@ syn
hey i think i read somewhere you had the same problem as me do you remember how to fix [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 7833[/import]
Oh guys⌠I work during that time, is there a pm session or class? [import]uid: 9979 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 7835[/import]
or, if you could just record it and have it available for recasting / redownloading later in the day, thatâd be awesome. [import]uid: 8300 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 7836[/import]
@synthesis
thanks anyway
i know one of my fellow ex-GSerâs here had the same problem if you please help [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 7838[/import]
I really want to learn! In about a week I plan to buy corona but I really wish I got it with the pre release pricing. Now I just need to learn how to use events⌠And jump⌠Big to do list!

More importantlyâŚyou need to learn the power of Functions and Tables.
Donât focus on the details just yetâŚget the big pictures first. Use the starter Lua Resources as well as the Corona References.
SorryâŚwrong thread of yours GameXCBâŚ
These email notifications are confusing sometimes. [import]uid: 9492 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 7843[/import]
Yeah im looking into Tables and Functions, but WHAT are they?! [import]uid: 8517 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 7850[/import]
tables are things we eat at lol
and functions just sound fun [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 7851[/import]
READ!!! SeriouslyâŚyou got to step back and read through all the literature. If you donât know what a function isâŚthen you shouldnât be coding yet.
Hit the books for a week.
THEN start coding:
Try this âgetting startedâ material:
http://www.ijustwannamakesomegames.com/forum/index.php?board=29.0 [import]uid: 9492 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 7852[/import]
If youâve ever coded before, tables are like arrays, but I think theyâre a little easier to use personally. If youâve never coded before, you should definitely look at the getting started material posted above, and start trying to get your head wrapped around Lua or everything might just confuse you.
I had prior experience with PHP and some other languages so Lua was very easy to pick up. Iâm not so sure if that would have been the case if I had NEVER programmed before. If thatâs where youâre at, definitely go through some Lua tutorials. Donât get discouraged though, Lua is still one of the easiest programming languages Iâve ever seen.
Functions, on the other hand, can simply be thought of as a block of code that can be called later on in the code (of course, it can be more complicated than that but thatâs the simplest way to put it). For example:
[blockcode]
local myFunction = function()
â The following will happen, but only when myFunction() is called:
print( âThis is my first function!â )
end
â Sometime later on in your lua fileâŚ
myFunction() --> this will execute the block of code you wrote above
[/blockcode]
And anything that is preceded with âââ is a comment, btw.
Hope that helps! [import]uid: 7849 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 7853[/import]
Oh I have coded before! I have coded C, Some Objective-C, HTML, and some Actionscipt! I didnât mean to write function on there. Just tables. Thanks synth! Iâll take a look.

@Gamexcb: If you have coded in C, âsomeâ Objective-C, and ActionScript⌠then Lua will be an absolute breeze for you.
I used to code web database-driven sites mainly in PHP and I loved it. Lua is even more simple and it has become my favorite language even in the relatively short time Iâve been using it. I only use PHP to supplement some âwebâ features in my Corona apps now. [import]uid: 7849 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 7856[/import]
@jonbeebe
i posted a problem i got in the lua programming forum if you could help that would be great
we really need a central page where all new post go otherwise if someone doesnt go and look for new post in other parts of the forum they may never see some ii know im jumping all over [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 7857[/import]
