“@peach pellen - 3 weeks? thats pretty fast. good to hear that. if you had to start over what would be your best advice? To read some Lua ebook from start to finish with out coding, or read lua and at the same time coding in text edit?”
My advice would be stick with it when you get frustrated. When I started there were very few resources, so it is easier now with sites like mine (http://Techority.com) and http://learningcorona.com which lists all available tutes.
What I did to learn was I looked at sample code/templates and learned how the code in them worked just by playing with it. I learned bits of code from there that I could then apply to my own projects.
Like others, it took me longer than 3 weeks to become truly good with Corona/Lua but that was how long it took to write my first (very simple, though it did use the accelerometer) game with Corona. I’d say I started to get really good at around the 3 month mark. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 30126 reply_id: 120818[/import]
