Using "screens." At a dead end. Please help. Warning: This is a "noob" question.

Hi Everyone,

I downloaded a Simon memory game project from GitHub. https://github.com/JesterXL/Memory . A great many of the attributes of the project revolved around the concept of “screens.” It is slowly beginning to make a bit of sense to me. I have used Corona for just under 2 years now, but I’m a Kwik user so my programming skills are quite rudimentary. I have (surprisingly) been able to make a lot of changes to the project’s many .lua files in order to get the desired results. The creator of the GitHub file has been quite helpful, but I don’t want to take advantage of his kindness. He’s not my personal free help desk. So here is where I am completely stumped:

I need to add three pages to the project. I’m cautiously optimistic that if someone can tell me how to do #1 below, I can generalize the knowledge to items 2-4 on my own. Just explain the process like you were talking to a first grade child. :wink:

  1. A intro page that contains a background image along with a graphical “continue” button. The continue button take the user to page #2

  2. Page #2 is the main menu page. It has links to the “game” page, the “about” page, and the “dedication” page.

  3. The “about” page is already in the Github project along with navigation back to the game. Both the game page and the about page have no graphical background (it’s a system generated black background).

  4. The “dedication” page would have its own graphical background and return to menu button.

I clicked on the link above and saw a main.lua and a button.lua. I didn’t see anything scene related.

Are you using Director? Storyboard or did the person build their own scene system?

Thanks for the reply!

He did his own screen system. If you download and unzip the project file, you will see a file folder entitled “com”. The scene files are buried in about 4 subsequent tiers of file folders.
