This document provides instruction for a GameMaker tutorial on adding views to control what parts of game levels are visible. It explains that views determine what the player can see and discusses reasons for limiting or expanding views, such as building tension or showing objectives. Learners are instructed to add a view system to their game rooms that follows an avatar and can be resized, then improve sprite animations if finished. Playtesting each other's games is recommended to provide feedback.
