Computer Games with Game Maker

A chronicle of JAN 333A, the Computer Games interim project at Wofford College, January 2009.

Some interesting problems came up today. One common issue is character movement in platform games: moving left, moving right, standing, jumping, climbing, and falling. The platform tutorial we worked the first week just falls short of explaining all these. I came across a Platform Engine for Game Maker. (This appears to be the one that Jesse offered to Stuart this morning.) I'm checking it out and I'll let you know what I think about it.
