games to iOS?  Ooooh.  Well, this is something to pursue in programming alongside Pixelate.  So, do you have a link to the website?

Wow, I made this post and forgot the link! Ahh, I going crazy! Here it is: www.stencyl.com

It does look interesting.  Can you actually play the games on iOS though, or do you need that stupid apple being too rich to allow people to code iOS games for free so they have to charge like $200 a year developer thing?

If you have a Mac, you can test the games you make in the iOS simulator without paying anything. If you want to test on the device, you do need to pay Apple $100 for the developer account.

Can you make mods in stencyl...
Does it have innaproprate stuff...
Like bad words...

I don't believe Stencyl is open-source so you can not make mods of it.
It has no inappropriate stuff at all as far as I know. I see almost no bad words or anything mean said around the Stencyl website. It is all very friendly.

you pay like 100 bucks coolhogs.  not worth it at all imo.  rich snobby companies naturally have to make stuff overly expensive.

Hello Scratch, it is Dom818 (I haven't posting anything in ages),

If you don't know, I left Scratch (because I had mastered it) and went looking for a more powerful programming language; the problem was, I wanted a language that was similar to Scratch. After some searching, I stumbled across Stencyl. It is a powerful game (or anything) development tool which uses the same block style coding as Scratch. Stencyl is a little bit different than Scratch and it takes some getting used to but it is easy as soon as you understand it. Stencyl has the ability to publish games to Flash, iOS, Chrome Web Store, and desktop apps (Windows, Mac, Linux). They will also soon be supporting Android and HTML5.

The Stencyl Team is just about to release Stencyl 2.0 which makes the whole program easier to use and adds more functionality. I recommend anyone who feels they have mastered Scratch should check this out or give it a try. The forums over at Stencyl are equally as helpful and friendly as they are here, too.

Here is a link to their website: www.stencyl.com

If anyone has any questions about Stencyl, I would be happy to answer them. 

Some Stencyl Facts:
•It is a 2D engine just like Scratch
•It features Box2D physics
•Some Core and New Features:
-Design Mode- The visual designer for Stencyl. It mimics Scratchs block interface. (There is also a Code Mode where you can actually type the code you want)
-Event System- Events are essentially a cause and effect, when A happens, do B. So if A is one sprite colliding with another, it will run the blocks below it.
-Block Compatibility Chooser- This allows  you to click a dropdown menu on a block and another menu will show you all of the blocks that will fit.
-Behavior Library- These are pre-built logic you can attach to sprites to get the desired effect. Examples include different kinds of motion, animation, etc.

this "stencyl" is sounding so great it's making my mouth water! either that or my oatmeal cookie    ill check it out!

edit 2:
WHAT THE FREAK!?!? they have a comment block????....does scratch even ALOW making blocks look like that in stencyl?
what the? it looks sooo awsome!

That is true, but you can easily get the money back if you release a few good apps to the App Store. And the program itself is free, you can make and publish Flash games using Stencyl without paying a dime. The splash screen of your game will just show a Stencyl logo while the game loads.

In order to do anything with it you need to pay 100 bucks a year. Too much money--GameMaker and GameSalad are far better.

The $100 is for iOS publishing, you can make and publish Flash games with Stencyl for free. And just for reference, Gamemaker is $99 for desktop publishing plus and extra $200 for any other platforms and GameSalad is $299 dollars. Where exactly do you see Stencyl costing more?

GameMaker is $45.00 for desktop publishing.

With stencylworks, any flash game you make is given a stencylworks logo with a bunch of annoying stencylworks watermarks.

Plus, you forgot to include that stencylworks cost $299 A YEAR

299 a year is a lot different than one payment of 45.

You are right about Gamemaker, it changed from last time I checked...

Watermarks? What watermarks, they only put one watermark on the Splash Screen and that is it. There are not a bunch of them, just one.

$299 a year? Where do you see this; even all the products on Stencyl combined don't equal that much money.

i already published a game on kongregate :lol

Anyone know how to change the title of a forum post? Stencyl 2.0 has been released and the title is now misleading...
