Synopsis

This book covers Game Maker Studio 2. Using GM Studio, you will learn how to make a basic pong game with this book and the free resources that come with it. You will learn how computer games work and how simple games may be created. This is an easy-read that tries to get you started real quick. We assume you are totally new to game programming. To make things easy for you, we use simple language throughout the book. And we simplify many of the technical terms into something more straight forward and human friendly. Many trade jargons are intentionally skipped. Game Maker Studio is a very special game engine because it is a hybrid drag-and-drop and scripting platform - it does not rely solely on drag drop. There are places where scripting is necessary to get things done. Scripting is more complicated but is way more flexible and powerful. The beautiful thing here is that you do not write script from ground zero to produce a game. You use drag and drop to produce the basic structure of your game, then use very simple scripts to give the finishing touch. Our demo material includes scripts, to show you minimum degree of scripting to achieve our purposes.
