Hi all,
my name is Aldo and I just downloaded Corona from advice from a friend, wow, this app is really powerful ! I would like to develop a arcade style shoot em up game to start off with - problem is I’m a total noob at programming, I can design the game though, but Corona looks so inviting ! I think I might jump right in !
I got some really cool ideas ( Don’t we all 
)
I played with game salad a bit ( and when I say a bit - I mean a bit like this much " ~ " - besides it didn’t work properly and then they " democratised " it and I was like ok I’m outta here.
Is there a demo or source code which allows me to play around with a shoot em up engine ? I’m thinking old school arcade, something like raiden fighters and the like, but really really far out - I have been studying game screen design ( Cave shooters ) and have been building the graphics and such over the past couple of years for this game, but it was a dilemma of time, development environment and such.
I was like, hmmm . . . I can build it in flash . . . then game salad, or Torque 2D engine and on and on, until I found this or rather was pointed to it by my developer friend, who just had a baby - not him, his wife, so he hasn’t got any time at the moment, but I am open to anyone who wants to collaborate and visa versa, got my idisk set up and everything !
In the meantime ( yes time is a luxury at the moment ) I will try and chip away at it. I am also in the midst of publishing a series of comic books, about 40 issues over the next two to three years, I have downloaded the corona comics app and have played around with it some what - looks cool - but I just got my ibook store publishing account so will release it on that first ( invested a LOT of time in learning producing ebooks / epub properly ) - then will jump onto releasing it for apps on iTunes and Android all thanks to Corona.
If anyone wants to play, hit me up. I can be found here : http://www.aldrichquaihoi.com or here : a.quaihoi@inkorporativ.com.
PS. Neo Geo 4 Ever !
