    You need to first make a man (it can be a spider or maybe a cat, but also hens and fruit, like a banana or something).

    Once you have your man, put him inside GameSalad, you can do this by either throwing the man at GameSalad or if you can somehow get inside GameSalad (you can't, I've tried) then you might be able to reach out on to the 'desktop' and somehow 'pull' the man in.

    Once you have a man inside the GameSalad machine thing, give it some code, it doesn't really matter at this stage what code you use, it's all basically the same, although I'd probably try 'man code' first, if that doesn't work try 'electric' code or maths or sums or something.

    Then make some colour (I use brown).

    And give it to the hero/character/actor/man/banana or baby (did I mention you can use babies too ?).

    Ok, now you should have a brown baby so you need to give it a score, try 500 or 1,500, basically anything with 500 in it is pretty good, once it has the score 'on it' make it do something, I like to make things run or bounce, but you can also simply crush things, if you do decide to crush the brown baby you will need to make a brown crushing sound and also somehow get that into the GameSalad, I use nuts.

    The give it a name and make up a sound that you can use when you are telling people about it, I like to make the sound of a clay pipe gently tapping a soft boiled egg when I tell people about my projects.

    Hope that helps.

    Making games is a lot harder than taking a picture. You should understand that you'll need to put time and effort to learn how to use GameSalad. Your question looks silly, cause we can't explain how to use this software in a couple of sentences. That's why, there's books, tutorials, and video series on that matter.

    Hello @Oreganic

    Personally I'd recommend working through the official manual first, even before any video tutorials and the Cookbook

    http://gamesalad.com/manuals

    Like any piece of software it'll take time, just keep at it and - although there's a learning curve just like any other piece of software - hopefully it'll all fall into place eventually.
