Hi, I really want to know whats the biggest different between swift and corona.
I haven’t never tried swift before and What is good using corona sdks, and what is good using swift??
Can swift code make android’s games?
Swift (as of now) can only be use for building iOS apps and OS-X applications (and we can include Apple Watch in the mix). It currently cannot produce Android apps. However, Apple announced at their WWDC conference last week they are going to make Swift OpenSource so other platforms can start using it as a language. But given that Apple and Google are working at making their two eco-systems as separate as possible, I doubt Swift will ever be embraced by Google as a language you can use.
Swift is a programming language. Itself, once open sourced will be portable to many platforms. However a language isn’t enough to build anything useful. You need to have access to some libraries that do things with the system. On a Unix platform, this is access to the C-Library of code that bridges the language to the operating system. On iOS you can use several languages: Objective C, Swift, and C/C++ to talk to the iOS SDK and frameworks to build apps that work on iOS. Google uses C/C++ and Java to make Android apps but it requires access to all the Android libraries to work.
So you need a language + some libraries for the OS you’re building for.
Corona SDK isn’t a language. Corona SDK is an SDK/Framework that works with the language Lua. Our SDK lets you easily write code using our API calls that do what it takes multiple lines of code in other frameworks to do.
Hope that helps explain it.
