Game - Exit/Quit

kiss3d@yahoo.com

Hello,

Under my game using GameSalad, I create menu for "Do you like to quite/exit? (option: Cancel/OK)".
Question: Which "Behaviors (Role)" should I use to quite the game and close the window?

I appreciate your advice.

By quit, you mean closing the App? I'm pretty sure iOS apps do not work that way ie. you are not allowed to close/kill/minimize the app through the app itself.

If by Exit you mean returning to a previous scene such as the Main Menu scene, then you simply use the Change Scene behavior

@TheGabfather You aren't supposed to kill the app in any way but I've seen at least 50 popular apps that have a kill button. WWF is one of them... Technically you could spawn so many actors that it crashes the game...

@Utveckla_Games yes that has been suggested a couple of times, but.. I just can't get myself to do it ) it defeats the purpose of studying good programming practice.

@TheGabfather ) Haha I agree. But it would be cool to see if someone could do it.

I guess I was not clear on my question.

For example, I am playing 'Angry Bird' under my iMac computer. The program have a 'Button' when I click on it display 'Are you sure you want to quit?'. I click 'Yes', the window for the program gets close.

How could I do the same idea using 'GameSalad'.

Thank you for your help,
April

this does not exist in gamesalad right now.

Why can't you click the little red X in the top left corner?

TheGabfather

Ah. I'm curious to know what platform you are developing for

In any case however, yes it is not possible with GS.

Just make something that spawns a million actors XD
That'll crash stop it real quick, but you may have varied results with apple approving an app that is meant to crash stop at the push of a button :P

I don't get it. How should I close Full Screen Mac game, made in GS?

spawn so many actors that the game will crash and the user thinks it has closed.
