Hi, i was wondering, Do games like angry birds, temple run, Where’s my water, make use of sprite’s or 3d model’s?.
If the answer is “3d models”, Is it possible to use 3d models in corona SDK? [import]uid: 167657 topic_id: 29255 reply_id: 329255[/import]
an angry birds clone is EXTREMELY easy to make with corona if you have art assets ready(2d images and sprites). Temple Run however is a no-go it is 3d. Wheres my water is 2d but making the water, although possible would be a HUGE PAIN [import]uid: 164950 topic_id: 29255 reply_id: 117647[/import]
Where’s my water is tough not only because of water. The way you erase the background requires image manipulation that is not available in Corona - unless you’re willing to subdivide the screen into something like 2x2 pixel sprites, which would probably kill the performance. Hmm, interesting - I gotta try that. [import]uid: 160496 topic_id: 29255 reply_id: 117650[/import]
This sample code will show you how you could make an Angry Birds type game in Corona; http://www.coronalabs.com/blog/2010/12/10/ghosts-vs-monsters-open-source-game-in-corona-sdk/ (courtesy of Jon and Biffy Beebe.)

The beauty of Corona is that it is a 2D game solution and in fact is what drew me to it in the first place.
If you’re interested in a Temple Run type of game/look, you could try out Unity. 3D art assets and animations can be a full time effort on their own. [import]uid: 105707 topic_id: 29255 reply_id: 118503[/import]
