Simulator improvement

Hi, the lack of support for accelerator in the simulator is a pain, specially when developing games that uses this as for steering.

Wouldn’t it be possible to bind some keys on the keyboard to react like tilting the device?

You could also buy Corona Ultimote for 16.99. Watch the video, this will help with quick testing.

Question regarding your app:

  1. Does it override the simulator - so that I don’t have to do any code changes regarding signals from hardware?

  2. No tryout app? I wouldn’t say that it is expensive, but I prefer to test things before I buy.

I’m sorry but it’s not my app. Try contacting them on their website, it’s by M.Y. Developers. [import]uid: 23689 topic_id: 19517 reply_id: 75505[/import]

No, I’m sorry :slight_smile:

*Bump*, Danny any news on this - it would really help me in my development!

Best regards, Joakim

I’d be interested in this as well…I was interested in building a test game that uses device rotation as the control scheme…but I can’t test it, because I want to build the app before I buy the SDK (I’m taking Lua programming as a class this semester…liking what I see with Corona so far) [import]uid: 108310 topic_id: 19517 reply_id: 81159[/import]

You can build your game and test it on a device with your unlimited trial license. You just can’t publish it.
It would be a pain for an accelerometer based game though. One way around it would be to build your own fake rotation controls to test with.

Ah…then the question becomes, how do I load it onto my device without publishing it? (Yeah, I am a noob at this…sorry) [import]uid: 108310 topic_id: 19517 reply_id: 81166[/import]

Hopefully you have an Android device to use to test with. It is just soooooooo much simpler.

* Build for Android with the ansca provided debug key.
* Copy the produced apk to the device.
* Install it.

Woot! As chance would have it, I do have (access to) an android…and here I was worried about needing something with iOs on it…Thanks! [import]uid: 108310 topic_id: 19517 reply_id: 81170[/import]

If you have the Android SDK installed and set up properly it’s very simple.

> Plug in your device to USB
> Start a Terminal/Command line session and go to the folder where your APK is and type:

adb install myapp.apk

@jkrassman,
Hello and thanks for your interest in our app! We are looking into getting a demo version out with multitouch only capability. However if you want to evaluate our product please buy the android version, after that we will send you a iOS promo code. If you do not like it then we can refund you the money via google merchant since it is not possible to refund stuff in the iOS app store. As for your questions

1. Does it override the simulator - so that I don’t have to do any code changes regarding signals from hardware?
Yes! All you will need to include is 2 lines of code. It even overrides some system level commands and forwards them to the simulator. We design all of our products for ease of use and simplicity for you the developer.

@MichaelAssadi
Thanks for the referral. Do you have ultimote? We are interested to know how you are liking it and any feedback you might have.

Thanks,
