thinking about making a utility app, not a game

Player_E

I was thinking about making an app that helps with cooking recipes. I know GS focus isnt for this kind of app, but wondering if people have gone down this route and done anything similar.

Im thinking it would use tables in order to keep track of the ingredients in order to spit our the recipe and cooking instructions.

Their have been many of non-game apps created with GameSalad. You could definitely create a cooking recipe app.

The plan is to make an app that lets the user input his ingredients, i.e. chicken, potatoes, carrots. Then the app will spit out a few recepie choices that the user can pick from and then see the cooking instructions

Im not very experienced with the tables in GS, but can i configure something so each row is a meal and each column of the row in an ingredient and the final two columns are the meal choice and instructions and have GS recognize that when the ingredients are chosen it prompts the user with the text from the meal choice and instructions cell on the table from the corresponding meal row

Yes.

Awesome, any tutorials or videos anyone has put together on tables that might be able to send me in the right direction?
