Corona Geek #135 - Game Design Part 7 - Particle Effect Enhancements, Composer Scenes, and Audio

During last week’s Hangout we swapped out our particle effects library, added code to track player progress, and add a HUD for scoring and speed. 

This week we’ll add a few more particle effect enhancements, drop in code to support Composer scenes, and make sure our collision audio works. The game is looking great and we are approaching the end of this game development series. We’ll talk more about our future plans for the next dev series on Monday’s Hangout.
