Hello everyone, I’m new to Corona SDK and enjoying it tremendously. I’ve learned a great deal on my own, but I keep hitting a wall with performWithDelay.
As I understand it, it should work like this:
timer.performWithDelay( milliseconds, functionCalled, iterations )
function functionCalled()
print(“This should print to the console as many times are there are iterations at the rate of the milliseconds”)
end
I may be wrong, but this is how I understand it so far. I’m trying to make a simple timer that counts up indefinitely, but I can’t get the timer to do anything. I’ve dumbed it all down to this, just to see if it works:
timer.performWithDelay( 1000, timeKeeper, 5 )
function timeKeeper()
print(“test”)
end
I expect to see test written to the console 5 times. I’m not even seeing it once. I’ve looked at a number of resources online but they all seem to imply that this should be working. Clearly I’m missing something basic, and I regret bothering you with this problem, but I’d really appreciate the help!
Thank you
