Game Logic

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hey Everybody,

I need some starter code on some gamelogic. I am a newby and I have not found any code on this site that does what I’m looking for. I need to know how to write logic similar to a tic tac toe game. For instance if you have a x in a location or a gamepiece, the system knows you have it there. And then if you have a piece that does not go there, the system knows that too. Can somebody show me how the code would look if you had 3 X’s in a row or 3 O’s in a row. Is this if then type of logic? I don’t have any code now so I can’t show you because I don’t know how to even start that.

are you familiar with flash actionscript?
there are a lot of tutorials for AS out there and you should be able to translate them to LUA quite easily.

take a look at this:

you should get the idea…

Here’s a version of Tic Tac Toe in Lua for the Scite text editor. It doesn’t use the Corona APIs but the game logic should be readable and easy to translate.

Okay I looked at the items you guys listed and they are a little complicated to me. Can somebody help me with arrays on corona. I’m just not sure how to start. I know that’s what I would use for this.
