Designing Games with Game Maker

Version 8.0
Written by Mark Overmars

What is new

Version 8.0 of Game Maker has a large number of improvements over version 7.0. In this section some of the most important changes are described.

Using Game Maker

Game Maker is an easy to use program for creating your own computer games. This section gives you all the information you need for creating your first games.

Advanced use

This section of the help file gives you information about the more advanced aspects of Game Maker.

Polishing your game

When you want to distribute your game you had better make sure that it has all the ingredients that make it a great game. Besides the game itself this means that you should provide game information, set the correct global game settings, and take care of speed. This section gives you information about these aspects.

The Game Maker Language (GML)

Game Maker contains a built-in programming language. This programming language gives you much more flexibility and control than the standard actions. We will refer to this language as GML (Game Maker Language). In this section we describe the language GML and we give an overview of all the (close to 1000) functions and variables available to control all aspects of your game.
