  4. Game Maker Steps • Describe the game you are trying to create What is it supposed to do? • What is it supposed to look like? • Define the sprites • Define the sounds • Define the objects themselves, but not (yet) their events and actions • Go back and define each object’s events and actions • Define the room • Put the object instances in the room It is best to define the objects first and then create their events and actions later because some of those actions will need to be asked for in terms of objects (that might not have been created yet) (mjb march 12 209 OSU)

  8. Adding an Event to an Object with the Event Selector • This menu allows you to select what will trigger this event • Some of these events will bring up other dialog boxes to let you be more specific. For example, the Mouse event button will bring up another dialog box to let you specify what the mouse has to do (buttons, press/release, moving, etc.) to trigger this event. • You then drag and drop into the actions area as many actions as this trigger will cause to happen

  9. Creating an Object’s Events and Actions • If you want events associated with this object click Add Event • Select what will trigger the event from the Event Selector • Drag and drop what action this event will cause from the action icons into the Action area.
