I used to script in lua but none of it was really hard coded, i script in other languages so are any like lua? if so what languages are like lua. Also since i practically just started in lua what is the best way (your recommendations)to learn it. Currently i am working on my first lua game and basically what i got so far is the background in the sky, i made a balloon in Gimp, and i have a balloon spawner script going. gravity is negative so the balloons float upward and you are suppose to tap the balloons and they will pop. i havent gotten to the pop part because i dont really know how i should do it but im trying to atleast get it to play this balloon popping noice.
Here is my code so far
system.activate("multitouch")
local physics = require("physics")
physics.start()
physics.setGravity(0, -2)
local background = display.newImage("bkg\_background001.png")
local isPaused = false
local function spawnBalloon( event )
balloon = display.newImage("balloon001.png")
balloon.x = math.random(500)
balloon.y = 1100
balloon.rotation = 0
--balloon.name("balloon")
physics.addBody( balloon, {friction = 0.5})
balloon.collision = onCollide
balloon:addEventListener("collision", balloon)
if(balloon:addEventListener( "touch", balloon)) then
media.playsound("popSound")
end
end
local function PausePlay()
pause = display.newImage("pause.png")
pause.x = ScreenWidth/2
pause.y = ScreenHeight/2
play = display.newImage("play.png")
if(pause:addEventListener( "touch", pause)) then
system.vibrate()
end
end
display.setStatusBar(display.HiddenStatusBar)
timer.performWithDelay(500, spawnBalloon, 500)
Im also trying to get it to pause but i dont really know how to do the applicationsuspend and applicationresume i tried looking stuff up but im a little tired so i really didnt find anything [import]uid: 81383 topic_id: 13463 reply_id: 313463[/import]
