Setting Up GameSalad
Do you have an amazing idea for a game? Do you want to create the next
Super
Mario
,
Portal
, or
Half-Life
? (The gaming community could probably release the
third instalment of Half-Life sooner than Valve, but hey! I joke.)
But
wait
! I know what you're thinking, "Man! I have no idea how to do any of that
fancy fandangled coding." That's why you've come to the right place! I'm going
to guide you through a fantastic program called GameSalad. What is GameSalad
you ask? It's a great studio for creating multi-platform, super powerful games, and
requires no coding! Everything is behavior based, but we'll get into that a little later.
In this chapter, we are going to look at some of the following:
•
