Google Spreadsheet Tweaker
Platform:
Description:
As discussed on Ben Garney's blog, being able to grab data from a Google Spreadsheet and plug it in your game makes it possible to build better games faster.
A spreadsheet is easy for anyone to use. Google Spreadsheets are even better because they require no installation. They are versioned, and they are collaborative. They can even be accessed by other applications on the web. This free component makes it easy to hook values from cells in a spreadsheet to values in your game.
Save yourself some hassle and tweak your game the easy way. Use the Google Spreadsheet Tweaker!
Features
- Makes it easy to collaborate with non-coders - zero installation, no special programs, just go to Google Docs and start tweaking.
- Drop it into your game and start wiring up parameters for tweaking immediately.

We are using this in Grunts and it's been incredible useful. Such a simple idea done so well! We have all the enemy and player values hooked up here so we can tweak gameplay balance live on the web, through Google docs!
