CS 1107 Assignment: Spreadsheet Related to Topic

I spent the week racking my brain for possible implementations of my topic in a spreadsheet format, only coming up with the solution when the deadline was fast approaching. The end result is this, a summary of all the resources behind the games you can make with the aid of the Game Maker's Apprentice book.

A few chapter numbers are missing; this is because these chapters revolve around philosophies regarding level design and coding, the resources for which are used to tweak projects from previous chapters. Still, this is interesting; the ideal demonstration of a video/computer game, as created by the Game Maker's Apprentice, has 18 graphical assets (sprites, backgrounds, and icons) and around 6 sounds (mp3s, midis, and waveforms). With the development time of each game in the book looking to be close to 1 to 3 hours with prefabricated graphical assets, I can easily see creating a completely original working equivalent in a day or two, once I've grown experienced enough.
