Hi all,
RE; The Gamemakers Apprentice.
I ordered this book from the States in order to stay one step in front
of the kids.
Is a fantastic resource and I can recommend it highly.

Hi Russell

I have always found the free version plenty of challenge for the kids. I
guess if your budget goes that far...but I would prefer to get some
copies of "The Gamemaker Apprentice" rather than pay for the full
version of the software.
Food for thought!
Cheers
Ros

Hello List,

   Has anyone here used the "pay" version of Game Maker in an  
educational context?    How valuable is it compared to the standard  
free version?  The 3D games made with it are certainly impressive but I
would like to know if it actually provides good educational value.

thanks in advance
