In this course, you will become a game developer yourself! Together, we will programme an exciting space game with GameMaker, in which you control a spaceship and navigate through space.

You will learn how games are structured in a playful way: you will work with sprites, objects and rooms, set your spaceship in motion and determine what happens when it encounters obstacles or objects. This creates effects, points and little surprises in the game.

Simple drag-and-drop building blocks make programming easy to understand and really fun. At the end, you will have your own playable game with points, lives and lots of movement. You can proudly show off your cool game and, of course, play it yourself.

The course is recommended for ages 12 and up, or if you have already completed the course ‘Program your first game’.

Good keyboard and mouse skills are a prerequisite.
