Importing Mass number of words into Game Salad

briancombined

Hi I am completely new to gamesalad and have a number of questions. Not sure whether to split the questions or plug it all down at once. Would just need some direction and if it is at all possible.

1). Is there a Tetris style template that I can download somewhere on here?

2). Is there a way that the blocks can be replaced with a string of letters and that these words can come from a list?

3). I’m fairly proficient at excel and have a list of thousands of words and would like to import this list into gamesalad and have it to randomly choose from this list based on a criteria of for example character length that moves it up to the next level?. Is this concept at all possible within gamesalad and if so can someone direct me the right path so I can test it out?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
B

There are Tetris templates available - do a google search and they should show up. Now that we have custom collisions it will be much easier!

Yes, these blocks can be letters. They can come from your excel list via tables in GS.

Yes, you can import your excel file into GameSalad to create a table. You can also search through the table with certain conditions.

I'd recommend familiarizing yourself with GameSalad and especially tables before attempting something like this though. There a tons of video tutorials on gshelper.com - that's a good place to start.
