How to get started making games? Should I watch all the videos on the YouTube channel, they have in the playlist called “Corona University”. Lets say I watched all of the videos, and I understand most of it - I will be able to start making games?
Any other tips? What about reading the docs and Coron University?
Thanks for the help.
You have pretty much answered your own question. I would start with the guides and the tutorial videos and even the API docs for further details. I had no experience with Corona or LUA and had a working framework happening in a few days with database interaction. If you are able to grasp basic programming concepts there is no reason you cannot start making games immediately. And these forums are an awesome resource also. Best of luck.
Thanks. Can’t wait to start!
Hi!
Only watching the videos will not be enough to make games. You will need to do things, create simple games, do real programming and source or create artwork to learn how to make games.
Start with simple projects, learn the ins and outs of that and how to solve or overcome problems you run into, and move up from there on. And don’t be afraid to ask for help in the forum: the people here are superfriendly!
Thanks for the help. I agree with you - you have to use it to learn it. Thanks!
Corona is very easy to learn. You can download a Word Game Template here http://webplusmobileapps.com/corona-sdk-app-development/word-shuffle-app-corona-sdk-word-game-template/
It covers most of the topics you need to start making an app
Personally, I found the easiest way to start was by going through the sample code that came with the SDK. They are pretty good.
