A Powerful Tool to Create Amazing Games

We'll learn about the essentials of programming. By using GameMaker: Studio, we can take what you're learning and immediately apply it to actual games. You will also get a glimpse of the structure of video games.

GameMaker: Studio is a powerful and growing tool that is breaking its way into professional development. Developers often use GameMaker: Studio to quickly prototype and create games that don't require the power of other languages, like C++, Java, and C#. Hotline Miami, Spelunky, TowerFall Ascension, and Gunpoint are only a few examples of the great games that can be created with GameMaker: Studio.
