YOYO Games- GameMaker

YOYO Games is a website/application that helps build different types of games. It starts with a concept someone has for a game and creates a finished game. This tool can be used as a STEM resource as well. There are two different ways that students are able to create a game. The first way to create a game is called DnD, also known as, Drag and Drop. This allows students the ability to create a game before having to code. It's easy to understand and allows students to experiment with different functionalities. The other way to create a game on YOYO Games is by GML, which is GameMaker Language. This way is powerful and contains script language that is easy to learn. GameMaker Language gives everything that is needed to make the games high quality and based on the C programming languages. Students will be able to create games that are STEM-related and/or contain STEM-themed games. On this website is a game called "Blackhole Hazard" which centers around the main character Dr. Albert Armstrong and shows various ways that various physical properties and reactions happen in cosmic spaces. 

I think this resource will be helpful in many ways. It can be used for students to make their own games in ways that will help them learn more about the topic they are learning. Another way this source can be used is by teachers. Teachers can make games that will help students comprehend subjects in fun interactive simulations. The games are easy and fun to make they would just need time and effort to be made.
