(yawn)… GameSalad can offer whatever pricing plans it wants. The technology is still awful and the performance on par with syrup flowing down a gradual slope.

Not to mention their “refusal” to implement such things as “collision information sharing” (perhaps not a refusal, but certainly not a high priority like “Implement profit sharing because we’re going broke!”). I was once laughed off the GS forums for my demand for such basic interactivity. Let me provide a basic example, for those who don’t understand what I’m talking about:

Object 1: “GOOD_GUY”. Object 2: “BAD_GUY”. “GOOD_GUY” has 20 life points. “BAD_GUY” has 18 life points. In the simulation, those two objects collide…

Corona’s obvious and powerful solution:
Compare life points between objects. If one object has less than the other, it “loses” and is destroyed. Task accomplished, moving on!

GameSalad’s ridiculous, stupid, and un-reliable “solution”:

  1. Pass “Good_Guy” life points to some global variable.
  2. Pass “Bad_Guy” life points to another global variable.
  3. Compare those two global variables and do something.
  4. Hope and pray that you do not have TWO pairs of good guys or bad guys interacting at the exact same game time cycle! Because if you do, the global variable will be overwritten by others, completely throwing the entire scenario into chaos and breaking the game logic, possibly comparing the wrong good guy with the wrong bad guy.

So whatever… I might be too vocal about GameSalad’s incompetent nature, but it’s a junk SDK in my humble opinion. They can charge whatever they want, offer whatever “Pro” options they want, but GameSalad is like attempting to paint a masterpiece with 8 Crayola crayons.

I can’t think of one reason in the universe to give GameSalad another glance.
