Gamemaker

Instructions

The possibilities are endless really. Gamemaker 8.1 will have to be downloaded (http://store.yoyogames.com/browse?platform=9) into a public space from which you can load it up on your computer each class, until the techie puts it permanently on your station.

The difficulty of the game you create can be as simple as a pac-man 2 dimensional arcade game or as advanced as a doom-like 3 dimensional action game. So where do  you start? I would say trying to create one simple one first would be a good idea, so follow these tutorials: http://sandbox.yoyogames.com/make/tutorials

Evaluation

You will make an outline of what criteria your game should be marked on as part of the assignment…then you have three people in the class play your game and evaluate it based on the criteria you created.
