| − | One of the more overt demo games to come with Game-Maker. If you're just getting into the software, this is the first game you'll want to play. It gives a quick overview of most of the mechanisms and practical aspects to the software, in particular the operations of background blocks. Characters are scraped from all of RSD's other demo games, lending the game an extra after school special crossover feel.

| − | ==Instructions==
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''TUTOR'' is not a game. It is a demonstration of some of Game-Maker's features.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Move the character around the scene with the '''arrow keys'''. You will be able to observe and experience the following Game-Maker capabilities.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * '''Scrolling and scrolling control'''. ''TUTOR'' has scrolling set to permit horizontal scrolling only.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * '''Solid blocks''' stop the character.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * '''One way doors'''. Blocks with one solid side prevent the character from entering the block from one side, but allow it to move through the block from the other sides.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * '''Shooting'''. Press the '''space''' key to try it out.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Blocks can '''change upon contact''' with the character into other blocks.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * The character can '''change into another character''' as you travel from level to level.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Blocks can '''change after a set time''' has elapsed. You can use this feature to create background animation by having blocks change into other blocks in rapid succession.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Blocks can '''change on contact and on time'''. ''TUTOR'' shows a case where block "1" changes to "2" and block "3" to "4" and then back to the first blocks based on time. But "1" also changes to "3" and "4" to "1" upon contact with the character. You can set up some tricky stuff with this arrangement.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * '''Gravity'''. It pulls you this way and that.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * '''Keys and Doors'''. You can set up 'special counters' that force you to contact one or more blocks, such as pictures of keys, before another block will change, such as a door changing to an open door.
