An RPG themed OOP design pattern for Corona SDK

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I put together an article walking through one inheritance based design approach to some standard objects you might find in an RPG game, though the principles can be used for other Corona based games and apps as well.

It’s covered it 5 parts and each part builds on the last.  This version covers Character, Weapon, Armor, and Consumable class designs.

Seriously, you should do a few more :wink:

If you look for “more advanced” tutorials, most of the time you find tutorials written for *hardcore* programmers who just wants to see if certain things are possible in Corona SDK for example ( - or they are not very easy to follow!). Your tutorial is easy to understand, *lightweight*, and covers a pretty good start about Corona and OOP! :slight_smile:

Agreed, a great set of tutorials, thanks for making them!

Great job.

Thanks for making this one, just what I was looking for and really well explained! Had a couple of “lightbulbs over my head” moments while reading it :slight_smile:

Fantastic and so useful!

A good design pattern is like beer when you are thirsty, but without the hangover.
