Make ten simple, casual games, and learn a ton of GML coding along the way. Each of these games is the kind you can play when you have a minute or two free, and are great for playing on your PC, or exported to HTML5 or Android.
Each game in Practical GameMaker Projects has its own chapter that explains the process of making each game, along with sketches, screenshots, coding, explanations, and tips. For each game there is a YYZ project file of the completed game that is ready to load and play. Also, all resources are available so you can make the game as you follow along in the book.
Each chapter has an introduction that explains what the aim of the game is, followed by a design and coding section which will cover the coding of the game. You're free to re-use code in your own projects, both free and paid.
At the end of each chapter there is a things-to-try page that gives you five things to add to the game to improve its playability or appearance - pushing you a little to improve your planning and GML skills.

Ben Tyers is a freelance programmer and technical writer by day and a sci-fi horror novel writer by night. He made his first computer game way back in 1984, on a ZX Spectrum 48K computer, when he was eight years old. His passion for creation has continued since then. He holds a number of computer-related qualifications. When relaxing, Ben has an infatuation for old-school horror and sci-fi films, particularly 1960s B movies.
