What will I learn?
The Game Maker Course guides you through creating a solid 2D arcade prototype in GameMaker, starting from proper project setup and naming to handling player movement, enemies, scoring, and user interface. You will learn GML scripting, event handling, collision detection, and adding feedback like sounds, particles, and heads-up displays. Additionally, you will practise debugging, keeping records, analysing data, and mapping out future steps to turn your prototype into a full game.

Your classes are perfect. I purchased the one-year package and finally have the chance to follow several topics I'm interested in without having to switch platforms... I appreciate everything you do, I've already recommended you to others...
