game salad is not virtual scripting im pretty sure
if you dont understand after this then i dont know how to explain it all it is scripting but like game salad but you can do anything like scripting but it game salad has a limit
I don't think visual scripting will do anything to improve the power of GS. New features will still have to be coded by the GS team before anyone can do it in a game. This will be the same thing as GS is now except with a new style to code. This will not magically allow you to use AdMob or iPad 3 Retina Display.
Stick with what GS has now.
My 2 cents
Gamesalad is virtual scripting. Its putting together logic and code visually. Input nodes in uscript are rules in gamesalad. Compare bool(or variable) in uscript is a rule in gamesalad checking an attribute. Trigger events in uscript are rules checking for a collide in gamesalad. Key press filters in uscript are rules that check for a key press in gamesalad. Set variable in uscript is change attribute in gamesalad. Look at in uscript is rotate towards in gamesalad. Move to, Rotate, play sound, and all that stuff is the same and self explanatory.
Also in gamesalad if you make a rule and put a behavior in it and set it up with whatever you want, and drag it into your custom behavior you know have that as a preset behavior in that project.
So your not talking about virtual scripting. Your either referring to the ui look, which would be sockets(uscript) instead of behaviors in rules(gamesalad), or the fact you can write your own custom nodes in uscript threw script and add your own apis and such that arent included in the tool and sdk which has nothing to do with the virtual scripting part but the fact you want to be able to code in gamesalad and add in your own apis and everything.
