1202 crashing a lot

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
#1

Not really done much with the latest public release apart from rebuild some old projects for the app store.

Today is my first time starting to look at developing a new game and it is constantly crashing. When I say crashing I mean proper OSX crashing out with the submit screen etc…

One thing that made it crash was setting the gravity on physics before issuing physics.start().

The other way it crashed was running http://developer.coronalabs.com/code/side-scroller-game the game starts for a few seconds then crashes.

Never noticed this before.

Known issue and you can find threads on forum.

Summing up, it is fault of bad written code. Last builds became more restrict when it comes to physics. You could had errors but earlier builds didn’t inform you about it - so it passed. Now this errors do not pass so you have problems. Check your code.

Hi Dave,

Which build are you using now, and which builds were these apps done with previously? Something like #971? Are you sure the errors are related to physics? Can you provide any other error reports or symptoms that are causing the crashes?

Thanks,

Brent

Am still using the same build.

I presume physics as if I move the setGravity to underneath where I require it then the simulator crashes, if I move it to after I start the physics then it doesn’t.

In regards to the side-scroller demo I downloaded, then no idea. I downloaded that to borrow the parallax scrolling stuff out of it. Haven’t looked into why it is crashing the simulator.
