New Video Tutorials for Complete Beginners

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi all,

If you’re new to Corona and programming and looking to get started, feel free to have a look at a video tutorial series I’ve just created.

The app that you will create features how to add graphics, change screens, create a menu and scroll content.

It’s aimed for complete beginners so it goes from scratch. The videos explain programming basics, like variables, functions and if statements.

The app you will create uses the popular Director class for changing screens. It also explains the scroll content files from the sample source code.

Hope everyone enjoys and learns something!

The file director.lua used in the videos was created by Ricardo Rauber http://rauberlabs.blogspot.com/ Ricardo’s class makes changing screens make sense and full credit to his awesome code.

Likewise to Gilbert, your code is fantastic, many samples require a decent tutorial but the ones you create do not. Awesome. Thanks for your scrolling code.

Is there someplace we can get your image files to make the tutorials work? Otherwise…great tutorials! Thanks. [import]uid: 20690 topic_id: 13334 reply_id: 51176[/import]

Hi there,

I’ve been meaning to start a GitHub and place all the files there and on the Code Exchange. Just need to still go through all the steps to actually create a GitHub. Then all the files/images will be available for sure. Thanks for the kind words about the tutorials :slight_smile:
