GAMEMAKER FOR BEGINNERS<br>Professional Development for Primary and
Secondary Teachers<br>Westall Secondary College, Clayton South,
Victoria<br>Tuesday 26 September 4:30pm to 7:30pm<br><br>Gamemaker <a href="http://www.freewebs.com/schoolgamemaker/www.gamemaker.nl">www.gamemaker.nl</a> is a freeware
programming language, though voluntary registration of $18US is encouraged.
Because it is free, it can be used at home and at school. Its simple drag & drop interface is suitable down to year 3 but
through its powerful scripting language, it is suitable to year 12 and
beyond. With Gamemaker you can easily create games such as top view, platform
games, first person shooters, 3D and networked multiplayer games. It is
a fully fledged programming language capable of non game applications such
as physics simulations and databases.<br><br>Participants at this workshop will work together at their own pace to create and take away their very own, fully functional game.<br><br>For further details:<br> <a href="http://www.freewebs.com/schoolgamemaker/beginners.htm">
