Hi peach! 
Thanks, and thanks A LOT for the great vids! Iām learning A LOT! Thanks again! [import]uid: 51782 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 32216[/import]
peachpellen,
GS was the first tool I used for iPhone development. I didnāt post anything in their forum. Itās a very great tool. Then I tried Unity3D a bit and finally landed on Corona. How is the development of GS now? I miss it a lotā¦

I wouldnāt know; I havenāt used it in a long time. (Around my join date here.)
Iāve been too busy with Corona [import]uid: 10144 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 32446[/import]
GS: still slow as molasses. no arrays, no tables.
EDIT: Once I emailed Support, and it took them NINE days to answerā¦ [import]uid: 51782 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 32611[/import]
Once I emailed Support, and it took them NINE days to answerā¦
Once I emailed support and it took them no time at all to respond ā¦ Because they never responded XD
I hope they improve on that for their usersā sake. One of the deciding factors initially for me with Corona was that when I emailed Carlos he wrote back - despite the fact that my emails are often long, rambly and largely nonsensical.
Itās great seeing how far so many ex GS users have come with Corona.

Nice, Peach.
Yeah the communication with GS was ridiculous. I have been impressed with Carlos and the team here numerous times. And Iām about a day away from submitting my first Corona port-of-a-GS-app-upgraded-and-made-into-a-sequel! Iām excited.
Itās amazing how much better Corona is performance-wise.

Well due to a contract agreement I have, I am actually using GS. That being said, they (Corona and GS) are both different in the way apps are created and they both have their advantages. Use the right tool for the job is what I say. During my time with GS, Iāve been able to create various games but without the much needed game center, open feint and Facebook connectivity - all standard with Corona and all missing in GS. GS is great for the point and click crowd and as such itās what Iām going to be using for my game camp.
For more advanced work I am using CoronaSDK and for a project coming up I may need to use XCode + Objective-C as it requires push notifications. Push notifications and badges are currently not possible with CoronaSDK.

Hi there! Iām switching from GS too Because with GS I canāt complete my gameā¦lots of problems, slow loadings, probably not working on 3G devicesā¦ So, I decided to switch.
I have question for ex-GS users :
In GS when I clicked on āactorā I can add some rules and variables only for this actorā¦
How can I make this in Corona?
For example:
If i create a square:
local square = display.newRect(100,100,45, 45);
square.x = 100; square.y = 100;
square:setFillColor(255, 255, 0)
How can I create function that do something only with this (in GS it was āactorā) square? Because I need to create for about 20 āsquaresā and add different function to every square.
Thanks. [import]uid: 59968 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 41034[/import]
Well im thinking of changing as ive spent the last 2 weeks optimising my game using every trick in the book to find out my game runs like crap on the 3g,and i removed most of my particles removed all my parallax scrolling still the same,and there so called memory dump after every scene is rubbish as it doesnt dump just builds up and builds up, so its about time i made a decision to go with a serious game making application.only problem is i dont know how to code,but my anger thats built up over the last 2 weeks will give me the motivation to learn it,so soon as this game is released im not renewing my GS account and im gona start work on corona,
Any good advise from people,where is the best place to start,and i mean basic like if you put that code there it does this
thanks guys [import]uid: 65492 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 45188[/import]
glad to see you making the switch. if youāve never coded before it is a bit of a learning curve but can be done. www.learningcorona.com is one of the best places to start that I have found. it has just about all the tutorials in one place. [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 45190[/import]
Hey gamedivisionuk,
jstrahanās link is very useful - on it you will see many tutorials I have written, including a mini series called āCorona for Newbiesā - Iād suggest starting there. (Iāve had great feedback, itās very gentle, aimed at non coders.)
Good luck - the results are well worth the effort 
Peach [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 45196[/import]
thank you for the speedy reply i cant believe it, i can track my own posts its better already [import]uid: 65492 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 45200[/import]
Cross into the light. All are welcome. [import]uid: 6084 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 45203[/import]
yeah that was one of the first things I noticed to [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 45204[/import]
that Learningcorona.com site can be daunting itself. Iām a ālittle coding backgroundā guy myself and would suggest along with Peachās stuff, to check out Raphael Hernandezās videos on that site. Heās a fantastic teacher and his videos from start to finish, explained āwhy what does whatā just like youāre asking.
I found them to be invaluable when I was first learning because sometimes looking at commented code wasnāt enough. Watching someone put it together and explain each step was fantastic.
Thatās my suggestion from an ex GS, graphics guy.
Enjoy the freedom! [import]uid: 10361 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 45225[/import]

This made me laugh
the reason im moving to corona is because gamesalad just doesnt work at all ive spent 5 months making a game in GS the last 2 weeks where optimising and it didnt work at all,so i sent my project to gamesalad and they had the cheek to tell me weāll look through your project and see if you have any memory leaks ha ha ha ha ha ha.
WAKE UP,gs is one big memory leak,thats why games dont work in that program.i cant wait for there diagnosis. [import]uid: 65492 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 45452[/import]
haha
I never had a problem with gs but that is funny
I left back around 0.8.9 cause of some changes they were making
and the fact that you could never get an answer for them about the changes
so I left and came to corona and looked back I even left 3āgames uncompleted
but plan on one day recreating with corona [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 45454[/import]
yeah really bad communication,
i just look at all these features in corona,i cant believe it,support video and mp3,facebook twitter zero loading times,no stupid wheel,im like a kid in a sweets shop i cant wait to learn all thisā¦ [import]uid: 65492 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 45457[/import]
i been reading that quite a few new users have joined us.
welcome aboard
