Corona for dummies

Hi. I am still having issues with my editor. Sublime looks great but there is no feature to make it my default editor.

Once again, you come straight back here to ask other people to solve your problems caused by your own lack of knowledge. Once again, you could have asked Google ‘how to make sublime default text editor in windows 7’, or ‘how to associate a file type with a default program’.

You really don’t help yourself. Which is why I doubt anyone else is going to bother either.

Seriously, with your lack of any kind of basic problem solving ability, you are really very unlikely to get anywhere in software development.

I’m a professional software developer of business systems on handhelds, and I STILL get stuck several times a day with things I thought were gonna be straight forward and turn out not to be (particularly in Corona…). Imagine if instead of finding a way round or through my problem I came and posted some vague question on the forums and waited a few days for a response?!

If you don’t want to help me why are you responding?

Guys we can’t be rude. He/she has a dream to make a game or app and I think we should help anyway we can.

But seriously. Go in YouTube and type how to get a defualt file editor and that should be perfect.

Believe it or not, I am trying to help you. I’m trying to help you think for yourself… which is a key skill in order to have any kind of success in coding.

I’m not trying to be rude. I’m trying to be realistic about your apparent abilities and your lack of interest in trying to find anything out for yourself, preferring instead to expect others to do your research for you.

Coding takes a certain mindset and a certain skill set - one of the largest of which is the ability to problem solve. It’s just not for everyone.

Right klick on the “main.lua” file - Open with - Choose standard program - klick to sublime
Then it will be your default text editor.

To be honest. Switch to ZeroBrane. It is, in my point of view, easier. Less functions. All you need.
And only press F6 for starting your main.lua file.
As is said. Open up the samples on your c:windows/programs/corona folder…

Have Fun

Let’s keep things professional please.

Any way, when you’re new to a technology and you lack starting points, even knowing what to Google can be a challenge. Getting one’s search skills up to speed takes time and encouragement.

Thanks

Rob

Hi. Thank you. How do I set my pc up to be compatible to Corona? I have an error message ‘Need openGL 2.1 or higher’. I tried to download it from the internet but when you open the sites they advertise you other stuff.

Try updating your video card drivers

Can you operate Corona on a laptop?

You need to update your video card drivers like JonPM said. What video card do you have? Do you know how to check?

Yes you can operate Corona on a laptop. Can you tell us your specs?

Thanks!

Where and how do I see the specs on the laptop? I managed to download corona but then I cannot continue as it indicates I need openGL 2.1 or higher.

Open your computers “Search” bar and type in “Device manger” then look for “Display adapters” and double click on it. It should now tell you what you have.

It indicates that I have a intel® HD graphics.

Which exactly do you have?

This thread might help you.

Version 10.18.10.3374

No. Like “intel HD graphics 4000”?

–InfiSnyp

Where do I see that?

Nvm. Let me see if I can find you and update.
