Send user to my app in the app store

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hello all,

I’m working on game #2, which is a free game that I’d like to use to also promote my other game, “Hero the Hamster” (a well-received puzzle game, check it out!).

I’d like to be able to send the user to Hero the Hamster in the app store directly from a button in the game.

I don’t need anything fancy, like staying in the game; I just want to open up the app store and display Hero the Hamster for them to purchase/look at.

Can someone direct me to a thread or code?  I can’t seem to find any.

Thanks,

Dane

Look at native.showPopup() and there is an appStore option where you can pass in information about the app you want.  You can tie triggering that native.showPopup() to a button or an icon of your app.

Thanks.

Looks easy enough.

I had taken a hiatus from programming (and corona membership) but my game is almost ready and I’m thrilled to be back.
