[|Schoolgamemaker] Learning objects based on the idea that multiple representations of a concept help understanding. They can be just run as simulations or can be modified and experimented with by changing the source code. Putting it more simply, you can "look at the engine and kick the tyres". Programmed in Gamemaker for two reasons:
 * 1) Gamemaker is well suited to graphical representations of moving objects
 * 2) It is an easy language for students to master via game creation
