What GameSalad needs before going "live."

edited November -1 in Working with GS (Mac)
I know.. GS is already "live". I mean though, out of beta. I would love to have these features before GS goes out of beta (version 1.0.0)

Features: (In order of importance)

1) Pause
2) Snap-2-Grid with customizable size.
(Grid starts off at 16x16 but could be re-sized. Game Maker has this kind of grid)
3) In App Purchase.
4) iAd for express users. (But limit how many ads the user can insert. Maybe 2-4 ads per project?)
5) Core Data usage; Core Data is how Safari stores bookmarks. (I'm pretty sure)
6) Enable Status Bar. (GS is great for creating "normal", non-game apps, and those apps show the status bar at the top)

10,000) An actual "preview post" button for the forum. This would be awesome!

100,000,000) Pro account contest: A contest which users could have a chance to win a Pro account but only for six months.

Thanks GS!

    Would give my left nut for this! But not $2000...hehe

    Interesting...

    A lot of major universities buy left nuts for around 30k for research

    So you could technically give your left nut and still have around 28k left over

    (it's illegal to sell living organs in the US, AND currently impossible to transplant a testicle)

    I'm serious! I have (and only want) 2 kids, but my wife wants 6! This is the best way to justify getting snipped! ;-)

    I've changed this post 3 times before sending it. Personally I think your list would be more relevant post 1.0.0 release. It mostly comprises of what I would categorise as handy updates rather than necessities.

    I hate to say it but for 1.0.0 GS needs stability.

    Date & time.
    array, string edit.
    flip the image (mirror).
    on & off physic
    actor can physicaly attach to other(so we can have other shape)
    files access(maybe just photo, or music).
    Video Playback (simple to call the build in player, for the opening use)

    How about...

    1) Make actor collision field and actor image two different attributes. This is kind of why I stopped using GS. Unless your actors are circles or rectangles, your game is ugly/unplayable.

    2) Optimize timers. I recall a few months ago a number of us in the forums came up with some brilliant work arounds referencing game.time instead of using timers. We literally handed GS developers a great solution but timers still are a horrible CPU drain.

    2) Optimize timers. of us in the forumgame.time instead of using timers.

    1 I agree, that'd be very handy. I have something with triangular objects for example that'd look much better if the hit area were smaller ( even just a smaller rectangle) than a full sized bounding box, it would seem more realistic. Also would love to be able to set the rotation center within

    2 I don't understand two, but perhaps it will become more apparent as I learn more advanced coding

    I think it needs:

    1) What has already been said.
    2) Communication with iOS standard functions. E.g. access to the mic, music library, compass/gyroscope.
    3) Dynamic pivot points.
    4) Grouping of actors.
    5) Database functions

    Lol. Thanks for this post! I just saw I had more blue options at the bottom of each post, but didn't bother long enough to read them and see that the moderation system was in effect :p
