    Hm...?
    I can't even find their website again, there are too many things called Jango and DJango. ;)

    Edit: @lycettebros - Jango requires coding right? Isn't it hook in to XCode? Sorry, it's been awhile.

    @SnapFireStudios
    It is a spinoff of JSON coding I believe. I am no expert. I was originally interested in their proposal to make a thing called GSBOT...

    ...it sounded fascinating although probably broke the TOS. It morphed into Jangoengine.

    @lycettebros - I remember GSBot, we were talking about that a month or two ago.

    They weren't breaking the TOS because the GS team was actually in on it. Unfortunately they didn't keep it updated, but apparently it did work at one point.

    Yeah we did.
    Oh GS was in on it. Wow interesting...it is pity it died, I was very curious to see it.

    "GS was in on it" just means that it was approved for development, not that GameSalad Inc. had any connection to it. And GSBot was a very interesting idea but as far as I know it never reached a useable stage.

    Well it is out. It looks very garage but I guess you have to start somewhere.

    I believe this is what the youngsters call a face palm:

    "Physics, Einstein would be proud"

    I'm sure that deserves an "Of" after it...

    The whole site just looks so dark and dingy, and with basic spelling and grammar mistakes like this, it's an instant turn off.

    They deserve credit for their commitment.
    I have learned not to judge based on spelling and grammar anymore. The world has changed.

    If they don't do an open source version and call it "Jango Unchained" then the world is a horrible place.

    @iCreationZ
    You're both wrong!
    Proper grammar is "would have"! ;)

    EDIT-
    Wait, you could've been right. Did you mean the 'of' at the end of the sentence? In that case you're right! :P

    "Physics, Einstein would have be proud." ?

    Really !? 8-X :D


    It should really be:
    "Him man Heinstein, him have be proud on this phsics".
  • ChakkuChakku Member Posts: 1,513
    Ideally, it should be 'Physics Einstein would have been proud of" :D
    (I initially misunderstood what he meant by te 'of' and thought he was saying 'would of' rather than 'would have')

    Einstein? what the dog out of BTTF got to do with it?

    Poor Jango, everyone has forgotten about their software as we busily parse the line about 'Einstein', lol :)

    Grammatically "Physics, Einstein would be proud." works fine.
    It's saying: 'Look, we've included physics (and by the way, Einstein would, if alive, be proud that we've included physics).

    Whereas: "Physics Einstein would have been proud of." is saying:
    "Look, we've included physics (and it's the type of physics Einstein would have been proud of).

    Personally I've would have gone with:

    "Yeah!! Boxy, boxy ball bounce !!!"
  • iCreationZiCreationZ Member Posts: 158
    They really should have put a little more effort into their site, because its so distracting! I haven't the foggiest what "Jango" is!

    Isn't that the film that had Johnny Depp in it playing an animated cowboy lizard?
  • GraphicWarehouseGraphicWarehouse Member Posts: 927
    @iCreationZ I think that is Rango but I could be wrong.

    @Everybody

    "Physics, Einstein would be proud." This is grammatically correct, They list "Physics" as a feature and then say "Einstein would be proud" referring to Einstein being proud if he could see their Physics engine. Yes, "Physics Einstein would be proud of" might be easier to understand but they include a comma separating the two parts of the sentence therefore making it appropriate since they are listing features. :D

    On a side note, I think Jango is something I will use in the future because of it's native engine, easy code, api's, and I only publish to ios. It would even be free for me to use. Also a step up from xcode when something isn't possible in GS.

    Sounds like a good software to get with all these errors I'm reading :P

    In the words of Yoda: Of Physics, would be proud Einstein.

    P.S. Or.. something like that. ;)

    No, Yoda would say "Of Physics, Einstein proud would be!" ;)
