Game Maker Lite Tutorial

This is Game Maker Lite tutorial. In this tutorial we will explain how to use particles in the game / project created with this version. Because Game Maker Lite does not allow to use particles we will use sprite animation generated in the Particle Designer.

1. Create animation with Particle designer or other software. and save it as a gif.

2. Load your game/project or start new one in the Game Maker like in the image bellow

3. Click the right mouse button on the Rooms node and select Create Room. This is necessary because game can not work without a room.

4. When the window of the new room appears. Click the background tab and select color. We will use a black color in this tutorial.

5. You can select settings tab to change room speed. Room speed indicate how many frames Game Maker displays in one second so larger numbers means faster object movement and particles speed.

6. Right click on the Sprites node and select Create sprite

7. In the window that will appear select load sprite.

8. In the file selection window chose animation you created in step 1.

9. Click center and than OK

10. Click the right mouse button on Objects node and select Create Object.

11. In the window that will appear select sprite and than press OK button

12. In the room editor click objects tab and click area below tabs. Select your object there. and place it in the room by clicking in the grid area.

13. Well Done !!!. Finally you can press the green play button and see your particles !!!
