Top 5 most wanted features

  1. AdMob or adWhirl
  2. Game Center
  3. Time-based physics
  4. iAd
  5. Improvements to Corona debugger [import]uid: 30197 topic_id: 18265 reply_id: 74524[/import]

What about providing a command line interface for building apps?

This would save all of us hours of time performing builds not to mention the time saved by less mistakes for things like mistyping version numbers or package names…

Surely this is actually very low effort since I’m assuming Ansca does this internally? [import]uid: 60648 topic_id: 18265 reply_id: 74990[/import]

I’d love to see command line building, it’s such a small thing, but it would enable better integration into IDEs, testing, versioning, tools. I think the entire development ecosystem would really blossom if we had that. [import]uid: 11757 topic_id: 18265 reply_id: 74997[/import]

1- Game Center
2- Physics Improvements

Android C2DM (Cloud To Device Messaging) since we now have iOS Push Notifications.

I hope this doesn’t turn into a Android map view scenario… I have a hard time explaining why Google Maps isn’t available on a Google Phone. [import]uid: 11393 topic_id: 18265 reply_id: 77476[/import]

Was there ever a summary of the most requested features or an updated roadmap based on this thread published?

Really want to know if my requested feature is being considered or not. [import]uid: 62323 topic_id: 18265 reply_id: 78961[/import]

mbrennan,

Here it is.

  1. MapView support (Android)
    Glad to see it’s being worked on! [import]uid: 112807 topic_id: 18265 reply_id: 81306[/import]

Inneractive (fullscreen ads) - please allow us to set the background color/alpha where the fullscreen ads are to be displayed.

Before the fullscreen banner ads are loaded on screen, a solid-white covers up the entire screen, long enough for users to think that the game has crashed and possibly press home button to exit the game before ads ever show up on screen. I suspect the delay/load time would even be longer when the real fullscreen ads are deployed (which is, apparently, scheduled to occur in a couple of weeks).

If the background is transparent (rather than solid-white), we could display something nice while the ads are being loaded, making it a much better experience. If not transparent, but if we could at least set the background color, the experience wouldn’t be as disruptive and jarring.

I hope this isn’t too hard to implement…

+1 to cleaning up the Inneractive API (and ads in general) [import]uid: 120 topic_id: 18265 reply_id: 81361[/import]

+1 to cleaning up the Inneractive API

Specifically please return the ad width, height when we call ads.show(). Even better, fix the full screen ad so it doesn’t hang the app 50% of the time. [import]uid: 16734 topic_id: 18265 reply_id: 81366[/import]

+1 In-App Purchase for Android
+1 Better Inneractive API

For my needs it would be most important to be able to predictably set the size of banner ads.

+1 on improvements to inneractive…

@Ansca,

Are you seeing a strong trend here? Please clean up Inneractive ads.

Thanks! [import]uid: 16734 topic_id: 18265 reply_id: 81538[/import]

>>Corona’s current debugger is so outdated that it’s almost always less time-consuming to use print statements. <<

+100 to that.
Its taken me 6 weeks to notice that one even existed, and now that I found it, its like being back in 1979.
I love being able to build for iPad. But I so want to be able to single step… [import]uid: 108660 topic_id: 18265 reply_id: 81541[/import]

  1. In-App Purchase support for Android
  2. Push Notifications
  3. Admob
  4. Google Analytics
  5. Improvements to Physics API (friendlier collisions, etc.)

thanks!

I’d love to see Camera objects overlays (video, camera). [import]uid: 112807 topic_id: 18265 reply_id: 84044[/import]

I hope I haven’t missed these as existing features.

  • Text and object drop shadow
  • Filters like overlay, multiply, subtract
  • Masks

Basically just some of the stuff Flash already does. Although if I had to guess, I’d imagine that type of thing is very processor intensive… [import]uid: 60144 topic_id: 18265 reply_id: 85218[/import]

@ illustrationism:

You can actually already mask objects:
