i can find 300 post with people how think exactly like me, and the answers  its always the same, look on the forum, well on the forum is not the answer. and the  difference  with me is  the other people just go away. but i was to tying to make the people on this community reales of this situation, if you don’t want to help its fine, but its more rude to answer. look for the  answers on the forum,  because, if some one take the time to ask, its because probably its trying so hard to find the answer  without   success., its my second post, i been reading this forum for almost one year, and almost 50% of the question are  without  answers  , and yes i was rude, i never in mi life was rude with people on forums. but i was trying to see if the people  prefer  fight to help, and the  answer  its yes. you guys prefer fight with some one how its trying to study, but when the same person ask for help no one  comment  and answer. 

thanks and sorry if i was rude but some time its  frustration.

pd : thanks a lot  Jstrahan!  i go to see that,  because i find this ( camera = display.newGroup()) but not work for me.so probably that work thank for your time and your good intention to help me.

your welcome
now with that said in future if you want help ask nicely and you’ll get more help. if someone doesn’t answer that mean either no knows the answer. or your question was missed. I’ve been here from close to the beginning and have several questions unanswered. but instead of getting upset about I kept doing research. it is frustrating when someone asks a question that can be easily found as your camera question. it took me about 10 seconds to find. although your question above was not directed at me personally it felt as if it was and I wanted to respond as everyone else but in the end I decided to just give the answer and state how easy it was to find
now to answer your new question. most code in the code exchange is for gpx1.0 corona now uses gpx2.0 so you will need to go though it and make the required changes. there’s a migration guide in the online guides that tells what changes need to be made. hope this helps and in the future please have a little more respect for others who give their time freely

As with jstrahan I’ve been here for over 3 years and I take the most joy in answering those posts which have 0 replies - especially the physics questions. However, I’ve only got so much time in the day and I only know so many answers. So, when there are posts which only someone with my particular experience in a particular field go unanswered its because there is no-one to answer at that time. As you can see, the “recent” posts are listed in chronological order and if no-one answers for a while they can easily be lost inside a few short hours.

Well thanks again i dont know yet if its go to work or not(all the link are bad,  the code its old,and i  see that link before i make the question), but you give me an answer and i  appreciated that, its  different  to say look on the forum to give some one a answer. like if the person how its making the question was stupid or something. i help people every day in forums about stock market, and i answer the same question alll the time. because i know how  frustrating  is when you start with something. about my question i think its not rude at all. my first question was normal and i think i was nice. but i have a bad answer like other 500 people in the forum i jus get really frustrate about it.  i  appreciated  your help and i can now go away like horacebury  suggest,. how is the rude? i dont think i make a bad question.but at the end i can have some  attention  and that was my intention

its never bad to help some one. and when i can help some one with corona i go to do it. i like help people. if i now the answer.

THANKS AGAIN.

Pd: I love corona and i love the people here,  i go to start paying for pro when i get ready… i bought all the courses and i have the decision to learn. but if some time  some one ask a basic simple question and if you dont know the answer or you know the answer but you dont want to help pls, dont tell him look on the forums. its just rude.

Well i solved by my self,  and i go to SHARE the code if some one its starting like me and dosent now how do it.

Is really simple. 

– create a group–

local game = display.newGroup( )

–insert the objects on the group.–

game:insert(suelo)

game:insert(ninja)

–create a simple  function  based on what you wan to do, in this case i want to  fallow  my character with the camera. you can also make camera movements like showing all the level for example –

 function loop( )

    

    game.x = 160 - ninja.x

end

– and the last step its create a listener with enterFrame—

 Runtime:addEventListener( “enterFrame”, loop )

this was really easy!

ok good code  every  one!

Yes, I always find that I eventually work the answer out myself if I start my questions with an accusation against the very people I’m asking for help from.
