Creating a 2d strategy game using Lime

Lime
#1

I’m planning to make a 2D strategy game.

I made a list of the things I need to accomplish to be able to build my game. Just like in basketball, you have to practice dribbling, making free throws, jump shots, etc. before you expect to become good at it. So here’s my short list:

  1. Load a tmx map and show it. Let the user navigate the map using through swipes.
    Tutorial #13 (http://www.justaddli.me/tutorial.php?t=0&id=13) covers this.

  2. Get the terrain for a tile
    Get the terrain layer using getTileLayer, then get the tile using getTileAt

  3. Add an object to the map

  4. Get the object(s) at a specific tile

  5. Remove an object from the map

  6. Slide an object from tile A to tile B

  7. Slide an object from tile A to tile B, while its sprite animation is turned on. Useful when moving soldiers and firing missiles.

I’m stuck on #3 to #7. All of the Lime tutorials focus on making platformers, but I’m pretty sure Corona+Tiled+Lime is winning combo and I just don’t understand enough of it.

Any pointers? Thanks!

3 - http://justaddli.me/api.php?c=map&m=addObject
4 - http://justaddli.me/api.php?c=map&m=getTilesAt ( this is for Tiles however you should be able to easily change the code to make an Object equivalent )
5 - http://justaddli.me/api.php?c=object&m=destroy
6 & 7 - http://justaddli.me/api.php?c=tile&m=slideToPosition ( this is for Tiles however you should be able to easily change the code to make an Object equivalent ) [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 14458 reply_id: 54576[/import]

The original Lime tutorials are now online here:

http://lime.outlawgametools.com/tutorials-3/

The API and other docs are not there yet and probably won’t show up until mid January.
