Hi jagguy999,
Yes, clicking with the mouse simulates a touch event.

OK what about movement direction?
How do I get a sprite to move in 4 different directions? up/down/left and right?
or a space invader game that moves left/right and fires? How does corona handle this? I saw a multi touch option but that doesnt work with all phones.

This has a d pad you can try out for up/down/left/right: http://techority.com/2011/05/01/using-sprites-in-your-corona-iphone-application/
You could also consider a joystick which we have code for in the code exchange

well that is quite easy I have to say.
Actionscript 3 takes a lot more coding to get that working, and so does android sdk.
Why is Corona sdk that good? [import]uid: 138547 topic_id: 24242 reply_id: 98207[/import]
I guess perhaps because the idea behind Corona is to make development faster and easier. “Code less, play more” [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 24242 reply_id: 98218[/import]
