Games

Playing games are alot of fun, don't you think? Many people (including myself) play games and then have a real urge to make a game! Perhaps it's because you've played a game where you think it was badly designed, or something could have been done better.

You have a sudden rush of excitement, and then get a feeling of disappointment because you then think you need to learn C++. Perhaps you have tried to learn a programming language before and struggled to do anything more complicated than putting a few words onto the screen?.....


Well worry no more, this book will show you everything you need to know. There are a large number of easy to use, no programming required game making tools around these days. Just because you dont need to code doesnt mean these creation tools cant create some amazing games. You will soon discover that you can make games with scrolling graphics, 3D graphics and fantastic sound effects, all by using your mouse. In the Awesome Games Creation - 3rd Editon book we are covering some of the easiest tools around. New to this edition are - The Games Factory 2, FPS Creator and Game Maker 7.


Demos included on the DVD-ROM

Game Maker 7

This 2D game making tool is similar to Games Factory 2, but probably not as powerful overall. Still a very good tool for beginning to learn about game creating. You can use both drag and drop programming as well as using the inbuilt GML coding script.

   
 

3D Game Maker

A very simple game creation program for the beginner. No complex programming terms or ideas to contend with here, just click and select which objects you want, the type of background and game and there you have it. Your first 3D game.
