Just downloaded GameMaker to try my hand on it . Really very impressive . It took me just 15 min or less to make my first game ( from its tut section) in GameMaker .
Edit : 25 Dec
Ha haa .. here i am back again !!!! with a second game from its tut section . take a look at the below screenshot which i have coded myself 🙂
Woola the tut are so well written that with any problem i worked without any ref . But yes with Game Maker is becomes to easy to develop a nice home grown 2d Game without much hoss and foss .

Just trying to improve my drawing skills . Not so bad as i was trying after a long time :) . Hmm .. need to get a scanner or most probably a good camera so as to bring my drawing into pc for coloring etc. However need to change my monitor first as it is display wrong colors !!! . LOL
Was going through Inkspace and found a intresting tut abt packman so cannot stop myself from doing it .

Really very interesting . After viewing this video i did have a mixed feeling ( hmm … reminded me of my good old time spend with my dearest one’s ). Really loved it !!!
I have been waiting for some time to start with my GUI programming course but now finally i can take out some time to start working on it. So before I could start up I need to answer some of the questions that are popping out of my mind right now.
GUI Programming in Game Development / Soft. Development : GUI programming in Game development is not that imp but if u were doing serious Soft. Development then u need to get set ready to dive deep into the cores . For serious soft development u have lot of alternative too or u can choose from various hundred of liab’s . So how to choose which one? Simple answer is: depends on ur need .
Prominent GUI liab/tools are WIN API ,MFC , GTK , QT , wxWidgets , Win forms etc . Working on WNI API is really cumbersome as compared to other but the adv u get is no overhead . But will u use a tool that effect ur productivity?. If we take a look to other GUI liab’s many GUI toolkit are available now which are cross platform , easier and faster to work with ( creating a window in WIN API will take time and around 70-80 lines of code and ur problem does not end here J) .However if u want to understand GUI programming in more deeper terms then get set to dive in WIN API. Rest I leave it on you. Also there are GUI designer available which u can try out . Visual studio already contain GUI designer so as QT .
Anyway first I would be trying my hands on wxWidgets ( hmm I hv already tasted other earlier ) . Long way to go J
