line 4 of restart.lua:

What does this error mean and what do I need to fix?

Thank you.( p.s sorry to Perry Clarke for my ignorance in one of my first posts when I was starting corona .)

Syntax error: c:\users\true\documents\corona projects\tapthe meme\build.settings:20: ‘}’ expected near ‘=’

says it all.

Look at line 20-ish (around line 20) of build.settings and find the syntax error. You didn’t need to paste all the rest. Better to zip the file up and link it.

roaminggamer · September 30, 2015, 11:21pm

This line:

["plugin.google.play.services"] = { publisherId = publisherId = "com.coronalabs", },

should be:

["plugin.google.play.services"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs", },

Just take your time, read the error output from start to finish and look at your code slowly…

Or… walk away and look at it the next day.

I think you’ve got code blindness… It happens to us all. We see what we expect to see. Our minds correct the problem we’re seeing and we miss it.

A few days ago that same code blindness led to me accidentally discovering that in PHP that same syntax is perfectly valid:

$storename = $gamename = $theStore;

Took me a while to work out why my gamename variable was incorrect

Yeah, unfortunately, Lua doesn’t support cascaded assignments. That would be nice in some cases. (I find myself wanting it occasionally to simplify code.)
