@jstrahan: Going over there to look at it now. I agree, a central page that shows all new threads and replies would be AWESOME. [import]uid: 7849 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 7858[/import]

Finished my D-Pad Demo!
Wow what functions and events can do!
I will upload it as soon as I add some polish to it!
I am sure it will make the first step easier it did for me!

Hey ex-gs’ers Looking forward to in making the switch from GameSalad to Corona. I’m an artist not a programmer so this should be a challenge. Nice to see so many familiar names here.
Coupon for a convert? [import]uid: 10062 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 7890[/import]
Want some help?
Here is a hello world from a corona tutorial:
local text = display.newText(“Hello World” , 50,50,nil, 26) --create a text object
test:setTextColor(255,255,255) – sets the objects color to white
local button = display.newImage (“button.png”) --creates a image to be used as a button
button.x = display.contentWidth / 2 – sets x pos
button.y = display.contentHeight - 50 – sets y pos
function button:tap ( event ) – change color function for the button image called tap
–These are vars set to a random RGB value
local r = math.random(0, 255)
local g = math.random(0, 255)
local b = math.random(0, 255)
textObject:setTextColor(r, g, b) – sets the text to the randomly set variables
end
button: addEventListener (“tap” , button) – the action that triggers or calls the tap function
Hope that helps!

nice thanks! I’ll give it try this weekend. [import]uid: 10062 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 7893[/import]
Ha ha, are you “teasing” us Eric? If you’re willing to offer an “Early Adopter” pricing coupon to us GameSalad refugees, that would be awesome. It’s up to Ansca I suppose… I’m not asking for handouts, but if you want to win the hearts of dozens of “rats” jumping off the burning GameSalad ship, a discount coupon for Corona would seal the deal.

Like this?
[blockcode]
local text = display.newText(“Hello World” , 50,50,nil, 26) --create a text object
test:setTextColor(255,255,255) – sets the objects color to white
local button = display.newImage (“button.png”) --creates a image to be used as a button
button.x = display.contentWidth / 2 – sets x pos
button.y = display.contentHeight - 50 – sets y pos
function button:tap ( event ) – change color function for the button image called tap
–These are vars set to a random RGB value
local r = math.random(0, 255)
local g = math.random(0, 255)
local b = math.random(0, 255)
textObject:setTextColor(r, g, b) – sets the text to the randomly set variables
end
button: addEventListener (“tap” , button) – the action that triggers or calls the tap function

goto the lua language part of the forum and click on my just starting thread

just finished first step in my identity scene ive got my j growing in size and rotating clockwise and stoping in the perfect position tomorrow ill work on getting strahan to circle the j for now im going to read a little more lua [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 7911[/import]
Anyone know why we call the product Corona?
Carlos [import]uid: 24 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 7912[/import]
You cheated. I know you googled it…
Banned from the forums.
Got it right.
[import]uid: 24 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 7914[/import]
Corona refers to a part of the glow on the sun.
“Lua” (which is the programming language of Corona) means “moon” in Portuguese.
The sun/moon compliment eachother, as does Corona + Lua
Did I get it right?
OR…
It’s the fav. beer of Carlos [import]uid: 7849 topic_id: 2645 reply_id: 7913[/import]
