in Working with GS (Mac)
I was wondering if it possible to make ann app that helps learner drivers in manual cars (america its called stick i think) with stuff like , getting the bite and stuff

Id like to be able to make like realistic clutch, gears , accelerator , brakes and steering wheel

So have it like , if you dont add enough revs when moving off it stalls ?

I dont know if this is a stupid idea or if its to much but i would like everyones input :)

    The good thing about GameSalad is that it doesn't take very long to test ideas. Throw things together and see yourself if it works or would be helpful to others, and whether it's worth putting more time and effort into it.

    LOL, we call it Manual in the US also but Stick shift is nickname which I hardly hear anymore, anyway making a game that used all that would be easy but realistic in teaching someone to drive a manual transmission not sure about that.

    Its more to give them an idea of the best way to get the bit without having to test it in a car and continuously stall while trying the best way would it be posssible to make it realistic enough so say your in a car and you dont put enough bite( you push to far down on the clutch or pull to far up) the car stalls .

    I dont want it so its like you have to get it to a certain place and then your ok cause in a real car you can get the bite but still stall as your going off cause the revs are bellow 1000


    I want it to be like your in a car trying to pull off

    Also i was going to do stuff like practicing the 3 maneuver which are

    Turn in the road (3 point turn)

    Reversing left into a side street

    And reversing into a space behind another car

    Would this all be possible

    Also ino its possible to do but would it be possible to make it realistic not just do it ?

    The driving part would be easy there are plenty of games made with GS that do that but controlling the clutch,brake,stick and steering at same time while trying to park with two thumbs might pose a challenge for that matter even keyboard and mouse but just like KevinCross said just play around with GS and see what you come up with.
