Do you want to create your own video games? We'll teach you video game design, programming, and animation using the free Gamemaker programming language. Already know Gamemaker? We'll work with you to write even better games. Regardless whether you are a beginner or a Gamemaker veteran who attended our camp last summer, we'll give you the direction you need as you unravel the mysteries of how games and other computer programs are written.

Here is a video of some games made with Gamemaker, the same gamemaking software we will use in the camp.
