Planning, HUDs, and Spawners in GameMaker
About this Course
This course is the third course in the specialization about learning how to develop video games using GameMaker on Windows or Mac. Why use GameMaker instead of using C# and Unity or C++ and Unreal*? Learning to develop games with GameMaker is much easier than learning to program in C# or C++ AND learning Unity or Unreal. If you just want to continue learning how to develop games in a more \"gentle\" way, this is a great starting point. This course assumes you have the prerequisite knowledge from the previous courses in the specialization. You should make sure you have that knowledge, either by taking those previous courses or from personal experience, before tackling this course. Throughout this course you\'ll continue building your foundational GameMaker knowledge by exploring more GameMaker and game development topics. Module 1: Learn how to have NPCs plan their actions Module 2: Learn how to add HUDs (Heads-Up Displays) to your games Module 3: Learn how to implement spawners in your games Module 4: Learn how to implement a menu system * I do have Coursera Specializations called C# Programming for Unity Game Development and C++ Programming for Unreal Game Development for those more advanced topics.Created by: University of Colorado System
