[edit] Coming up in the next, more advanced GE tutorial...

This tutorial has focused on introducing new users to the basics of the GE, in as straight forward a way as possible.

The next GE tutorial is in progress, which will cover the following ( more complex ) tasks. ////I think the details for this these tutorials are based on an older version. Can still follow but there were bits i had to figure out myself.

• Applying more than one material to the same object
• Texturing objects
• Using cameras to track the player
• Extrude faces in a mesh to make simple maze
• Adding various gameplay elements, such as moving platforms ( using IPOs ) and pickups
• Losing and winning the game
• Creating title screens
• Creating multiple levels ( by linking objects across scenes )

Basic Python scripting for the GE will also be covered.

Until then, keep improving your skills with both Blender and the GE!
