Hi,
I am new to Corona. I was looking for a code to move the camera to show only the images on the stage.
For example angry birds.
At the beginning of the game the camera shows the whole scene. i.e. where the pigs are and how the obstacles look. Then the camera focuses on the catapult and the bird.
After that if the user wants he can scroll the screen to look at the obstacles again.
Is there any sort of tutorials available to set up such environment?
If not can somebody help with some code?
I was able to write the below code which scrolls the background. However, the players and platform stay at the same place making the code worthless. Thanks for taking time to answer.
