Can Corona make this game?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hi All! I’m downloading Corona now and hopefully can answer my own question after a while, but thought it might not hurt to ask this up front! By the way I’m a Unity developer - have 1 game published on iOS and Android so far. Really wanted to write my 2nd game using Unity, however Unity 3d just seems like a mismatch because:

  • game is basically 2D
  • involves ~ 400 greyscale line art images
  • need 1 bit images and greyscale images (unity doesn’t support)
  • need to hit test against individual 1 bit images (unity doesn’t support)

Can Corona do this on iOS and Android?

Thanks much for any advice!

Images have to be RGB, Corona does not support greyscale. I believe only 32bit PNG images are supported so 1bit wouldn’t work. [import]uid: 27965 topic_id: 12685 reply_id: 46467[/import]
