Game Maker Archive News #3

Posted by koldmonster1 on Feb. 12, 2010, 1:06 p.m.

It's been 2 weeks since I post this blog. But it's time to start with examples for beginners and intermediate GM users. We've got 2 Game Maker examples to showcase. One is for the sine/cosine, and the other is the realtime snake movement.

You, too, should consider converting Game Maker 4 examples to at least Game Maker versions 5, 6, 7 and/or 8.


Sine/Cosine Sprite Movement

This example shows the starship in circles. Good for beginners.

Keys

  • Left/Right keys: Move cosine value.

  • Up/Down keys: Move sine value.

  • Escape: Exits the game.

    Download this example here.


    Real-time Snake Movement (16x16 Grid-based)

    While I developing "Bugs & Insects" for Game Maker 4.2, I decided to make a snake movement after completing "Super Snake Biter". This is a real-time based snake movement before I make another snake game from Game 6. Intermediate GM users should recommend this one!

    Keys

  • Arrow keys: Move snake

    Note: Try holding the keys down for better snake game-play and movement.

    Download this example here.


    You don't have to give credit to these 2 examples if you want, but it would be nice. My Super Mario Bros. Plus 2005 progress is still growing well. I got almost all the graphics done, and I still need to make my demo recordings for some screenshots. We'll discuss about it the next time. Plus, when I make new examples part of my Game 6 archives, we'll post them when it's available. My new website for games, music, and arts is coming soon! Let's hope there will be any GM and any other content available. Later!

    O_o

    I doubt anyone was using GM4 here. Most people started with GM6.

    Also, probably nobody can use your examples since they are GM5. Take your own advice rofl

    How old are you?

    And what the heck is going on here??

    Who are you? I've never seen someone so…

    Words elude me for your condition.

    Nobody, and I mean nobody uses GM4. I doubt any use 5 either. Now that I think about it, most have even moved from 6 to 7 or 8.

    I'd like to take a look at these examples, but no. It's GMD, which is outdated as hell.

    A conversion would be nice.

    This is like a 64digits post that's slowly defrosted from 5 years ago.

    LOL. Converting to Game Maker versions 5-8 is believing. I doubt that from Kaz.

    And Kilin, that would be a great idea… You should go to the YoYoGames and YoYoGames Wiki websites to look for the conversion program.

    Are you using some kind of language translator?

    Because this sense of it does make does not.
