Week 11

2. +
What were we doing in last weeks
tutorial?

3. +
Last week you learnt how to
animate your sprites
using GameMakers built in sprite editor.

4. +
This week
You will be learning
about views and
how we can apply
and edit them in
GameMaker.

5. +
What does the word “view” mean?
In game development the ‘view’ refers to
what we can, or can’t, see of the game level.

6. +
What’s the difference between
these 2 games?

7. +
How much of the level can you
normally see in a platform game?

8. +
Why might we only show part of a
game level?

9. +
By withholding what is in front of the
player we can build tension
This can increase the players challenge.

10. +
Why might we want to show all of a
game level?

11. +
Showing the whole level can show
the player their objective

12. +
Today
You will need to add a view system to
your game rooms.
You will need to make that view follow
