Newbie need some guidence

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi all,

I have downloaded Corona in an attempt to create some interactive illustrations for childrens educational purposes.

I am a professional graphics artist for 12 years now but all this scripting and code is new to me and I haven’t coded since the Amiga days (i know I’m old lol)

I am after doing some cool animated illustrations that people can interact with using ipad/iphone gestures (pinch, swipe, poke etc)

This would involve (I should imagine) placing graphics and doing animation (translation, scale, rotation etc) and then calling different animations depending on if a user swipes, touches or drags his/her finger)

Thing is I’m in the dark as to where to start coding this up, I guess placing a few images down and doing some simple animation would be a good starting point,

Any help will be greatly appreciated. [import]uid: 72837 topic_id: 11820 reply_id: 311820[/import]

Check out the samples provided on this website. They’ll help you learn some of the image manipulation and UI code. [import]uid: 26769 topic_id: 11820 reply_id: 43083[/import]

The sample code is great. For doing interactive eBooks, you might want to check out SpriteDeck. And there’s also the motherload of corona tutorials here: www.learningcorona.com [import]uid: 10211 topic_id: 11820 reply_id: 43093[/import]

That’s the first part of a series I did (also mentioned on learningcorona.com) which addresses some basic image stuff :slight_smile:
