GameSalad Recognizing identical images-1 is made up of overlapping images

Dear Gamesalad Community,
I (a 15 year old) have been inspired by TShirtBooth's games and videos so I have started to make a new game. I wish to make a game where you need to make a object to match the picture supplied. However, is it is possible for game salad to recognize two different pictures (which are identical) where 1 of them has multiple object on them?

If this is not clear, imagine you need to make a football, but all the stuff and patterns are on the football need to be dragged on. If done correctly, the football you made will be identical to the football picture supplied.

I really would be grateful if someone could help.

What attributes would I need for this to work?

Cheers,
Samir

    As @tenrdrmer said, GameSalad is not capable in doing that as there is no good purpose except for that type of game you are envisioning.

    As for the logic, you would have to use positions and integer attributes of objects to check the order. I am not going to just make the game for you, so you will have to try to figure it out here. Also, just because you are 15 doesn't mean people will all of a sudden want to help you (I am 2 years younger than you, and I don't expect people to treat me any different)...

    Sorry if I interpreted that the wrong way.

    Have worked with GameSalad before? Because this might be a tricky first project.

    If you haven't worked with GameSalad that much before, I would start with messing around with the templates to get a feel for it.

    Additionally, please don't create new threads for the same question...

    Thanks for your response.
    Sorry, I won't create another thread and yes I have played around with gamesalad for some time now. May be a simpler project would be: How can gamesalad recognize my dragging objects in a certain order?

    It wouldn't work if it was a integer attribute as doing it in the wrong order may result in the same answer?

    however won't it be simpler for gamesalad to recognize to of the same pictures as have to make boolean attributes and integer's would take a long time + I don't mind if it is complex. Anyways thanks for you input, and what is to come.

    no GameSalad has nothing prebuilt to analyze images. But you can, using logic and programing within the creator make something that will check to see if the right pieces are in the right place. you will have to create the logic though. If You dont feel you can do that, then you need to start like everyone else and learn how to use the tool. So when you decide you are ready to make your project you are fully capable in doing so.
