During last week’s Hangout we started a new game mechanics series with a focus on breaking down the various elements and mechanics of an existing endless runner game. We kicked off the discussion with a planning session to define what pieces should be included and what the rules of the game should be. We also spent some time discussing Corona’s Transition Library and how it can be used to add motion to your apps.

During this week’s Hangout we’ll continue both conversations with a look how the endless runner game project will be set up and what various bits and pieces will be required before we start laying down lines of code. We’ll also look at a Transition Library easings sampler that Ed Maurina has put together to help us use and visualize the 40+ options that are available when using Transition Library in our apps.
