Hello! I see you to wants to look how the Game Hammer work ;)
This ain't a complicated software. Really, making the games in it is very simple. You don't need to buy full version, if you like ads. Game Hammer still all features in non-registered version. I think, time to began.
Click twice to GH icon. Then you see app window on whole desktop. This is tool which you make your first game. What you need in first step? Of course:
- Sprites (better lower than 100x100)
- Some background
Good, now you click Add Sprite. On list will appear: sprite0. Click this and press Load.
Select one of your files and press Save. Now you select Backgrounds
Add background -> background0 -> Load -> Save.
Now we just need only object Select object0 and in event STEP paste this code:
if (keyboard_check(vk_right)) { x+=4 }
if (keyboard_check(vk_left)) { x-=4 }
if (keyboard_check(vk_up)) { y-=4 }
if (keyboard_check(vk_down)) { y+=4 }
Click Save.
Now you just can press Make stand-alone *.exe. If everything is all right, you'll see your sprites move by keyboard.
