edited November -1 in Working with GS (Mac)
Hey gang,
the other day, I decided to tweak a few of my graphics images and was prepared to spend a lot of time updating all the scene files which would have been a LOT of work!
But interestingly enough, all I had to do was drop the new artwork into the image assets window and by doing so, overwriting the existing file so here comes the GREAT part!
I did not have to restart GS and was able to preview the changes right away on my iPad!

How cool is that?

What is your favourite feature?

    Personally I like that GS has some pretty sophisticated behaviors that allow you to quite quickly throw together a concept. Seeing your ideas take life helps to motivate and keep a project moving forward (so you can get though the managing fps and memory use parts).

    Right up there is this community which I consider a 'feature' of GS!

    simo103,
    i agree, especially with your statement about the community!
    A few months ago, i wanted to hire a developer to recreate my Flash app as an apple app but could not afford the cost of $3000+
    At that time, I pretty much told myself to forget about apple apps and move on ....
    Then I found GS but didn't do anything for a while ... when I came back, there was the transition to 0.9 which was weird as there was a lot of negativity about the company etc ...

    Eventually, I fired up the program, dragged my images onto the stage but, to achieve certain functions, I needed help and AMAZINGLY, the community pitched in and answered pretty much everything I needed to know in order to recreate my Flash functions which I then could use to finish my app.
    John went the extra mile and provided step by step instructions which I still use in my current and next work.

    I really could have not finished without the help from the forum and now, that I need translation help, I didn't have to bother with other forums because it looks like I can find what I need right here.

    GS and it's user base rock!

    @Ktfright
    I was used thinking that too xD You don't know how much I would like gamesalad to have some "code yourself" behaviour now xD
    What I really like is that I do not have to make map editors myself, but I can just drop an actor on to the scene where I want it, visually.
    And the community here, is amazing :)
