GAME MAKER
==========
version 5.2

written by Mark Overmars

Writing computer games normally is a lot of work
and requires skill in programming. So wouldn't it
be nice if you could make your own games in an
easy way? GAME MAKER was written to do just that.
It allows you to make all sorts of 2-dimensional
games using some simple clicking and drag-and-drop
with your mouse. But even though it is simple to use,
GAME MAKER allows you to make appealing games, with
animated graphics, backgrounds, sounds, etc. And
with its built-in programming language the
possibilities are infinite.

GAME MAKER comes with a collection of freeware
images and sounds to get you started. Also there
are a number of example games, in particular
versions of popular games like Pacman and 1945.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-------------------
A modern PC (Pentium or higher) running Windows'98,
ME, XP, NT4 or 2000 is required. After installation
the program uses about 10 MB disk space. The program
requires at least 65000 colors (high color, 16-bit).
It requires at least 800x600 screen resolution.
DirectX 5 or higher is required (not included).

INSTALLING THE PROGRAM
----------------------
To install GAME MAKER simply run gmaker.exe.
Installation creates an entry in the Start menu from
which you can run the program or read the documentation.
You can uninstall the program in the Configuation panel.

If you are currently using version 3 or 4 of GAME MAKER,
this version will remain available and can be used for
your old games. If you use version 5.0 or 5.1 you better
uninstall it first. Version 5.2 is fully compatible
with version 5.1 but cannot read games created with
version 4 or earlier. (A conversion program for
version 4 games is available from the website.)
