Hi!
I have been following the guide on how to make a game using Corona. I am on lesson 3. For reference here is the link to the tutorial: https://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/programming/03/index.html
I am on the movement section and I wanted to test out whether everything was fine with my code and a runtime error occured. Here is what it says in the log:

This is line 89: local newAsteroid = display.newImageRect( mainGroup, objectSheet, 1, 102, 85 )
It is under Asteroid Creation.
Can someone tell me what is wrong with my code
