I get it. Do you already have a git repository for the source?
FYI - you might also reach out to the Corona Labs team - see if they will grant you access to the source code to Corona Cloud - the solution they used to offer. There might be one or two things in there of value to you. It’s on Git.
@marble68 Yeah, I came on kind of late, so I was never familiar with the Corona Cloud service. I’ll take a look. Thank you for that.
I would love to have your feedback and framework ideas on Coronium, especially since you have experience using server-side Lua code. Can I set you up an instance?
Best.
I don’t have much time currently - I’m sprinting to finish my current project (which lives under Apache on top of MySql).
When I can spend more time I’ll get more involved.
@marble68 Excellent. Anytime, just shoot me a message.
Best of luck with your project. Got any links you can share yet?
Cheers.
Not quite yet - I’m almost in alpha playtest right now. then a graphic brushup, then a round two; then move public exposure.
I have to do consulting and stuff on the side to eat; so sometimes those eat into delivery.
Check out http://webscript.io for something that’s pretty much exactly this. (I’m not affiliated with those guys; I just find them really easy to work with.)
@ted89 That looks great. I wish it would have come up in my original Google search for Lua based cloud code. Could have saved me a lot of time.
The price is right too. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers.
There is a Leaderboard and Tic Tac Toe example as well. For people who have been looking for something like that.
Cheers.
Does this mean you won’t work on Coronium anymore?
@c0ppo I’m going to look into the overlap, and see what makes sense. I still think an open-source push solution for Corona projects would be nice. At the very least I’ll just put up what I have going now with the Coronium library to a public repository and we can all peck on it here and there.
My concern is making sure I focus my time in the right places, as far as solutions for Corona devs are concerned.
Cheers.
What? Noooooooo… Coronium is the best thing ever!!! Please don’t pull the plug. Pretty please?
IMHO, Coronium is worth the time, at least I’ve got high hopes for it. I really hope you continue on, but if you decide otherwise, I wish all the best to you. Maybe someone else will try to finish it
@ksan I don’t plan on pulling the plug at this point. You’re all good. I still like the MySQL and PHP integration on the server, which webscript.io doesn’t do. I think there is still a place for Coronium. But I think it needs a distinct angle/solution. Though I think that if someone is looking for some Lua cloud service right now, then this option looks good as well.
Cheers.
Sigh of relief. Thank you very very much!!! I think what you have already is amazing with the MongoDB or MySQL based storage options + PHP tie in. If you managed to squeeze in the Push component as well that works on IOS & Android then you will have an amazing product. These are things you can’t get anywhere in one box / solution.
And once again thank you very very much for all your hard work.
I certainly appreciate the votes of confidence. Many thanks.
More updates soon.
Best.
I do think something like webscript.io and a stack for corona are very different animals. Sure there would be overlap; but very different verticals.
Guys…I’ve not read this thread (just saw link on the blog & have to run out to a meeting, so apologies if this has already been considered/discussed), but if not, you guys should DEFINITELY be looking at OpenResty as a base for this project…capitalize on that existing lua framework and run 2.5 x faster than Node.js server…
