My Top 5 Requests

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
#1

Hello,

After weeks of searching for the right SDK, I’ve finally found Corona. It’s almost a dream come true in many ways…

I would like to submit my own top feature requests…

  1. Universal iPad/iPhone Apps : Actually, when I subscribed I had the impression (based on some beta screen shots) of Corona is already supporting this. And later found it it’s removed at some point. I think implementing this should be easier now as very soon both devices will share same iOS 4.2 base.

  2. Clipping/Masking : That would really enhance the capabilities. I’m coming from Flash/AS3 and I’m used to have that option in my hands.

  3. InApp Purchases : I know that’s in the works but it was in my top 5 anyway :slight_smile:

  4. iAd Support : There are many people making really good profit from free apps with ads (I know, it should be used wisely) and I would really like to have that option available from Corona.

  5. Dynamic Builds : When I built something with the game edition, it includes everything in the bundle. Wouldn’t it be nice if the Corona can sense what features we are using and only include those in the bundle? I mean, If my app is not using OF, resources for that should not be in the bundle. Likewise, if the app is not using box2d it should be excluded when compiling the app. That might also help to have a single CoronaSDK and even the game edition can build apps as small as the original SDK. Every byte counts, right?

Anway, thanks for reading this… Keep up the good work! [import]uid: 10478 topic_id: 3659 reply_id: 303659[/import]

Hi Carlos,

Been away for a while and just saw the road map…

I think most of my requests will be covered soon, keep up the great work! Just one thing, personally I’d love to see Universal iPhone/iPad builds having a higher priority than it is now.

Yeah, the roadmap is going to change… we heard a lot from you guys and we are going to move things around.

I want a ,make million dollar app, API
Figured since it’s Christmas why not ask [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 3659 reply_id: 12944[/import]

#6

I’d add OpenFeint for Android and unsure if
“Add “2.5d” image transforms”
Refers to Depth Buffer and built-in Z-Index. [import]uid: 11024 topic_id: 3659 reply_id: 12948[/import]

#7

You guys rock!

Just downloaded the new release and I’m surprised to see my #5 is in there :slight_smile:

“This version of the SDK includes a new build process in which the OpenFeint libraries are not included in the binary unless you explicitly require them. This dramatically reduces the size of non-OpenFeint app bundles.”

Just one question, can you (or already planning to) extend that feature to include box2d and/or libraries?

#8

I can tell you for sure, we are not going to extend that feature to the physics engine as that is now ‘core’ to Corona.

Other libraries will be on a case by case basis.
