Advanced Game Maker Topic 2 - Common Buttons

20 years ago
Okay. The first topic talks about the top 10 most annoying things found in games. Not much of a topic on how to make one but it adds some insight on what to do. Anyways, before you can make a game you need to create an account. It dosen't mater your age or anything else. Click logon and then register. Go through the steps and meet back here.

After that you can learn the interface of the site. The first things about the site you need to learn are the buttons above. Look above and you will see in the top left corner the words My Adventure Game . Com Click on it and you will be sent to the front page. Look at the dot. There is a crosshair on it. follow the red bar the extends to the right. You will see 4 buttons.

Play will take you to the games screen. You get to play any games published right now.

Create is a member only feature and will take you to your portfolio if I can call it that.

Chat takes you here. To the message board.

LogOn takes you to the log on/log off/registation area.

The new features on the site have effected what those buttons do. Mainly Log on. If you are logged on it will ask if you want to log off.

The next section is the 4 tabs above the words Forums > Newbie Central Anything can be below those 4 tabs, but no matter what they don't ever change position.

The first one is Games. This is the same as play.
The next is Forums and is the same as chat.
The third is the same as Create.
The fourth is different. If has a small faq and I hope that these topics make it into the help area.

Now look at the bottom of the page. There is a Who Is Online feature. The quest counter is in a way inacurate. Below that it shows which members are on. I asked for this feature to help Me in the forums. You may ignore it completly if you like.

Below that is 4 more sections.

These aren't very important though. The first 3 give factoids mainly. The 4th one is the one I am going to talk about. It is called Contact Us. You send an Email to Alex Papadomulis or Alexp on the site. He checks his mail often. You can also contact him in forums. You are done with this topic.

By now you are asking when are you going to learn how to use the advanced editor. Soon. You have to learn the basics of the site. The next section in the book is pictures. Then you get to learn how to get the game made. If you are a newb reading this, I will post everyday I am on.
