In this course, instructor Alan Thorn takes you through the process of building graphical user interfaces using GameMaker: Studio. We'll take a look at how to improve the graphical quality across all platforms – specifically how to create a GUI once that will work and display properly across any number of resolutions and devices. Not only will we discuss resolution and scaling, but we'll also cover the programming and scripting associated with addressing screen edges, centering, instances, and cascading transformations. If you've ever been interested in learning about building your GUI in GameMaker: Studio and having it look and function flawlessly – this is the course for you.
