Because it tells you where to put things…
Rob
I went over it more than 10 times and i still don’t know where to put everything .
Have you looked at this?

Add everything in one by one … Make sure everything is working.

Yes I did i took my times with it more than 10 times and i still don’t know where to put anything. That’s what i’m doing and i still don’t know where to put not one function .
Hmm can you post the code you want redone?

Read the game.lua template. It’s commented heavily saying where to put things. But to repeat the tutorials:
-- top if scene file -- local composer = require( "composer" ) local scene = composer.newScene() -- put your other require's here and create the scene local json = require( "json" ) -- put any forward declared variables here: local score = 0 local level = 1 -- put any functions that need to be used throughout the app. -- put them in the reverse order they are accessed. In other words if -- function A calls function B, function B needs to be declared before function A or it has to be forward declared -- -- You put your functions here -- local function incrementLevel() level = level + 1 end -- -- now declare the scene's events -- function scene:create( event ) ... end function scene:show( event ) ... end function scene:hide( event ) ... end function scene:destroy( event ) ... end -- define the event handlers scene:addEventListener( "create", scene ) scene:addEventListener( "show", scene ) scene:addEventListener( "hide", scene ) scene:addEventListener( "destroy", scene ) -- -- return the required object -- return scenefunction scene:exitScene(event) end function scene:destroyScene(event) end scene:addEventListener("createScene", scene) scene:addEventListener("enterScene", scene) scene:addEventListener("exitScene", scene) scene:addEventListener("destroyScene", scene)
This is all “Storyboard” code. It is not Composer code.
Composer code uses these functions:
function scene:create( event ) ... end function scene:show( event ) ... end function scene:hide( event ) ... end function scene:destroy( event ) ... end -- define the event handlers scene:addEventListener( "create", scene ) scene:addEventListener( "show", scene ) scene:addEventListener( "hide", scene ) scene:addEventListener( "destroy", scene ) -- -- return the required object -- return scene
You can either use Composer or you can use Storyboard, but you can’t mix them.
Rob
So I can still use storyboard for my project ?
Yes. Back like the 3rd post in this thread from RoamingGamer, he said exactly what you need to do to keep using Storyboard, but to save you time:
-
Go to: http://github.com/coronalabs/framework-storyboard-legacy
-
Download it.
-
Copy the storyboard.lua to your project in the same folder as your main.lua
That’s it. You can keep using storyboard.
Rob
But when i run it i just get a black screen
What errors? Please copy/paste them here for us to see? What line number is it say it’s happening on? Post the code around that line too.
Rob
Sorry I didn’t mean to put errors i just get a black screen when i run it in the simulator
You’re getting errors. There should be a console window with text messages. There should be more information there.
Rob
This is what it tells me
What does the first line say?
What were my instructions a couple of posts ago? You have to go to our github site, download the old storyboard code and put storyboard.lua in the same folder with your main.lua.
This message says you have not done this yet.
Rob
I’m still getting the same error
Put the entire code right ?
I think it’s not working because you are just putting code in a blender and then throwing it at the simulator and trying to make it work… You need to start from scratch.
