porting a c++ board game

Getting Started Tell Us About Yourself
#1

Hi,

I’ll be porting over a ios board game written using the dragonfiresdk.  Shouldn’t be too hard, I’ve got all the code.  lol.  

Just wanted to know if there are any resources that would help make the transition.

Thanks,

Joe

Hi Joe,

Welcome to Corona! Are you familiar with programming in Lua, or is that entirely new to you? The best place to begin is at Corona University where we have many tutorials, guides, and videos on how to get started with Corona SDK, among countless other topics:

Thanks.  So far so good.  It seems like cpp+ and lua are slightly similar in appearance.

I’ve got a bunch of functions that I’ll pull out and test one by one.

I think that, depending on your skill level, it should definitely be possible to port over / rewrite each function or module in order to get a working game in Lua. Let us know if you hit any speed bumps.
