Is Economy or Inventory System possible in Corona SDK?

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi guys, can I’m currently working on a prototype 2D game school (thesis project). Its a simulation game where you can dress, arrange furniture inside your house, pick a task (with time based). So, is it possible to create an inventory system using corona sdk? Inventory for storing items like clothes, furnitures etc. And, also theres also this feature, which is the store to buy his stuff. Or is it also possible to create an economy system where you can buy items from store? How can I program a gold to purchase them?

Thanks so much! :slight_smile:

Yes it is possible.

You can make your own in game currency and then (optionally) let users accrue it in a number of ways:

  • ad watching
  • action earning
  • buying via IAP

Next, you make your ‘store’ in whatever form suits your game, and then let users buy things with your in-game-currency.

There isn’t just one way to do this.  So don’t expect a simple answer like: click this, do that, write this…
