Gamesalad, Xcode, What Else Is There?

Grace252525

I was working with Gamesalad but now I need a new software. I need features that Gamesalad currently doesn't offer, such as being able to import photos from the IOS device's photo library/ camera roll. I downloaded Xcode, I like the layout (looks and appearance wise) but there's too much coding for me. Apparently I don't know how to code , can someone help suggest a new programming software for me. It needs to be easy, free or very cheap, no coding, and preferably have a nice appearance. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

Thanks,

Good luck with that. Don't think there is any that are free, easy or cheap other then Xcode and gamesalad.

This is like going to a honda dealership and asking if there are any other cars besides honda or Mercedes.

This is the only sdk that is no coding as far as I know. Everything else has a more substantial learning curve. If you want device level functions, your going to have to learn how to code... And spend some money for a license if you don't use Xcode.

I guess I need to learn coding than and use Xcode (

I'm only 12 and haven't even published my first app yet. Does anyone know a book or website or something that will teach me how to code?

There is always Lua. )

Not many non coding options which is why gamesalad is so popular.

Is this for a game or for an app?

I would highly suggest Livecode by RunRev
It does require coding, however I find it very simple and intuitive.
For example, coding a button to beep and turn red would look like this:
On mousedown
change the color of me to red
beep
end mousedown

They recently went open source, however, in order to publish on the app store, you will have to buy the developer version. It contains the same features as the open source version, just grants publishing rights.
