Windows Creator Walkthrough
Getting Started
System Requirements
Windows 7 or Windows Vista
Intro
GameSalad Creator is a 2D object oriented tool that allows you to create completely original games
using a drag and drop interface, enabling you (the user) to create applications for iOS, Android,
HTML5, and even for the Mac Platform without typing a single line of code!
This is possible by using Creatorʼs unique design and powerful features to turn logic and assets into
finished high-quality products. For our purposes, ‘logic’ refers to the combination of Rules, Behav-
iors, and Attributes that jointly define how a project operates, and ‘assets’ are the images and
sounds imported into your project.
Over the next several pages we’ll cover what to do first, as well as some essential background infor-
mation, so you can begin to experiment and create on your own. Before that, you’ll need to download
the GameSalad Creator itself.
To download Creator for Windows, head over to http://gamesalad.com/get-windows-creator to get
the most recent version. Afterwards, just install it and you’re good to go!
First Look
Whether this is your first time using the GameSalad Creator or youʼre a long-time user of the Mac
Creator, as soon as you run the Windows Creator youʼll be presented with the following screen where
youʼll see numerous buttons, fields, and tabs.
Tip: Currently, Windows Creator supports Android and HTML5 publishing while Mac Creator supports iOS,
Android, HTML5, and Mac Platform. A single Professional GameSalad Membership subscription for Windows
and Mac is required for Android publishing.
Tip: Though you will be able to download and use the Creator without registering for a GameSalad account, you
will not be able to publish without logging in. We highly recommend going ahead and taking the time to register
at this point in the process, if you haven’t already created an account.
