Lots slower than the native code the Cuttlefish Engine generates. But don't worry, it will be designer friendly. I don't find Javascript particularly friendly to designers - but regardless, the engine also has drag-and-drop scripting similar to GameMaker, where the designer prompts you for arguments, making it very easy for non-programmers.

What form those take depends a lot on how things shape up, but the goal is that the framerate you see in the simulator match what you see on most phones.

Thanks for keeping us informed. I loved Gamemakers ease of use but with experience you were able to do almost anything. BTW how will we know if we are overtaxing the g1/mytouch with say too many objects onscreen at once while we are only able to test on a pc? Sounding great. Thanks for keeping us informed.

The interface will be better, though - I never really liked the way Gamemaker handled blocks, and when I was first learning Gamemaker most of my time was spent hovering over the icons in the palette and waiting for the tooltip to tell me what they did. I'll try to post a screenshot of the action editor here soon, but it's a more streamlined and helpful UI - clickable links to wiki pagess for each action, etc. Yeah, it’s going to be similar to Gamemaker’s drag-and-drop editor.

How close would you say it will be to Gamemaker for pc? Drag n drop actions make it real easy. Can’t wait. How close would you say it will be to Gamemaker for pc?
