The orange selected area is the task bar, this is where most of the run commands are. The image above breaks the main window into 3 parts differentiated by the colors blue, green and orange.

Make sure to click the “obsolete” checkbox to be able to install 2.1 and 3.2.

After installing the Android SDK open the SDK Manager and install the SDK-Platform Tools and the Android versions 2.1 (API 7), 2.2 (API 8), 3.2 (API 13), 4.0.3 (API 15) as well as the latest version of Android. Note that you need to just install the SDK, not Android Studio, as it is not needed here. The first thing to do is to download the Java 7 JDK. GameMaker: Studio will not work with Android right out of the box. If a developer wants to get more technical then GameMaker has its own language known as GML that allows for infinite possibilities. GameMaker and GameMaker: Studio both have a drag and drop interfaces that make game development fairly easy. With the release of GameMaker: Studio, YoYo Games added a bunch of modules that allow development from desktop operating systems to Android, iOS and Tizen. But until 2012 when GameMaker: Studio came out, users could only develop for Windows and OS X. GameMaker is a tool for users to make their own games, created in 1999, the tool has had great success in letting people make amazing content. This tutorial is not Android specific, and can be applied to any operating system with little to no modification.

Keeping that in mind, here is an overview of GM: Studio and how to make a simple game.

But with the recent Humble Bundle deal, GameMaker: Studio pro and the Android module could be had for $12. The only downside is the price, the Android Module is $299.99, and to use it GameMaker: Studio pro is required, which is $150.
Fortunately, YoYo Games has created a tool that allows everyone, from complete novices to seasoned developers, to create Android games in an easier way than using Android Studio.

If it doesn't work on a certain platform, you'll have to go learn another language.Īnyway, that's my 2 cents, but I'd really like yours.Developing a game for Android can be difficult and time consuming. Sometimes even the simple things are a colossal pain to implement Humungous code base - their motto could be "we have an API for that". If you understand the system-level stuff, you can work with it to develop programs that may be better quality "under the hood". Able to work with extrenal technologies (databases, HTTP requests, etc.) Looks better on resumes & developers are in demand If there are memory or other system-related issues, debugging might be pretty tricky Not exactly resume material (if you're looking into developing professionally) Buy the right version and you can export games to just about any platform (web, Android, iOS as well as PC/Mac) - talk about platform independence! :) No need to mess with deep system-level stuff like memory management or multithreading One programming language (GML) to master Things that are not so simple, are fairly straightforward (multiplayer games, joystick support, running external programs, etc.)
Things that should be simple, are simple (animations, sound, etc.)
a "real" programming language (like Java, C++ etc)? From my experience in Java and GameMaker, here's what I've seen so far: So what I'd like to know is, what do you think are the pros and cons of using a system like GameMaker (or GameSalad or whatever else is out there) vs. But the more I thought about it, the more I got to asking myself, "why'd I ever stop using it?" :) Anyway today, I answered a couple questions on here from true beginners asking about where to start, and someone brought up GameMaker. But last year, I started again I learned Java and created a couple games and other programs. Then I got a new job and the programming stopped for awhile. See, when I started creating games, I used GameMaker I developed a complete "console" type system with at least 4-5 games for it, and back then I only knew the bare-bones basics of programming.
Okay, so this question may not be for total beginners, but I'm still close enough to one that I'd like to hear from more experienced developers on the subject.
