New user, few suggestions
Hello,
I am a es user. I have jumped from SDK to SDK as my main one. GS looks awsome and great to make my games in. Some like Codea for iPad, BlitzMax, Monkey Coder, Gideros Mobile, Phone Gap, Game Maker, etc. It just they all are not close perfect in some way... I don't know why I seriously looked into GS before. But there are a few suggestions. I didn't want to limit it to 5 and have a short description, so I created another post. Here we go:
1. Native UI elements - GS isn't only for games... Just wait and see...
2. Custom Lua scripting - I know your moving away from Lua, but sometimes I like to go back to hard code coding... GS could detect all the tables made by the custom code and put them in the code section
3. Multi object selection - Drives me crazy only being able to select one object...
4. Objects can draw shapes - Like draw a square/circle with the border thinkness and fill options... That includes gradients also please...
5. Web management stuff - So we can do things like `http.get()` or SQLite stuff...
6. Object smart guides and snap to grid - When Ning objects, add the option to have the object snap to the grid or snap to another object if it's on it's border, next to the object, or below the object.
7. Lion versioning - Really helpful for developing...
8. Lion fullscreen option - I prefer editing in fullscreen, or just alter GS to work it Maximizer.
9. CFXR integration - Integrate CFXR so we can play sound effects
10. Allow 3rd party plugins
11. Custom notifications (iOS only) - Allow having a popup window appear with options to do something
12. Custom app badges - Add a badge to the app when something happens
13. Custom fonts
14. Game Salad editor for iPad - Haha. Just dreaming... Good luck getting that one past Apple... Maybe it only runs HTML 5 and is sent to a local server that you can view off a local website on it... Never mind... Just throwing around ideas.
15. Photo request and camera support - Just allow asking for a photo so you can set an actors photo or get support from the camera
16. 3D support - Please don't laugh at me, but this would be so awesome. It's in many other languages...
17. For...Next loops - So we can do a list of things...
18. Mobile phone keyboard support - I don't think this is possible
18. Keep doing your awesome stuff...
That may be a very long list, but trust me, GS is probably the best game maker that I've seen that is still very capable. Please do take these things into consideration.
Thanks!
