How do I create different "screens"

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hello

I am an iPhone programmer looking into using Corona for a project. I have been looking through the documentation, but am left with a question. Let’s suppose I am writing a puzzle game. On launch, the game will show a screen that allows the user to select a difficulty level. When selected, another screen is displayed that allows the user to select which puzzle to solve on that difficulty level. When selected, the main game screen is shown. I don’t see any immediate support for partitioning the app into several “screens”. What would be the best way to go about this?

Thanks.

You could create groups for things and remove the groups later or use object.isVisible = true/false to hide them. Do you have an example of what you think this should look like? Maybe I can steer you in the right direction. [import]uid: 5 topic_id: 320 reply_id: 491[/import]

Thanks for the quick reply.

Wihile this has nothing to do with my game, the screens are somewhat similar (iTunes link):

First screen: menu
Second screen: puzzles
Third screen: game

They are all different and need to be presented at different times.

I’ve just discovered that there’s actually a small section called “screens” in the app programming guide. I missed that on the first read. It suggests using groups like you wrote, so I’ll try that.
