One of the more overt demo games to come with Game-Maker. Almost a prologue or pseudo-sequel to Sample; the same character and monsters, and the same terrain. The only difference is the actual map. I don't think there's a goal to this game, though it takes a while to tell the difference.
The object is to demonstrate how background blocks are used to paint a map, and to show how all of the qualities demonstrated in Tutor work in practice.
Contents
Notes:
- Unlike Sample, you now can see the sky.
- The Book of Knowledge is just sitting there, near the start.
- The world loops horizontally, but the sky at the top and the perspective maze at the bottom keep things contained.
Instructions
Terrain will show you how the 'Terrain' picture blocks can be used in a scene. Terrain is not really a game, but you may roam around the scene using the arrow keys or the numeric keypad keys and get some ideas of some of Game-Maker's capabilities.
The 'p' key picks up objects. You had better pick up the lazer gun. The 'd' key drops objects. The numeric keypad keys 1, 3, 7, and 9 shoot. The Space Bar shoots four ways. The 'b' key drops bombs, if you have any. Stay clear of the bombs you drop.
