A game a week for a year

In this blog I am going to document my attempt to create a game a week for one year. The main systems I will be using, at the start at least, will be GameMaker (because I will be teaching it soon) and Flash CS4 ('cause I like it).

For my first game I am gonna go for a basic shooter. A very basic shooter. I want to learn that basics of creating the structure of a game. There is a guide on how to do this on one of my favourite blogs created by Emanuele Feronato. This is the first in the series.



I reckon I will also begin with one of the patterns emanuele found here.

Since I will be concentrating on getting the basic code structure into place, I will use some of the crazy Cactus design philosophy.
