Game+Maker+Activity+Three

__**Quiz Time **__ A game is NOT a movie; a toy; a drawing; a puzzle. Every game should have a purpose and a clearly defined goal. A game needs a player who has control of the game and makes decisions. Click here to take the quiz. Report your score when you are done.

It is time to choose the resources that you will be using in your game.
 * __Sprites, Backgrounds, Sound Effects and Music Tracks __**
 * Open Game Maker and create a sprite.
 * Go to the gallery and choose the sprite which fits your game best. When you have chosen, save it.
 * Load the sprite image, name the sprite and save it.
 * Repeat this process for all sprites, backgrounds, sound effects and music tracks that you need.

Now that you have your resources you need to plan what they are going to do. For this we use events and actions.
 * __Action and Events __**

Events are things that happen (the cause) Actions are taken by objects when an event happens (the effect)

Some examples of this that we did last lesson are:
 * If a ball is created  then <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; line-height: 1.5;">start moving in any direction
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; line-height: 1.5;">If a ball <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; line-height: 1.5;">collides <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; line-height: 1.5;"> with the wall then <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; line-height: 1.5;">bounce

<span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Write some if statements for your game.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">What actions happen in your game and what are the events that cause them? <span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Write ALL of the if statements for your game. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Remember to think about the following action types that might happen:
 * __<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Final Pieces __**
 * Movement
 * Score
 * Sounds
 * End of game
