The
inaugural Australian Game Programming in Schools Conference was held on
Friday Sep 9, 2005, at Swinburne University. This conference explored the the
learning theory underpinning game programming in schools. Speakers from around
Australia shared best practice in using game programming as a relevant, authentic
and highly motivating task which develops higher order cognitive and metacognitive
skills.

Literature on school improvement is full of exhortations to make the content of instruction "relevant." …….. But if one does belong to a culture in which video games are important, transforming oneself from a consumer to a producer of games may well be an even more powerful way for some children to find importance in what they are doing.
Preface by Seymour Papert to Minds in Play by Yasmin Kafai
Computer Club is an activity held by Haileybury College, Edrington, Berwick, Victoria Australia. It rises from our commitment to "relevant" self directed learning. The games are the work of our students, they set their own goals, they are very much their creations.
They are published here because we value their efforts. We encourage dialogue with other schools who recognise the value of game programming as a learning tool. Your comments and questions are welcome, email tforster <at> haileybury.vic.edu.au

Over the past years Game Maker is being used more and more for educational purposes, as a vehicle to teach students about programming, technology, and of course game design itself. The activities range from technology summer camps (see for example the Childrens Technology Workshop) and elementary schools, to highschools and universities (for example the course on Game design at Utrecht University). On this page you find information and links that are useful for educators. If you created your own material based on Game Maker and want to share it, or want to express your opinion about this topic, please send a mail to gamemaker @ wanadoo.nl.

Carl Gustafsson's Game Maker Pages
Welcome to my Game Maker Pages. These pages are devoted to the games creation tool Game Maker by Mark Overmars. Game Maker is freeware, and I heartily recommend it to anyone interested in creating their own computer games on the standard PC.

These examples will run on Game Maker version 5.x and version 6.x, although some of the text functions may not display perfectly with v6.x

Many people complain about the fact that Game Maker is very slow. However speed can differ greatly from your programming technique. Many things can be performed much more efficiently. This varies from using local instead of global variables but also things like which objects has a collision event.
