sorry for the cross-posts,</span><br><span style="font-style: italic;"><br>“Excuse me… How do we use these scripting functions?”</span><br><br>This PD session will introduce participants to scripting in Game Maker
by creating drag-and-drop games.<br><br>VITTA and experienced teacher Nat Bradshaw present a practical
session of learning where you will explore Game Maker in order to
inspire and engage. Game Maker allows you to quickly create exciting
computer games. Gain confidence in programming skills and develop an
exciting game to showcase to your students.<br><br>Game Maker's
simple drag and drop interface is friendly enough to use with as young
as Year 3, but through its powerful scripting language, it is suitable
for students at all levels. With Game Maker you can easily create games
such as top view, platform games, first person shooters, 3D and
networked multiplayer games. It is a fully fledged programming language
capable of non game applications such as physics simulations and
databases.<br><br>This Professional
