Product Description

Many game enthusiasts have aspirations to make games but don't know where to start. Make Amazing Games in Minutes introduces the game creation process to the aspiring game developer with no experience or programming ability. Taking the reader step-by-step through the various stages of developing a game and using the "drag and drop" game creation software included with the book, the reader can build his very own game. Using the tutorials and step-by-step methods, the reader will complete a fully playable Retro game, as well as platform, bat & ball, and side scrolling shoot-em ups. Other chapters cover more complex game features such as adding effects and scoreboards, putting the game on the Web, and installation script building. This must-have book is the essential resource for anyone interested in learning game creation and the Retro style.

5.0 out of 5 stars It does what it says on the cover!, 4 May 2007

By	P. Malling (Worcester) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book ticked three firsts for me! It was the first computer book I actually finished (I've tried dozens), it was the first computer book I actually understood and finally it was the first computer book I enjoyed. Not bad! The book (with demo software) gave a great insight into both making games and The Games Factory 2. If you've ever considered making your own game then look no further than this book. It holds your hand without being patronising. A book that totally delivers!
