Learn to Code in Game Maker Language (Udemy.com)

Good Basic Instructions.

learned a lot

Didn't inform it was for Game Maker 1 which is no longer sold instead of 2

Je clearly put time into making the course, it just doesn't flow and even some of the lectures cut out early or part of the screen that we need to see doesn't show.

Very easy to understand and very quick instructions.

Good, clear explanations of gml coding. This is not the current version of GameMaker, but it's the only coding course I've found. It's enough to get you familiar with the concepts so you can study further on your own from the GM manual. It would be great if the author would update it to GameMaker Studio 2.

Very good for beginners.
Everything is explained in a simple and easy to follow manner, which makes it a good course to go through for beginners to coding or newcomers to GML.

Even if you aren't using Game maker 1.4 this is still a pretty good tutorial. The beginning parts about adding sprites is a bit hard if you've never touched game maker before. However, if you can get into section two, the real fun starts and you learn a LOT very fast. Be ready!

Video quality a little bad for 720p in my personal opinion. And a little difficult to understand some words teacher said in English language, because i'm Russian. But it's my personal problems :)

I bought this course because I am a beginner. And this course delivered exactly what a beginner like me needed. Every promises this course had (based on the title) it delivered.
It was simple, accessible, every ressources that you need comes with it. And I learned a lot.
Now, from time to time, I had to pause and go back to be sure that I understood everything Game Maker was doing (for instance, with the "draw_rectangle" function, I didn't realize that the x1 and y1 parameters were actually referring to the up-left corner of the rectangle... And I realized after that the instructor actually did say that).
But It's actually my fault for not being attentive enough sometimes, and not the course.
So I wanna say "Thank You!" to the instructor, you helped me a lot!
5 out of 5!

its a little bit slow to actually get to the coding, but i love the guys accent :D

As someone who understands how to code a data structure from scratch, I find this course generally digestible & informative, but at the same time, it has some odd stop gaps in explanation of what gamemaker is actually generating under the hood as the course progresses, leaving my understanding of what I'm working with more abstract than preferable with that knowledge, and without that knowledge to guide my thoughts, I can't help but feel I'd be more lost. Most notably, I've felt the descriptions vague in the lectures on alarms and passing arrays by reference/value describing what array accessors are. calling '@' a sort of dereferencing operator would probably have been confusing to many, but it would have clarified the whole purpose of the lesson much sooner, and after all, if you're here looking to take this course, you are one of the few not looking to make a game without coding like gamemaker can afford. I still don't feel like the given description of alarms gave me a good idea of what to expect the output to be from that video alone: whether I'm dealing with a listener for something? a timer? a variable that increments per step/frame & waits for a sentinel value to execute a script? I'd still have to look elsewhere to get that sort of answer, but that kind of discussion would help guide those with fair knowledge of coding who are just looking for a tool to expedite their throughput with gamemaker. I'd have liked to know about parent objects a lot sooner since that's the closest I've seen gamemaker get to giving users polymorphism, which is the sort of thing you'll save a lot of time, effort & management issues with as you're refining your data model. The first project is a good place to start, certainly, & I hope subsequent courses give details for executing more nuanced games with fairly universal details like fine tuning hit boxes & varying them per frame, managing in game data models such as an inventory of collectibles, or changing the environment (assuming gamemaker has a way of referring to backgrounds, whole or tiled, & some way of changing those choices in gml, & not just changing object instances), as these are the sorts of features people who want to learn how to code in gml can't implement without learning to code.
