How To Make Your Own Video Games, with Game Maker.

To make your own video or computer games, you do not need to learn coding or software programming.

There are programs (software) that make it easier for one to make a computer game.

One program is GameMaker Studio. In the past, about 2007 A.D., it was known as Game Maker.

I discovered Game Maker 7 in 2007 A.D. For many years before that, I had been daydreaming about making my own video games based on those that I liked, such as Heart of Darkness (Andy and his dog) on PlayStation 1, and Sonic & Knuckles on Sega Genesis.

The images in my mind were very clear. I even created game music in my head. I saw Knuckles climbing the wall of a tall tower in the sky while fighting flying creatures that could knock him down to his death. I saw a girl discovering Andy’s plane and using it for her own journey into the Heart of Darkness.

But I did not think I would ever make my own games. I assumed that those who made video games had to be very intelligent and know very complex things, such as “coding”.

I had been imagining making my own video games since about 2002 A.D. I daydreamed many kinds of adventures.

Then one day in July 2007 A.D., my life was forever changed. I was sitting at the computer one afternoon, in my town of Douala, Cameroon.

I did not know what to search for on Google.com. As I sat, I started thinking how nice it would be if I could play a game like Sonic 1 on the computer. I saw Sonic running in Green Hill Zone, in my mind.

I typed in the Google search bar: how to make a video game.

And suddenly, in the search results, I saw Game Maker mentioned. An appetizing message said something like “Create your own video games without writing a single line of code.”

I downloaded Game Maker 7 from the website, which was called yoygames.com .

I was very blessed. Today (1^st February 2019, Friday) if you type those same words in Google.com, “how to make a video game”, you may never see what I saw at that time, and so you might never discover Game Maker, or GameMaker Studio as it is called today.

So, to dispel ignorance and save time for those who still wonder how to make a video game, I wrote this information. There are programs that make it easy to make video games without you needing to learn complex programming languages.

You can start with these: Game Maker 5 and Game Maker 7.

1. Game Maker 7.

The first version of Game Maker I discovered.

Download Game Maker 7.

2. Game Maker 5.3.

This version has less system requirements than Game Maker 7. Some computers could not run games made with Game Maker 7, which led me to use Game Maker 5.3.

Download Game Maker 5.3.

3. GameMaker 8.1.141 Standard

4. GameMaker Studio.

Game Maker 5.3, GameMaker 8.1.141 and Game Maker 7 make games only for Windows.

If you want a version of Game Maker that can make games for Windows and other platforms like Android, iOS, Mac OS X, HTML 5, Ubuntu (Linux), Tizen, Windows Phone 8, and others, then you can try GameMaker Studio 1.4.1522 or the latest version of 1.4: GameMaker Studio 1.4.9999.

There is also GameMaker Studio 2, but it runs only in 64-bit Windows. So if your Windows is 32-bit, you may be unable to use GameMaker Studio 2.

NOTE: Game Maker or GameMaker Studio is not the only software for making video games. You can search for others on the Internet. You can use a search engine like Google.com and you type: programs or software for making video games .

15 Ugliest Cars Ever Made?

Adobe Digital Editions ADE 3 Installer

Adobe Digital Editions ADE 3 Installer.

Adobe Digital Editions 3. (Download it below.)

Why you need Adobe Digital Editions 3.

It appears that when more recent versions of Adobe Digital Editions (such as 4 and 4.5) are tried to install, the computer refuses and says that there is a problem with the .NET Framework files.

You get an error message saying something like ".NET Framework Initialization Error. To run this application you must first install one of the following versions of the .NET Framework: v4.0.30319."

Even when you install the required .NET Framework, the computer still gives the error and refuses to install Adobe Digital Editions 4 and 4.5.

Solution: Use Adobe Digital Editions 3.

If you are using Windows 7 32-bit, use Adobe Digital Editions 3. It will not give an error about .NET Framework. However , first make sure you install the required version of .NET Framework.

I do not know if Adobe Digital Editions 3 works on other versions of Windows. Try and see.

Busting Stereotypes 1. Men Can Wear Pink too!

Busting Stereotypes 1. Men Can Wear Pink too!

I want to bust (destroy) the stereotype that "pink is for girls".

I went to the Marché Bonamoussadi, in my town of Douala, on Monday the 16th October 2017.

When I went to buy a new bag, I chose pink.

The seller said: "Voici les bleus." (It is French for "here are the blue ones.")

I took the pink bag, because I liked it.

(He wanted to sell it to me for twelve thousand francs CFA, but I negotiated and got it at five thousand francs, less than half his price.)

There is the stereotype that the colour pink is for women. People also think that a man who wears pink is a homosexual.

Colour on its own has no meaning. It was made by God. It is people who give meanings to colours.

When you were born you had no such concerns. But you started learning from other people (through socialization) that "pink is for girls", while "blue is for boys". It became your habitual thinking.

Anybody can be trained to believe anything, from childhood.

Here are some man-made beliefs which may not be right:

1. "You should not greet people with your left hand."

What has the left hand done? If it was bad why did God give it to us? It is human beings who made the rule, not God. The left hand is as good as the right hand.

2. "Older people are always wiser than younger people."

This belief feeds the pride of people. It tries to make you feel superior to those younger than you. It is not true. Older people may have more experience but wisdom is different. There are adults and elderly people who do foolish, harmful things, like stealing, insulting people, fornicating, getting drunk, and ignoring other people's useful opinions. That is not wisdom.

Examine your beliefs. Don't blindly swallow what everyone says. My main source of advice is the Bible.

God does not say men should not wear pink.

So will you keep living in fear of "what people say", or will you free yourself?
