Hey guys, I was curious as to how the games like Hanging with Friends and Words with Friends are made. Did they use a certain program or just code everything themselves. Also, is it possible to make an online game in GS? If not, how do people do that?

    Gamesalad currently doesnt have any kind of online multiplayer or server access. All that is coded in there games.

    But how do they make it so they can play online with other people?

    They have employees that actually got an education and studied the coding field for years and learnt how to do it.

    You'd have to make a game from scratch in a coding program such as straight through Xcode. Even if you knew how to do it, you wouldn't be able to incorporate it into the game salad interface yourself.

    But it'd be a great feature to have one day! I think it's far off, but I believe it would end up on the road map sooner or later. Probably later though ;)
