It's fair to say that Mac tutorials and templates largely outnumber Windows ones, but more and more Windows tutorials (and templates) are becoming available.
I guess technically you can make a game without code but in 99.9% of the cases that's a lie. You'd need at least minimal code to make things work. Brings up an interesting idea. Who can make the best game without using any code.
Let's get the terminology straight. Code is a formal computer language like JavaScript or C++. What you have in GS is a GUI window into code. What you do with GS is called logic programing. Logic is the organizing and arranging events and variables in a proper order that is linear or logical. Logic is also applied in coding as well. Understanding logic can take time, especially understanding how to write good logic free of conflicts. Think about logic as laying out road ways. You need to plan your logic layout or when you come to the points where logic intersects if you don't plan it out you'll have a 20 car pileup, which is a crash. Poor or bloated logic will result in slow performance. Most of the optimization techniques are more fine tuning than magic results in performance. Great performance only comes through refined and frugal logic not tricks. I've been doing logic programing for decades and I rarely use many of the so called optimization techniques and my games run at 58-60 FPS. Focus on refined logic and your games will run better.
