vba is pretty fun. I could see it being a huge thing in making powerpoint games. Though I think the idea of a powerpoint game is to make it simple. VBA and macros depending on the version could make a powerpoint game unplayable. I remember trying to make a microsoft word game with vba for ludum dare with ms word 2010 and it was unplayable because people using more modern and supported versions had problems; maybe it was the settings or the syntax- I wasn't too sure
@@microdavid7098 Ah, you're correct. I haven't accounted for compatibility issues and settings when using a different version of Office. I've also experienced that at some point. It's for sure a pain to realize that something you've worked on doesn't work on other people's systems.
@@cgplays9 It's kinda fun if you have a general knowledge of what to do with it. It's also pretty practical outside of using it for that purpose (like automating specific tasks within the program). It's understandable that you don't find it fun, though.

As a kid, I made an entire "impossible quiz" type game way back when that game was still popular. I used hyperlinks and buttons to do this. I unfortunately lost the file 9 years ago, and I don't have it anymore but I basically copied a ton of mechanics and levels from that game and put it into Microsoft PowerPoint as a game that literally only me and my friends would play. It was a ton of fun. Man, I'm honestly impressed at how motivated kid me was to create a 50 level quiz game on a PPT.
Wow nice! I did something similar for a school project, we were doing a project about animal classifications, so i could click the domain i want and then it would show me the phylums in the domain. I got a pretty good grade on it i think

you should've added a huge rectangle as a background and assigned a no-op action to it on click. Otherwise you can skip through slides by just clicking on the background/any non-interactive stuff
...or set up the slide show to be "Browsed at a kiosk". That setting can be found in the Slide Show tab. It does not allow the user to interact with the slide (even with a keyboard), except for Action buttons.
My brother tried to make a turn-based RPG battle using power point. He was super close to finishing it, but power point broke down because he pushed it to the limit.
There’s a programming language in PowerPoint and you can tie the functions to shape actions. Through code, you can modify shape attributes, such as color, position, animations, and more. There’s a problem tough... the language in question is VBA.
I made one of those cursor-maze games back in high school. You can set objects to automatically jump to a certain slide when moused over, so I made a game with walls, goals, and there were even animated objects the player had to avoid.
I used to make a ton of google slides games in school when I was younger. It was fun, but sucked when the project was due and the game was all I had to present.
if you ever do this again (maybe by using google slides instead, since it's severely more limited) here's a tip: you can make some pretty good point-and-click adventure games with both powerpoint and google slides.
I used to do stuff like this all the time as a kid 😂 it's actually what got me into games design originally. I would spend hours making point and click adventures, collecting keys to open doors and stuff. I would quite offton hit like 1000 slides haha. And maze games where always fun to make too. Back In PowerPoint 2003 this was 😂 Love the video! Definitely brought back some nostalgia for me 😊👍
My brother and I made a lot of games for eachother in powerpoint when we were kids, I can't believe I finally found a video of someone doing something similar! Most of the games we made were either RPGs or quick time event games
yoooo I used to make Powerpoint games back in high school! I remember a particularly ambitious one I made that was a first-person point & click exploration game, complete with simple puzzles. I don't remember a ton of specifics other than that it had some trippy environments towards the end but I was pretty dang proud of it.
Reminds me of the "Escape The Powerpoint of Doom" games I made in highschool. You can make full blown boss battles, if you spend enough time on it, and have rather complex puzzles, due to the way you can cause different animations to activate, by clicking on a piece of clip art, and just keep all unused assets off screen, until you need them, and use animation paths to bring them onto the slide.
Wait so this wasn’t an assignment in tech class for all schools? I made a maze game with multiple levels and difficulties for a project No it wasn’t good
Y'know my friend and I recently attempted to make an RPG in Google Sheets, but I had never thought of using Powerpoint as a game engine. This is a really cool idea and it is why I'm subbing now. (That and the hexagon with circular hands)
Making silly things in Powerpoint was always great fun, especially as ways you can play games with your friends by circumventing the school computer restrictions with powerpoint. But if you're new to coding and decide to do this, for the love of God try some actual programming languages too, or else you can get stuck making these things for a very long time
I remember when i made hangman using macros for school (visual basic for applications) beacuse PowerPoint was only program that ran on teacher's computer. Overyone love it so i made a ton of games. I was suprised how easy was that.
I used to make those in class all the time and then send it to everyone in my class while we were doing work. Never got caught and people had a lot of fun
back when I was living in a remote village with no internet, i was making mazes and hidden object games in powerpoint. when i got hold of ROBLOX Studio (at that time it was usable offline), i went from using shapes for art to in-engine screenshots for every scene. i had fun making a prison escape game with it
Dude I’ve been making really high quality story or point and click games but on Google slides, and it for some reason works so well, but it can get a little buggy at times but it works and it’s basically what i’m using until I really learn how to code and make fun games, Google slides is the best first step at making games I guess… 😅
BRO OMG LOL I thought I was the only one who did this!! In middle school I made a whole video game SAGA in PowerPoint for my little brother and he would always beg for the next installment. 😹 It was space themed and I planned out the storyline really detailed cuz I wanted to be a writer at the time. I always made it educational to help teach him things--good times. 😭✋🏽
Back in 5th grade, a friend of mine used google slides or PowerPoint to create their very own computer startup software model. Files, images, you name it. Surprised they didn’t further pursue that interest.
The first year of using PowerPoint I impressed my computer applications teacher with my creations on it and then decided to make video games! Since then I joined fbla and my computer applications teacher actually does all of the stuff for fbla in our school which was very funny. I won 4th place in Missouri in a video game competition for fbla and made it to nationals! I did not place in nationals but it was awesome because I got to go to Chicago! I live on a farm so I am never normally in a city as big as Chicago.

This actually makes sense considering in school sometimes the teacher would add mini games on PowerPoint.
Fun fact: I make games in Google slides with like 100+ slides. (It's definitely not like a full on game like PowerPoint but I do make good projects.)
