[Yr11 Information Technology] Gamemaker purchase?

[Ciotti, George W]

Hi Vito,

We ended up having to pay for it via credit card – one of our staff 's – to be refunded by the school. The licenses for the full version, currently 8.1 for PC costs 185AUD for 10 seat licenses. That means if you want a class set you have to buy multiples of 10. E.g. 3 classes of 25 computers = 7.5x$185. Not cheap!

We think it's worth it because the trial version kept our year 10s interested throughout and the full version allows more features including developing apps for smart phones. Which integrates well with areas that include developing websites for iPhones/pods etc via iWebkit etc

Cheers
George

Hi George,

I've seen a price somewhere for $39... but this seemed steep for a site licence. I'd also be interested to know if any one has some advice.

Hi,

Has anyone on the list bought the full version of Gamemaker for their school? How have you paid for the licenses if so?
Thanks in advance
