Developing on Windows and transferring to Mac?

Hey all, brand new to Corona here. I have a Macbook Pro I could use for development, but I’d really rather use my PC setup. I’m wondering if I can download Corona and develop the game on PC, then transfer my project file over to my Mac to compile for the App Store? I’d like my game (if I get that far, hopefully I do!) to be on Android and iOS, but I’d prefer to use my PC. Is this possible?

This is the only way i roll! The most beautiful aspect of Corona to me. Have fun! [import]uid: 21331 topic_id: 23113 reply_id: 92426[/import]

Yes this is perfectly possible as stated in this post: http://developer.anscamobile.com/forum/2011/10/05/possible-use-coronasdk-2-machines-same-time

use dropbox and work on the dropbox folder;) [import]uid: 86417 topic_id: 23113 reply_id: 92429[/import]

Official response : Yes you can :slight_smile:

Yes, same here. It works like a charm! Sometimes you might have to tweak things a little because you might run into tiny differences (I remember carriage return and line feeds being one of them when using display.newText), but otherwise I don’t remember any issues. I just started with Corona this year.

Just curious, what do folks use for source control? I really want to set one up soon (and then sync it with Live Mesh or Dropbox). Any recommendations that work for both Windows and MAC and have features like version control (obviously), auto-merge, diff, etc…

I set up Subversion on one of my Bluehost accounts. A friend of mine uses Assembla and likes it, I just wanted the control all to myself. :slight_smile: [import]uid: 21331 topic_id: 23113 reply_id: 92483[/import]

If you haven’t yet played around with Git, drink the koolaid and do it. Distributed version control is infinitely more flexible than centralized, server-based version control. [import]uid: 71767 topic_id: 23113 reply_id: 92490[/import]
