LinkyA real good deal going on this week. Lowest tier is mostly games, but for $6 you can get GameMaker Studio Professional, plus more games and their source code that you can learn from! $12 gets you the Android export module from GM which normally goes for $300, plus even more game sources.
Tom Francis, creator of Gunpoint, made a real nice video series called
Make a Game With No Experience. It ignores the drag-and-drop stuff in GM and helps you learn to use the built in coding language.
For a couple bucks you could be making games this weekend.
