New noob here

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hello everyone,

I am obviously new here and would like to know where and how to start? I have absolute no idea how to code, so was wondering if this is a place for a proper noob like me or look elsewhere?

Many thanks

Well you should start learning the basics from Lua, once you understand how it works there are a few sample codes on the corona sdk folder for you to look and understand.

You need an idea to start creating something, i would recommend you to do a Pong or Space Invaders or something easy like that, there’s plenty of documentation about Lua and Corona, you need to read and practice, and try to understand what you’re doing (not just copy paste other codes, wich is ok also if you understand what it does, since using someone else code could save you some time). 

This website http://docs.coronalabs.com/ has everything you need to know about corona (almost), what you still cant understand you could ask it here, there’s always a guy trying to help.

But if you have 0 idea about Lua either then you should look for some tutorials and stuff, maybe start using Lua+Löve for pc before jumping into android/iOS with Lua+Corona.
