Planning, HUDs, and Spawners in GameMaker (Coursera)

This course assumes you have the prerequisite knowledge from the previous courses in the specialization. You should make sure you have that knowledge, either by taking those previous courses or from personal experience, before tackling this course. Throughout this course you'll continue building your foundational GameMaker knowledge by exploring more GameMaker and game development topics.

Module 1: Learn how to have NPCs plan their actions

Module 2: Learn how to add HUDs (Heads-Up Displays) to your games

Module 3: Learn how to implement spawners in your games

Module 4: Learn how to implement a menu system

* I do have Coursera Specializations called C# Programming for Unity Game Development and C++ Programming for Unreal Game Development for those more advanced topics.

This course is part of the Game Development with GameMaker Specialization.
