I built two games with corona back in 2011 and sold them on iTunes for a short while. I have been away since then but would like to test my games, fix them if required with all the changes since then and put them back on iTunes. I have all my original files but don’t know where to start. Can somebody get me on track? I am not a coder so the forums helped me before. I am so lost with how to test and what files to upload where. I thought it was testing the zip files I have or the main.lua but that’s not it.
Do you have the original files of the games in corona projects folder? If so you would prob have to convert some code aka storyboard to composer and such like that.
Yes I DO! I have them all in a folder and when I tried to test it, I got all types of code errors. I wasn’t sure if it was because things have changed in the way the code is written or not. What is composer?
composer is the new storyboard… in my opinion its much easier and worth learning… corona will be removing or already removed story board in the recent update… im not sure… did you use story board? or did you put your whole game in main.lua?
If you want you could email me a zip file of the simplest game you want to give me and ill fix it comment evenything out and get you on the road!
Your getting the error because the way the code is written i think, not sure 100%
I didn’t use storyboard before. I have everything in main.lua. So do you think I just need to open the main and edit it to see if that fixes it. I have not changed anything from when it was working 4 years ago. Corona and the Apple OS has changed though.
Probably the most significant change since 2011 is the 2.0 version of the Corona graphics engine. This entailed a widespread core update and quite a bit changed. Generally speaking, converting from the old graphics engine to 2.0 is not a vast and monumental process, but it takes a little effort and you need to be understand what changes occurred.

Hey, So im lost here… do you need/want help?
Thanks Brad! I’ll take a look at it.
Sonic I do want help but not somebody to do it for me. I can’t learn that way. If I get stumped I’ll post as I go along. Right now Brad has given some information and I want to research.
Oh i just thought you were a visual learner like i am(someone that learns by looking at something) but no problem! ill help you anytime!
I am definitely a visual learner but from the perspective of reading or hearing first then seeing the change. There will definitely be some code I post that just needs the line fixed and when it’s fixed I see it and understand from that point. I will probably be sending you something tomorrow to look at after I start going line be line with the edits. I’m hoping it’s simple. Thank you so much for everything you are doing.
Alright well when you need help im here.
