Howdy, mafia711

You probably just need to open up the Corona Terminal first, which will open a terminal window to see your logs.

You should also see the welcome window pop up, where you can start the simulator and test your project.

As for your code, it looks like you are calling main() but only have a main1() function.

it also looks like you have some comments markers backwards, that might be problematic ‘]]–’ will throw an error, but ‘–[[’ will not

also, check out the forums’ HTML tags, they let you format code so that its easier to read:

local myCode="Clean Lookin'"
