VOTE : Most wanted sample code

General (non-technical) Off-Topic
#1

Hey guys. I am just curious as to what sample code you would like to see added to the sample code that ships with the Corona SDK?

I am planning on gathering the most popular and sought after requests, then making up samples to suit and they should then make there way into the Corona SDK releases.

Please post your requests here, the more detail the better.

Thanks! [import]uid: 84637 topic_id: 14261 reply_id: 314261[/import]

Universal line drawing game :slight_smile:
Mission Control can’t rotate images correctly and the Flight Path demo is not universal and requires a lot of work to get it to something similar. [import]uid: 10389 topic_id: 14261 reply_id: 52591[/import]

  • zBuffer 2.5D sample (read: OutRun)

was asking myself if it’d be possible to create something like this with corona sdk… [import]uid: 70635 topic_id: 14261 reply_id: 52624[/import]

  • Corona SDK Asset Store ? Like Unity Asset Store !

  • Mega Jump and Doodle Jump.

+++ I hope Carlos - Mobile - Icaza see that. [import]uid: 13454 topic_id: 14261 reply_id: 52717[/import]

These are some of the things I see people ask about quite frequently or other experienced developers often reference new developers to start with.

  • Board games (othello, connect4, Ludo, checkers…)
  • Card games ( Uno, poker…)
  • Dice games
  • Doodle jump, Mega Jump
  • Tetris, Bejeweled, Unblock
  • Widget samples, RSS, xml, json, sqlite, recipe samples apps
  • Maps, breadcrumbs sample,
  • More Facebook samples(access/view photos, view news etc)
  • Weather+Maps, Location based weather
  • Drawing/painting apps
  • Calculator with nativeNumbPad, Calculator with custom numbPad
  • Exchange Rates + Currency converter, Tip calculator
  • Camera samples, Party/Funny Cams etc where you manipulate a photo and add hats, beard etc
  • Decibel meter.
  • Top down racing game
  • Sidescroller motocross/monstertruck game
  • Modulized and memory optimized game.
  • Sqlite and games, save score, update score to scoreboard etc.
  • Text edit apps/Diary apps and save text to sqlite and encrypt db.
  • Split view ipad.
  • Zoom in/out like it does in TinyWings and Angrybirds.
  • Angry birds type of level/world menu

Since there are so many beginners that start learning development with CoronaSDK, I think it would be good if Ansca provided that user segment with more “beginner sample apps” , the next step after Hello World. [import]uid: 13560 topic_id: 14261 reply_id: 52647[/import]

Danny, lano78’s list is pretty good in my book, especially these:

  • Widget samples, RSS, xml, json, sqlite, recipe samples apps
  • Maps, breadcrumbs sample,
  • More Facebook samples(access/view photos, view news etc)
  • Weather+Maps, Location based weather

UPDATE: Found some great code here - exactly what I needed!!

A simple Mega Jump/Doodle Jump example would be nice. :wink:

Though anything is good for inspiration! :smiley: [import]uid: 24111 topic_id: 14261 reply_id: 53098[/import]

Well, as a new beginner with Corona SDK - I really would need a “Game template”. A Complete skeleton with all necessary files laid out in perfect design. Another thing to throw in would be the possibility to have a custom “preload” screen. Instructions how to preload spritesheets, sounds, graphics etc.

Angry birds type of level/world menu (+1)

Having a menu template that is well structured would be very reusable.

#12

Yeah level select template would be nice [import]uid: 71799 topic_id: 14261 reply_id: 55941[/import]

#13

Point reduction / curve fitting (eg. flight control) is something I see requested lots, and would be very useful to include. [import]uid: 49987 topic_id: 14261 reply_id: 55942[/import]

#14

accelerometer & gyroscope low pass filtering [import]uid: 4596 topic_id: 14261 reply_id: 55954[/import]

#15

Bejeweled / Tetris / Puzzle Bobble samples would be great! [import]uid: 40538 topic_id: 14261 reply_id: 60244[/import]

#16

as jkrassman said, a beginning template for a game (ios version with universal build, iphone and ipad, android version). You must search through all the forums to find the right things to add to your config and build.settings file… [import]uid: 44010 topic_id: 14261 reply_id: 60604[/import]

#17

Its included in the latest daily builds :slight_smile: There are four diffrent templates, Blank, App, Game and E-book. To bad, but there seems to be a bug so I cant check the template out.

+1 for that Ansca anyway!!!

I am totally new to Corona and game design. So while I have some programing experience, game aspects are still new to me. I would love to see some samples on basic score keeping and item pick-ups.

Also

  • Sqlite and games, save score, update score to scoreboard etc.
  • Card games ( Uno, poker…)
  • Top down racing game
  • Angry birds type of level/world menu

I dont see why a lot ask for Angry Birds when you have Ghost Vs Monster
and if you want to add worlds and level thats already possible and is not
that hard plus Ghost Vs Monster gives you 2 levels ! I don`t mean to anger
anyone because I know everyone is free to request which sample code
they wish corona to add I just felt like everyone who is asking for Angry Birds
is forgetting the great sample Jonathan Beebe Gave us :wink: GvM

+1 Doodle Jump !!! [import]uid: 30314 topic_id: 14261 reply_id: 65406[/import]
