gamemaker: your first maze game

[MrLENNAYY]

No offense meant, but one thing I hate about game maker tutorials is when it starts off by 'draw some sprites'. Should really just cut to the chase, if sprite dimensions are important it can be mentioned as well as how many sprites necessary, but we don't really need to see the sprites being drawn.

[AllHailKingKurt]

Thanks, I just downloaded Gamemaker 8.0 last night, and couldn't figure out how to make my characters I made for my maze move, but with this video you posted, I was able to figure out how to do it, and the game is working great!!!

Thanks!!!

[dannppp]

what does relative mean when you check it

[xxSyphenxx]

@dannppp i think it means its noted in the blue bar

[MAKKELATI]

very nice!

[jochem1996]

make a view, it will be harder to find the exit then

[types10000]

hey, for people in Australia, there is a game development competition at swinburn

[Marioh10Webkinz]

I'm making one so i watching...

[ChrisFigure8]

every time i try to go to the left it goes to the right!

[AllHailKingKurt]

Make sure you have the left button set Jump To Position, and that the X value is set to -4, Y is set to 0, and the relative button is clicked, if the X value is set to positive 4, it will go right.

[Redneval623]

all i get when i play the game is a grey screen....?

HELP ME!!

[codepat97]

what is the program u used to record ur screen?

[psyguy08]

Hypercam 2.

[Technoman155]

@codepat97 probably hypercan 2 or 3 (i use three) i recognize teh clicking

[MrPishky]

yes nice video but the song is missing

[psyguy08]

I don't need or want a song in the video. just watch the video and listen to something else, maybe in iTunes, perhaps.

[MrLENNAYY]

@MrPishky I prefer it without the song :D

[fisheraceman]

i think that this helped out a lot, most videos dont show as much, most of them are more high tech. beginners will not have problem making them. though i do wonder how to make the levels inter connect.

[sveckija]

TNX for a mega idiot like me this helps A LOT

[mrcontesty]

thanks but the problem is it don't move when i press up

[DaRealMistaSandman]

i think i stuffed up =(

when controlling the character sprite, I have to repeatedly tap the control keys rather than having the option to hold in the buttons. help?

[psyguy08]

ok when you made the movement for the character, did you remember to click the 'relative' box at 2:03 in the video?

[Mortan95]

@DaRealMistaSandman Maybe you made your event ''key press'' instead of ''keyboard" ?

[thedarklordx]

@Mortan95 go to the one that says key press

[AnthonyakaRisk]

Peace thanks dude

[mezereon2]

nice vid but you could add a song or something

[jasonfoxrox]

Game Maker 7 is rubbish. The earlier versions are much better.

[psyguy08]

explain

[jasonfoxrox]

It's impossible to make a quality platform game without there being errors with the characters or enemies here and there. And they aren't mine, because I've practiced the variables and actions of my platform games. Plus, I don't really like how Mark Overmars turned over Gamemaker to yoyogames or whatever.

[psyguy08]

Alot of my gamemaker 7 games have came out 100% succesful plenty of times. but I agree with you about the yoyogames thing.

[GQblin25]

dude thanks! can u put a highscore in it or something that time cus i got runescape private server and i want people play it and the best gets mod :D

thats promotion

[sunglasseshat]

thanks alot!

[bubbley0398]

kwlio, just some ideas to improve it, you could put a health bar on so when ever it touches the wall you could lose a life, make all the objects smaller so you can make it longer and also put some fake routes in make a route not taking you to the finish. You don't have to do it I am just sayin

[QuintonBfast]

not bad...

[Magicman2889]

doesnt matter, click anything, that just lets u pick how u change from lvl to lvl

[yodasmack1]

you know for the go to next door there is no fade out and in what do i do

[Mishibie]

ummm, for the sprite, just un-check Transparent, and just use the dump tool

[jupsjustinjups]

you can walk tru the wall

[Salien1999]

go to the wall object and click the box to make it solid.That should help.If it doesn't add an event for the collision with the wall and make it where it won't move through it.Or just put a code in the collision event.

[feoka]

uuum i did this and when i made a second level it just... well the walls arent solid even though i marked them as solid. what do i do XD 2nd level plz help me wanna finish game

[kamikazepyro]

after 3 months, you're still working on it? or you stopped working on your game? because, maybe I can help you...

[HANDBANA01]

tnx but thats not the tip i need i need it mario stilyer

[Activaler]

[jericoferrari55]

mine has a problem...when i click the green arrow to play the game i made it says "Failed to initialize drawing surfaces.Please check that you graphics card meets the minimum requirements and that your drivers are up-to-date.If your graphics card has little memory,try switching you computer to a lower resolution" what should i do??

[pschodog3]

What it says.

[abombapoc]

i got game maker 6

[psyguy08]

yeah for the 'fade out and in' finish, you need Game maker 7.0.

[abombapoc]

Hmm... I don't have "Fade out and in" when im trying to do my finish for the level, did i do something wrong?

[psyguy08]

do you have game maker 7 or 6?

[ClubBlew]

Thats a cool beginner game.

[joeshepheard]

thanks so much this has led me onto bigger better things i'm now making my own thanks dude

[onemanarmy675]

i dont know how to make my walking animation stop when i stop walking!how i does that?

[reviewerguy2]

when you do the "release left/right" or whatever you also put the change sprite in.

[joshyposhy1994]

how did u do the walls soooooooo fast?

[Deadendgame]

hold Shift then drag

[GameMakerCommunity]

Amateur but good. use scripts other time ;)

[MadoxX999]

sick

[PivotZap]

How do you add more levels?

[psyguy08]

just simply click the room icon again and that would be your second level. you would go to that level automatically when you touch the finish.

[PivotZap]

Also, can I make obstacles that'll make 'em go to the beginning of THAT level?

[drinking12334]

jup. Go to player, add collision with (object restart)

and go to main one sub-menu then to rooms. and pick restart room.

[caert11]

but u can go through the wall

[giantja144]

check ur object stats

[DennisSMWHacker]

Thanks, this video helped me a lot.

[ayayoto]

I think this si gonna help me im not sure if what i think is the problem but if it is thanks

[wapperott]

oh and im not saying this vid is crap but would puting the green carecter bounce against the wall?

[davefan12]

Thanks alot for this.I gota figure out how to make my guy move the right way.

[FunnyBoyz79]

OMG THANK YOU I COULD NOT GET THE GAME TO RESTART AFTER THE LAST LEVEL!  Thx, dude.

[brutaka358]

Thank you very much, this helped!

[snipercreations]

this is the best of all and the easiest of all videos i watched =D thanks dude it worked and i made my first game =DDDD 5/5

[psyguy08]

ty!

[Snyphen3]

and don't make something that will move solid unless for some reason you have too

[psyguy08]

thanks ^_^

[Snyphen3]

instead of putting a white block at the bottom corner of the blue box sprite, you could have just unclicked transparent.

[bmxpro1995]

haha cool ill try this looks a lot easier then all the other videos i watched
