Nice to see you fellow ex-GS users.

The old www.GSProForum.com website has a global post that you can use to ask super-noob Corona questions if you don’t want to appear to be a super noob on this forum. Maybe Carlos will check in once in a while there too.

I will try to post snippit links over there of super noob stuff to check out as I find them on here. You can also use it as a GS to GS migration thread to sort out concepts and ideas as you adapt to the new way of organizing your logic.

Corona is quite different than GS. GS hid a lot of things from you while trying to “simplify” its assembly process. Perhaps it will become location to share game porting tricks as you mature into OOP logic structures. [import]uid: 9492 topic_id: 2614 reply_id: 7660[/import]

Way to go Ansca!

Hi guys… Familiar faces indeed. :slight_smile:

I have to say I’m blown away at the personable nature of the Staff here. The fact that Carlos tells users to email him directly for uber-noob questions makes me grin. Very un-Gamesalad of them :wink:

I’m pretty sure I’m not going to regret this decision.

yeah Carlos is great
oh and get use to the reference if you like me you’ll live there [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 2614 reply_id: 8545[/import]

I love it here too - slowly but surely learning; I’m still a bit overwhelmed by it all but impressed at how much progress I’ve made given what little time I’ve been poking away at LUA. :slight_smile:

The super supportive and friendly staff along with the fact we no longer have to deal with that particular GS member who was horrible and negative to people constantly is just a huge added bonus on top of having a good, solid alternative to GS.

Plus, there’s just something about coding the feels more rewarding than drag and drop ^-^; [import]uid: 10144 topic_id: 2614 reply_id: 8555[/import]

Coding games and putting the effort in yourself to learn the code increases your knowledge tenfold… Better games here we come :slight_smile:

*purrs* +101 is a lot of +s :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m still such a total noob, but making things work; like when you have a small issue and you fix it, is SO rewarding.

I put openfeint in my “learn some basics” type app and my GOD, it was awesome seeing that dashboard launch. :smiley: [import]uid: 10144 topic_id: 2614 reply_id: 8689[/import]

@peach:

Good to hear!

From a VB Semi-Developer, I know the feeling of having coded something successful.
I glad the trial provides the ability to test on my own device.

It looks like LUA has it’s similarities to Visual Basic; so it should be an easy learning curve for me. [import]uid: 9959 topic_id: 2614 reply_id: 8719[/import]

@peachpellen, glad you like the OpenFeint! It sure adds a whole lot of bang with very little effort, don’t it. [import]uid: 54 topic_id: 2614 reply_id: 8995[/import]

It really does!

I have a question that may or may not get seen for a time but I figured I’d ask anyway;

I have an actor I want to move side to side on Tilt; I’ve tried using Gravity but it feels like slipping and sliding - is there something better to use? or is it more a matter of playing with my actor’s physics settings?
