Hello all, hope this message find everyone ok, i’m new to this community and I would like to see if i can get some help.
I just released a game for Android, called Whack A Bieber, and I would like to make an ios version of this game, i did some research and could not find any other platform that makes it so simple and fun to write applications with other than Corona SDK, i just love the fact that it is easy to install without having to install all this other files etc. It just blows my mind how easy it is to develop games with this amazing platform.
However, i do need some help since i’m fairly new, my programming background has only been in Visual Studio, and a little bit of Java, with that said, I would like some help and advice on how to go about porting my android application over to ios, I Used Basic4Android and libGDX for that application.
here’s the code i’ve written so far, this displays the background with the 9 holes and 3 images of justin bieber, however i’m still a little confused on how to detect when one of the biebers is tapped, i would like to make the same effect as in the android game, when the actor is hit it hides in its corresponding hole, but i can’t create the same effect with corona sdk.
I would also like to create the random effect of the images popping out of their holes at a determined speed and time.
Is this possible? can someone point me in the right direction?
I really appreciate your help in advance.
Regards,
Walter
