The folder created by corona sim when i press new project looks like this http://imgur.com/a/XRzr5 … no platform.png , no balloon.png and who knows what else… what’s wrong? Where can i get those files from?
There is a large note box in Chapter 1 that reads:
For this project, you can either create your own images or download our images. If you make your own, note these image guidelines:
- Corona supports PNG and JPG format.
- Images should not contain an embedded ICC profile.
- Avoid progressive JPG files since they will take much longer to load.
Our File->New Project or New Project button creates an empty project – well we give you a starter main.lua, config.lua, build.settings and a base set of Icon’s that you will eventually need to replace. But for the game itself you either have to create or own or download them from: https://github.com/coronalabs/GettingStarted01/archive/master.zip (the blue “download” link in the text).
Once you download them you will need to move them into your project folder using you operating system.

Dumb question. I am using a mac. I do i move the downloaded file into my project folder using the OS?
I have tried dragging and dropping.
Everything is in the corona stimulator, I have Atom as my editor. But the image can not be found.
What am i doing wrong?
CMD+C for copy, CMD+V for paste.
You should be able to drag and drop the images from your download folder to your project folder. Remember though if you drag a folder to another folder, you images will now be in a subfolder and you will need to construct a proper path to the images in Corona. What might be cleaner is to create a folder in your project alongside main.lua called “images”, then open images. Open the source folder with your downloaded images and drag and drop the contents of your source folder to the newly created images folder.
