How to create a game that looks like an app?

redz

Firstly, i am very new to Gamesalad. I have been working with Android for a few months. Someone asked me to create an kiosk based app. I am planning to try it on GS. But i cannot figure out the ways to make it. The app must consists of few dragged pictures that were taken by cropping from a single picture of an institutions with many buildings and facilities. The cropped pictures must be able to overlap with other pictures so that it resembles the original picture. Once a building is touched, let say it is an electronic lab, the picture returns a glowing effect and moves to the next scene which has descriptions of that particular picture. Would you guys explain the steps to make it?

Hey @redz!
First I want to say welcome to the community! We here like to help out and don't mind but we like to know that you have done your part in doing research and not just joined and start asking questions. There are Tons of tutorials and templates to help you out. Just need to take the time to do so.

It is def possible to make apps using gamesalad and not just games. Just so you are aware, if you plan on publishing to iOS (Apple) you need a mac to do so and if you plan to publish to Android you must purchase the pro license! What you want done from your description can def be done but to explain the steps to do so would take too much to write out.

PLEASE take the time to learn the tool and how it works. Many people just jump in here and expect others in here who have taken the time to learn to basically make something for them. (NOT SAYING THAT'S WHAT YOUR DOING OR ARE YOUR INTENTIONS) If you find that it has become to difficult on somethings, we don't mind helping but 99% of the questions you will probably have has already been asked and answered. Just need to look and see. Google search for it, search through the forums, etc.

Hope this didn't seem to harsh cause that was def not my intentions! Again welcome and fill your brain up with knowledge!

Thanks for your response. I really appreciate it. I wish i could get at least some keywords to get into ideas to build the app because i can't figure out the method.
