No coding experience?

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

I have no coding experience whatsoever, how can I learn to make games using corona if I do not know how to code? Any easy ways to learn?

#2

You could go and check out these guys.

They make templates that are easy to understand and they explain each line of code! And if you are having trouble with something or want a template made you can contact them via email.!

Good Luck!

As with everything: start small and learn to use the documentation and forum.

For instance:

  1. Learn how to put an image of a button on the screen

  2. Learn how to play a sound when you press the button

  3. Learn how to create a moving image on the screen

  4. Learn how to make the moving image “jump” when you push a button.

  5. Learn how to add enemies and check for a collision.

And so on. All projects start small!

Speaking as someone with a similar experience there are a few things you should learn that are useful and can help piece together bigger things:

-event listeners

-displaying objects/images

-tables

-buttons

-functions

-using composer

-scope

The documentation with corona is pretty good in my experience and the APIs etc are easy to pic up. Lua is great too as a language if you ask me, pretty intuitive and not messy with its syntax.
