A website about programming games at school
Game Maker 5 created Mark Overmars is an excellent shareware
program that makes it easy to create your own PC games. There are many websites
with examples and tutorials online. The best place to start is by visiting the
Game Maker website.
I spend my summers volunteering at a youth center with a science program for kids and I came across http://www.rupert.id.au/tutorials/gamemaker5/index.php while teaching the kids some fun and educational things about modern day machinery as part of their project.
They thought it was really cool when I showed them some simple machines that they could make! I wanted to write to say thank you for the informative info on your website, the kids loved it!
I wanted to write to see if you could add a link to his simple machine article on your web page? I would like to show the kids that by simply asking they can help to make the web an even better resource than it already is.
Thank you very much in advance!
Jackie
Dear Jackie,
Thanks for your email.
I am more than happy to add a link to Marcus's page about simple machines. Please pass on my thanks and let him know that I like the fact that he has used images from wikimedia commons. One comment that you may wish to pass on to Marcus is that he may want to change his links so that they "don't break the back button" see the following article for an explanation of why opening links in new tabs is not allays a good idea.
1) Chose and two-digit number (41)
2) Add both digits together (4 + 1 = 5)
3) Subtract the sum from the original number
(41 - 5 = 36)
4) look up the symbol for 36
5) Click on the read your mind button
Tony Forster has some very interesting examples

I have converted the following examples by Larry to Game
Maker versions 5
In the process I added a few features to some of the examples and corrected
the odd bug. A nice range of simple Game
Maker 4 examples use the conversion
program to convert to GM5 and open with a copy of GM

Welcome to Game Maker Games, a site devoted to Game Maker,
the superlative game creation program by Mark Overmars (you can download Game
Maker here).
This is the home of the Monster
Game Archive, which we try to make the most complete listing of Game Maker
creations available. And we have many other things here as well.
So stay a while...stay forever >:)! http://www.gamemakergames.com/
The incredible machine is a game I have created for the first
official GM competition. The goal was to make a game with a limited set of
given resources without the possibility to add new resources to the game.
This game won the 6th place. This game is available as open source and executable.

Welcome to my PhD homepage, which contains information about
myself and my research into the educational potential of computer games. However,
the main body of this site is devoted to providing free information and resources
for teaching children how to make computer games in clubs and schools. http://www.gamelearning.net/
These examples have been written to help others learn how
to do various things with GameMaker. Most of these were written to answer
one or more questions posted in the GameMaker forums. These may not be the
best way to do what they are doing, but they might help you. Feel free to
make use of anything you find here in your own games. http://www.ladimaco.com/GameMaker/examples.html
Game Maker has been written to make it easier for people to
design and make their own computer games. Though you may not be able to make
games like Quake (they take teams of programmers years to make), you can still
make games that are lots of fun to play. Plenty of people love to play Tetris,
Pacman and other simple platform, puzzle or shooting games. These are the
style of game that you will be able to make using Game Maker http://www.newtown.tased.edu.au/computingweb/gamemaker/default.aspx
An example is a bare-bones program, containing just enough
code or actions to get the desired effect. You are expected (read: I made
it for you to...) to study the code, or if you don't feel like studying, to
copy it or build your game from the example. http://erikw.50free.org/site.php?goto=14
