Lua for HTML5

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hi,

It seems Corona may not support html5 yet as it was announced in 2015 and it’s 2018 still no builds for html5.

I have a question, is there any other way I can use my Lua code game to port to html5? I don’t want to try from scratch.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Usman. Thanks for the question.

Back in 2015, we tried to bring support for HTML5 to Corona, but we ran into various issues and we put that project back on hold.  We are currently working on HTML5 support, in fact it’s in closed beta now. Hopefully we will get it to an open beta soon.

It’s a good news. I can’t wait to try HTML5 in Corona.

Hi Rob,

 

Please add my account to bata version. I used Corona SDK to release my first game to Apple and Google Play store around 5 years ago.

 

I want to migrate my game built by Lua to Html5. 

 

Thank you in advance.

Eric, this is a closed beta which means it’s not ready to release anything with. We are looking for people who can take time to test existing apps and provide our developers feedback.  I’ll go ahead and invite you, just be aware it’s not ready for release yet.

Watch your email.  

For others, we will likely be opening this soon, so please give us a little more time. We are not looking for additional closed beta testers at this time.

Hi Rob; I’m really rooting for everyone involved in developing this HTML 5 extension to Corona. Good luck all! I’d ask to be in the closed Beta but I guess I missed that. :slight_smile: Don’t want to start a separate thread for this so I thought I’d simply ask Rob … anyone from the Corona team going to be at GDC in San Francisco this week?

I don’t believe any Corona staff will be there.
