My Two Suggestions

I would like to suggest two things:

1) For the networking, please add Facebook, Twitter, and possibly, MySpace; along with GameCenter and other Gaming Networks (OpenFient, etc)

2) iPhone Frameworks such as Camera, Geo location, etc.

    I agree with the first suggestion.

    I'm pretty sure that the second suggestion will never be implemented, as those are iPhone-only features. One of GameSalad's goals is to be as cross-platform as possible, and features like the gyroscope, compass, camera, and microphone are only in iPhones, not the iPods or iPads.

    I would love to play around with them too, but I don't see it happening.

    I like the first suggestion too, the second doesn't effect me really, but definitely FB and Twitter would be good :)

    Thanks for the "agrees".

    Well, for the second one, I think I found a solution:

    When the user clicks on "New Project", a screen with the following options (text and images):

    iPhone / iPod Touch
    iPad
    Droid
    Other Mobile Devices To Be Included
    Universal

    If the user selects the iPhone / iPod Touch option, then GS would enable the iOS frameworks. If the user selects "Universal", then GS disables all the OS-Dependent frameworks.

    Having Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace included would solve the issue of OS-Dependent Game Networks; as FB, MY, and Twitter are not OS-Dependent.

    These frameworks would be behaviors. Ex: The "Tweet Score" Behavior would execute the the twitter code, and so fourth.

    Thanks again.
