Year End Review.

Its the end of the year and i would like to review the things i have done. When i got into this class i was originally planning to do some coding. But a group of friends invited me to join their group, using game maker. To start off i had no idea what or how to start on game maker, so i found some tutorials in you tube, and online. Also i got tips from time to time from Howard, which improved some of my knowledge towards game maker. In a few weeks, i learned how to create Pause buttons.  Although it was amateurishly made, i think it still works for the game. That week i had to tweak a few things to actually made it work, which made me pretty interested in game maker then. From then on, i looked through other tutorials, online websites and their main site for more hints/tips for the gml (game maker language).

 In about a month or two, i created other codes to implement the game, save's main menu, and health. The things i could do were limited simply because i was completely new to game maker. Half way through the semester, the game that my group and I tried to create all went down, for some reason some unreasonable corrupted files were present. After this event we all restarted and tried to start from what we have left from the backup. With my knowledge i thought to myself to make a mini-game inside our game. Which i believe was a good choice because that way i could explore other ways to make a game better. Nearly the end of the semester i created many sprites, many objects and learned how to use variables with game maker. I'm confident that if i had to make a really bad game, i can do it.
