In this tutorial (you probably could have worked it out for yourself) we will add assets to the Sprites, Backgrounds, Objects, and Rooms folders. Notice the names of the different folders where our game assets will go. Before we start making the game for real identify and look over the project explorer window on the left-hand side of GameMaker Studio.

Name the project Scary Room as seen in the next image.Ĭlick the Create button and we can move on. Open GameMaker Studio and select File | New Project. You only need the free version to complete these tutorials.

You can search for and install the free version of GameMaker Studio on Steam or get it directly from here. Anything above 1 will run faster than normal and may end up skipping frames entirely.One of the things that make GameMaker different from other ways of making games is how easy it is to set up your development environment and get started. Anything between 0 and 1 will play at a slower speed than normal. 1 is the "normal" speed which is 1 frame for every step. Image_speed - This is how quickly the animation of an objects sprite will play. You can use it to do things like reseting an animation to the start or checking it to time things occuring like having a footstep sound play at exactly the frame when the foot contacts the ground or so. Image_index - This lets you get or set the current frame of animation for the sprite the object is using. For example, with your insect game you could have an animation for flying and one for walking and switch between them. It can be handy for things like if you wanted to switch from one animation to another. Sprite_index - This lets you get or set the sprite an object is using. Some functions that would be relevant to sprites and animations that you may want to look into. Especially when working with any functions you aren't familiar with. Whenever you have an issue be sure to check out that manual (F1) first. The Gamemaker documention is very handy and makes a great reference. Just some further info that may help you along since you're just starting out.
