Gamemaker is a great tool, I've done some great stuff with it. It's not just for games either, it's a full programming language so you can do many things with it. I've already made a 3D graphing calculator and a Sudoku Solver in Gamemaker.
It has its limitations though. One of the biggest drawbacks is that it runs off interpreted code, so it runs a ton slower than any compiled language. Also, might I suggest www.64digits.com if you want an easy place to host your games/examples? Great site, it's much more than just a game host. But they only accept Gamemaker made games. |

QUOTE(csp4.0 @ Apr 14 2007, 09:14 PM)  Gamemaker isn't that bad actually, but I would rather make a game using pure C++ and some voxels and graphics and stuff like that, because once you build your game with Gamemaker, the game belongs to GM I don't know where you got that from, But its wrong. Anything you create is YOURS - bar what you dont have licence to, such as resources created by other people which you have persmission to use.

Game Maker is one of the BEST programming languages for those too young or lazy to learn C! (I know, that sounds bad, doesn't it?) This is a great program for those that aren't going to learn C yet but want to make the best possible games. It also teaches you for loops, while loops, other kinds of loops (=P), arrays, and other valuable programming code such as if then else. I have been using Game Maker for about 5 years now. I am starting to learn C, and in fact I was planning on starting this week! Game Maker has a new web site, www.yoyogames.com. They are a good addition to it, but they take a while to respond to your complaints. This is extremely valuable and I suggest you get it, because it only costs 20$!
