Why take this course?
Hey there, and welcome to my course!
I am Gurpreet Singh Matharoo, a GameMaker Mentor and Instructor. I have years of experience in GameMaker, and have helped many people to learn game development through my courses, tutorials, and guides.
In this course, you'll learn how GameMaker Studio 2 works, and as an example we will create a shoot 'em up style game from the ground up. GameMaker Language (a.k.a. GML) is the built-in programming language used in GameMaker Studio. It is very quick to learn and simple to use. I will guide you through the basics of the language before starting, so even if you have no experience in coding at all, you will have no trouble in following this course.
The structure of the course is as follows:
- First I introduce you to GameMaker Studio 2 and explain how it works.
- Then I explain what events are and how they work, and then give you an introduction to programming in GML.
- Then I walk you through a step-by-step process of creating a shoot 'em up style game using GML.
- Then I show you how some more interesting things are done in GameMaker.
- You can also download the source file of the shoot 'em up game we make in this course.
When you finish the course, you will have the knowledge you require to create your own games and the base to learn more. With a GameMaker licence, you can even sell your games!
Furthermore, if you are my student, I can help you with any of your problems related to GameMaker, for no extra charges.
So what are you waiting for? Sign up for the course now, and let's get started!

does not leave code on screen long enough, hard to follow along, have to constantly pause game. broken English is hard to understand at times.

Gives all the basic information you need for GML, and I really love this, recommend this to all new users of GML.

EDIT: I just finished the course. It was extremely helpful to me, someone who plays a lot of games and is familiar with making sprites but has no development experience. My recommendation is definitely follow along in Game Maker Studio 2. I feel like I learned so much more quickly by following along. Great course, perfect for a beginner to game development and/or coding.
I am early on in the course. My initial impression is good! Gurpreet is a competent, thorough teacher. I feel like I am learning most of the important information, although as a beginner to coding and Game Maker I wish there was a deeper explanation of some concepts. For example, the origin point of room0 is not explained, so it took me 20 minutes to figure out why pressing the down key is added to y coordinate rather than subtracted... The course is a bit fast paced, but it's nothing pausing the video can't fix. Excited to learn more!

If you're an absolute beginner with GML, this is the course for you. Goo explanations for blocks of code. But these are just the basics - you'll have a lot still to learn as you go.
Have fun!

I am delighted to have taken this lovely course by Gurpreet Singh Matharoo, and I wholeheartedly recommend it for others who are currently starting on their journeys to develop their own games. I'm most certain this course will help you on your way, because it certainly did for me!
I love the way Gurpreet makes a point of explaining everything he does, why he does it and what it's used for, and the fact that he's quick and effective - not to mention to the point - with everything makes this all a very enjoyable experience to go through.
I'm very glad I decided to take this course, so thank you for creating it, Gurpreet! I'll definitely be looking forward to future content you might produce!

This was a great course! The instructor did a great job describing each line of code and why specific code is used. The lessons were well organized and his instruction was very concise. I really appreciated that there was no wasted time in the course. There is no "fluff", it is all valuable information. I will definitely be buying any other courses he makes for GML coding. If you are new to Gamemaker Studio 2, like I am, this course is the perfect one to start with.

I've always wanted to use GMS but I was scared because I didn't know where to start. This course helped me to forget all those fears and I made my first game!
I was an absolute begginer about programming and sometimes I had to ask or search on the internet to understand some things. So I think you need to know a little bit of basics to go fast throught the course .
Sometimes I had little problems to understand the teacher because I'm not a english speaker neither so it would be cool to have the subtitles not generated automatically, it would help!
Anyway, I'm really happy with all the learnings and now i'm ready to keep learning by myself. Thank you.

I have watch a few Youtube tutorials. This is great because it not only shows me what to do but why I am doing it. If this continues I am hopeful that I can go from knowing almost nothing to being able to accomplish my goals in GMS 2.

This is my 2nd course of the same tutor, but I found that this one is more about basic than the other one. If you have no experience with GMS2, I strongly recommend you to take this course first, it covers a lot of basic aspects of GMS2. Again, the tutor is straight-to-the-point style, if you take both of his courses, you will have enough knowledge to build your own game I think. I hope that this tutor will make the 3rd course about turn-based game, since there is not much online tutorial about this kind of game, I will be the first group of people to join~!

lets be clear that this course is providing only the basics and only for the examples provided not the minimum of basics. the instructor should provide some real examples during the course but unfortunately most of the course went for his drawing skills not for the GML programming.
