For those of us who know objective-c....

Just thinking, game salad should add an "open source" license that allows you to view your code/gives you an Xcode project. I think it would be nice to learn from and know WHAT your app really looks like.

    Ya I've always thought that too...but then it would nullify GS bc we could just take the source code and compile/publish with xcode

    If you know objective-c, do you really even need to be using GS?

    I know several programming languages and GS is a great tool to prototype and take off 90% of the work needed to code a game from scratch.

    yes, because GS is way faster then coding

    I for one know objective-c, well enough to understand and write a lot of it, but not well enough to build a game as complex as those in GS (physics, scrolling, etc). I would love to see how a GS game is coded. I have learned many things from GS, that I can eventually apply to my objective-c programming, such as how to use magnitude and distance related functions, ceil, floor, how to use randomness. GS has developed my thinking as a programmer. Right now, I am fine using GS as my game making program because of its speed, but eventually, I will need to know how to code it all out. Hopefully someday I can see what the the code for my games looks like...
