Game Maker

For my project I created a game on a website Game Maker. I hoped to learn how to create the foundations of a videogame.

I completed each step to create a game starting from a sprite which is the character. I encountered a failure because the computer shut down when I was almost done my project and I lost all my stuff. I had to restart all over again. To overcome this problem I just did my project on creating a sprite,which is a character that you can control in the game.

I learned a lot through the creation of this project. I learned the basic structures of how to create a game. I learned how to be a better problem solver because I definitely came across a lot of problems.  I learned creating a little game is not as difficult as one might think.

I learned some things about myself also while doing this project. I learned that if I’m determined about completing something then it will get done. I learned that I really do like coding and creating games and I might consider going into that field.

If I could do this project differently I would've created the whole game and submitted me playing it. I would also have just created a game with more detail than what I have planned, but I don't know how that would've worked out with  me meeting the checkpoints.

Some tips for people using game maker is to go on youtube for help. There is excellent on there. I really want to do a game in more detail after doing this project. With multiple sprites and colors, with missions.

This game helped me explain that creating a basic game is possible for someone my age in just a few weeks. I would have been able to do it if I didn’t run into the problem I had. If I can do it anyone my age can do it. It's not hard at all.
