- B. Pop quiz —Answers
The following are necessary for designing a game in GameSalad:
- You will need an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard or higher.
- GameSalad Creator with a registered account, free or paid (either is okay for development, it is not mandatory to have a paid account. We will discuss this in the book).
- A registered Apple Developer account (we will discuss in this book).
- Internet access (for getting images, deploying your app, and so on).
- An imaging program: Gimp, Pixelmator, Photoshop, or any equivalent.
- Optional: 3D Modeling tools, such as 3DS Max, Maya, or Blender3D.
- Optional: A graphics tablet that will make it much easier to draw sprites.
