Tutorial 1 – Creating a Game in Game Maker
- To create a new project simply click the button labelled New to take you to the following screen:
GameMaker permits you to specify what type of project it is that you wish to create.
2. The option we are interested in is GameMaker Language: This will create a project where the default programming is done using the GameMaker Language (GML).
The other option is Drag and Drop Project: This will create a new project in which the Object Editor (and any other editors that permit code) will be set up to use the GameMaker Studio 2 Drag and Drop interface.
3. You will then be prompted to choose a save location for the project and then it will be opened in GameMaker Studio 2.
4. Choose to save the project in a location on your computer that you will remember in the future. Give the game a name, such as SpaceNuts.
