L1 GM2 RPG Skills
Depth and Decor
The following video will guide you through creating a simple game in GameMaker 2.
This video shows how to get started with GameMaker 2 and introduces ROOMS, OBJECTS and SPRITES.
To make things happen, you are shown how to enter an elementary code (GameMaker Language (GML), very similar to Javascript and Python) to move the SPRITE using EVENTS (CREATE, STEP) and ACTIONS (code).
It also introduces the concept of VIEWPORTS to show the game on the screen.
