How To: Gamemaker

Have you ever wished that you knew how to make a computer game? Do ideas flow into your head all the time and you say to yourself "man, if only I could make it a reality."?

Well if you know how to click & drag with your mouse, then you can make programs. All you need to do is download the free program called Gamemaker http://www.gamemaker.nl/
I've used this program for so many things. I've made a bunch of games, and I also used it to write the Virtual Yearbook program for the WHS class of '01 site. It's a very fexible, easy to use, and easy to learn program.

I think they even use it in some middle schools to teach kids the basics of computer languages.
