Hi!
Somebody knows any graphical editor for corona on windows? I found only one http://overlap2d.com/ … is it works with corona?
It looks like overlap2d outputs JSON which Corona SDK can read, decode and turn into a Lua table of information. You could then process over that table and use it to add objects and stuff to your app. The problem is you’re going to have to write the code that says "Oh that’s an image, let me create a display.newImageRect(). It has physics attached? Let me know add the physics body.
In other words, it will take some work, but you could make it work.

Thank you for the answer!
@Anatoli, There is one level designer that I know of that works on Windows and it’s pretty awesome. It’s called Level Director. It has been around for several years but just last week the developer introduced a significantly new version dubbed “Level Director X”. Before “X”, Level Director only supported Windows. It now supports both Windows and OSX. It works only for Corona and can be used to create your levels, export them, and then load them in your Corona game. It’s even configurable so that you can quickly edit the level in the designer and then click a button in the designer to run your game with the level you are editing, without the export step. Below are links for more info:

I ran into a couple of problems with one of the first versions of X but the developer addressed my issues in the forum here:
