Gamemaker Studio 2, Gms 1.4 or even the Game Maker 8 have an alternative unique way to make video games without coding. Most ides like Unity, Godot etc. use an already existing scipting language that is not visual. Gamemaker has it's own version of a scripting/programming language. Here it is called GML which stands for Gamemaker language. But as an alternative you can use a block tool that substitutes the programming language visually with DnD which stands for drag and drop. DnD: These visual blocks are instructions/commands in every object to do things like moving, setting and getting values or drawing things on the screen. This crash course will guide you through the most important/essential parts of making games which is: - detecting a keyboard input - moving things by updating x,y values or by direction plus speed - instance creation and destruction - randomness and variables to store values These topic build the foundation to build fast and easy with DnD small video games in just a few minutes. // free resouces found here: background, ships, shots, asteroids by Ansimuz: CC0 https://opengameart.org/content/space-ship-shooter-pixel-art-assets https://opengameart.org/content/warped-fast-ship explosion by JROB774 CC3 https://opengameart.org/content/pixel-explosion-12-frames ?
