Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hey there everyone,

My name is Tshirbooth and I’m a hard core GameSalad fanboy.

But i have a game i want to do and just can’t do it in GS yet.
So this weekend ill be rolling up my sleeves and giving Corona a try.

I have zero code background, so I’m sure the transition from GS to corona will be a little tricky for me.
But ill give it a shot and see how i do. If i get stuck i hope my GS background will not prevent you guys from lending me a hand :slight_smile:

Anyways thanks for reading and its time for me to get to work.

cheers

Hey!

I’ve seen lots of your YouTube videos, and I’m actually subscribed to you. You’ve got some pretty cool stuff you’ve made with GS.

I think you’ll find the Corona is *super* easy. You can easily learn the basics within a weekend, and I’m pretty sure its a lot more powerful/flexible vs GS.

Good luck trying it out! :slight_smile: [import]uid: 51654 topic_id: 23121 reply_id: 92436[/import]

Hey Tshirtbooth! I’m not a GS user but I do know who you are :). The games you crank out using GS are very nice and I can only imagine what you will do when you learn corona. Give it a shot, it’s not hard. Plenty of people on this great forum to help you out if you have questions. BTW, I’m curious to know if your GS templates that are for sale will work with other frameworks. I just want the graphics assets :).

You will find the GS background wont be a problem here, we have users using both tools and many of us (myself included as you well know) are ex GS.

I look forward to helping you get to grips with Corona :slight_smile:

Welcome!

@peach maybe you have it backwards, he just left the dark side :slight_smile: [import]uid: 7475 topic_id: 23121 reply_id: 92571[/import]

I think the dark side is more appealing so that’s what I labeled Corona. I could have said “Welcome to the winning team!” but thought that seemed less humble :wink: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 23121 reply_id: 92690[/import]
