本书是David Guerineau所著，旨在教授读者如何使用GameSalad进行iOS游戏开发，适用于iPhone、iPad以及HTML5平台。GameSalad是一款流行的无编程游戏开发工具，它允许用户通过拖放界面和图形化逻辑来创建游戏，降低了游戏开发的入门门槛。
在《Learn GameSalad for iOS》中，作者将引导读者深入理解GameSalad的工作原理，涵盖以下几个关键知识点：
1. **GameSalad基础**：介绍GameSalad的用户界面，包括场景编辑器、行为库和角色管理，让读者了解如何在平台上构建游戏的基本框架。
2. **游戏设计与规划**：讲解游戏设计的基本原则，如何构思游戏概念，制定游戏规则，以及如何用GameSalad实现这些设计。
3. **游戏对象与行为**：详细介绍如何创建和定制游戏对象（如角色、道具等），并利用预定义的行为或自定义行为来控制它们的动作和交互。
4. **物理引擎和碰撞检测**：解释GameSalad中的物理引擎如何模拟现实世界中的重力、碰撞和其他物理效果，并指导如何设置和调整这些参数。
5. **动画与视觉效果**：讨论如何添加和管理动画，包括帧动画和过渡效果，以提升游戏视觉体验。
6. **音频集成**：教授如何导入和播放背景音乐、音效，以及如何实现声音的同步和触发。
7. **用户输入与控制**：说明如何响应用户的触摸和手势，设计玩家输入机制，使游戏更加互动。
8. **得分系统与游戏逻辑**：介绍如何实施计分系统、关卡解锁和游戏进度保存，构建游戏的逻辑结构。
9. **测试与调试**：讲解在GameSalad内置模拟器和真机设备上测试游戏的方法，以及如何定位和修复问题。
10. **发布与分发**：覆盖游戏的打包、提交App Store的过程，以及如何将游戏导出为HTML5版本，使其能在网页上运行。
11. **扩展与进阶**：探讨更高级的主题，如使用自定义代码扩展GameSalad的功能，或者与其他开发者协作。
此外，书中还可能包含实战项目，让读者通过实际操作来巩固所学知识，提升游戏开发技能。无论你是初学者还是有一定经验的游戏开发者，这本书都能提供宝贵的指导，帮助你快速掌握GameSalad并创建自己的iOS游戏。

Introduction
In
2007, Apple revolutionized
our
way
of
living
by
introducing
the
iPhone,
but
most
important
was
the
birth
of
iOS. Today, iOS is
used
in
the
iPhone, iPad,
and
iPod Touch. Via
the
App Store, a
new
business
model
has
emerged
that
offers
more
than
500,000 applications
and
games,
resulting
in
25 billion downloads. This
new
business
model
is a
huge
opportunity
for
game
entrepreneurs
and
hobbyists
as
there
are
more
than
100,000
games
in
the
App Store.
GameSalad is
on
a
mission
to
help
you
to
be
an
active
actor
in
this revolution.
GameSalad is a powerful,
graphical2D-game
development
engine for iOS. According
to
GameSalad,
more
than
3%
of
the
games
in
the
App Store are
created
with
the
GameSalad Creator,
its
development
tool. The Creator
has
been
downloaded
more
than
150,000 times since 2009.
The
power
of
GameSalad
comes
from
the
fact
that
no
programing
knowledge is
required. You
read
correctly:
NO
PROGRAMING
at
all!
You focus
on
your
game
logic,
and
via
an
intuitive
WYSIWYG
interface
you
design
your
games
with
a few drag
and
drop
actions. Forget
the
long
learning
curve
of
object-oriented
programing
(OOP)
and
Objective-C; this is
no
longer
required
with
GameSalad.
However, this
power
does
not
come
without
a few constrains. For instance,
you
can
only
develop 2D games. Also,
you
are
limited
to
a specified
set
of
features-important
ones
but
not
complete
compared
to
the
iOS
SDK.
Don't
worry-these
constrains still leave
you
with
an
infinite
number
of
games
to
create!
GameSalad
comes
in
two versions: free
and
pro. The free version is obviously free
of
charge,
whereas
the
pro
version costs 299USD
per
year. I cover
the
differences
between
these
two
versions
in
Chapter
1.
The
book
is divided
in
three
parts.
Part
1 provides
you
with
the
fundamental
skillset for
GameSalad.
Chapter
1 offers
step-by-step
tutorials for installing all
the
required
tools
on
your
computer
to
get
you
started
with
GameSalad.
In
Chapters 2
and
3,
you
design a fully functioning
and
classic game, Pong,
and
you
get familiar
with
scenes, actors, attributes,
and
behaviors. You
then
create a
new
version
of
Arkanoid
in
Chapter
4,
consolidating
your
skills
and
using
the
accelerometer
for
the
first time.
Chapter
5
concludes
the
first
part
of
the
book
as
you
remake
Space
Invader
and
add
new
tools
to
your
arsenal.
Part
2 spices things
up
with
more
complex features
and
projects
in
GameSalad.
In
Chapters
6
and
7,
you
create a fully functioning Angry Birds-like game,
learning
the
required
physics
and
creating a very
advanced
menu
system.
In
Chapter
8,
you
add
music
and
sounds
to
your
project
and
implement
a very powerful visual effect
with
a
labyrinth
game.
Part
3
completes
the
journey
by
bringing
your
game
to
the
Apple Store.
In
Chapter
9,
you
finish
the
Arkanoid-like
project
started
in
Chapter
4
by
polishing
it
in
Game
Center
and
adding
features.
Chapter
10
illustrates
some
non-game
apps
with
GameSalad. You also
learn
about
the
device clock features.
In
Chapter
11,
you
publish
your
game
on
the
App Store via a very detailed
step-by-step
tutorial.
Chapter
12
offers a
brief
introduction
to
game
promotion
in
Chapter
12.
You
learn
the
main
tactics
to
get
your
game
visibility so
that
it
can
potentially
be
the
next
big
hitter!
