Workshop on Friday, 9 April 2010 10:15 - 11:15 in room 208
TAGS: Software, draganddrop, gamemaker, gamemaking, games, programming
A hands on computer workshop for more advanced users of Game Maker. In this session Game Maker's powerful scripting language will be explored. Attendees should be familiar with Game Maker's drag and drop programming.
Game Maker's simple drag and drop interface is suitable down to Year 3, but through its powerful scripting language, it is suitable to Year 12 and beyond. With Gamemaker you can easily create games such as top view, platform games, first person shooters, 3D and networked multiplayer games. It is a fully fledged programming language capable of non game applications such as physics simulations and databases.
Computer games provide an engaging, relevant and authentic context for students to write programs. Computer programming develops students' mathematics and problem solving skills.
