Apparently this lets you make web and iPhone games with no programming... I can't test it out as I'm still running 10.4, but it looks pretty cool. I can't wait to see the app store overrun with complete crap though, as now literally anyone can make an iPhone game.

I wouldn't use it (a program making a game for me seems like cheating) but this could be useful for prototyping or whatever.

woah, cool, though I can see the app store now being yoyogames.com.

Do they have a demo, I may check it out. Though I would like the customization of coding it myself and learning to code is much better in the long-run.

Well, the app store is too strict to be filled with junk. It'll only let very little bits through, though that publishing tool costs $99 annually to publish to the iPhone.

Most games that make other games without programming can only make a few games. (usually ones that are only good for playing once)
Programming is the foundation for games.
I must be dreaming (wake up me wake up) How could this have happened. Tireas' cry when he found his computer fallen over in his chair with it's screen shattered.

Spend a month learning Cocoa and you can do stuff way cooler than what GameSalad can do. =)
