If you’re very new I suggest getting one or more books on Corona:

If you are only relatively new, you may be ready to jump right into templates:

Google: “platformer template corona sdk”  brought this up: http://www.tandgapps.co.uk/shop/mario-platformer-template/

I also have (other kinds of) templates here: http://roaminggamer.com/makegames/

Finally, there are many great resources here:

Have fun!

im just curious. .how did u and TandG create their level maps… did u use 3rd party tools or did u do it manually???

@reyanthonyrenacia,

Hi.  Sorry, but I don’t know how TandG made their maps.  I’m not associated with them.  In my templates, all my content is laid out manually or in a table.  That said, none of my templates are grid games with big levels.   If I did something like that I’d use Corona to make an in-game editor and run it in the simulator to make levels.
