Which way do the XY coordinates go?

Games
#1

I bought a mac yesterday and am waiting for the download to go.
Can someone remind me which way the coordinates go on the screen.

Is it:

10  
9  
8  
7 X  
6  
5   
4  
3  
2  
1  
 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

With the “X” being 7,8, or was the Y reversed? [import]uid: 79135 topic_id: 19823 reply_id: 319823[/import]

In the graph you provided, x would be 8 (measured along the bottom), y would be 7.

But in Corona, y runs from the top, not the bottom, so the numbers should get higher as they come down the screen. [import]uid: 64596 topic_id: 19823 reply_id: 76904[/import]

You are right about the co ordinates. What was I thinking… haha

0,0 is in the Top Left corner. Y values increase towards the bottom of the screen, X values increase towards the right side of the screen:

0,0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . display.contentWidth, 0  
.  
.  
.  
.  
.  
display.contentHeight, 0 . . . . . . display.contentWidth, display.contentHeight

Well, to cut the story short Peach…
I made the iphone in illustrator to make demo ui layouts for client apps but then I wrote an article to get some content on my site after I had a server db crash and that image was in the article to illustrate the x/y system. [import]uid: 13560 topic_id: 19823 reply_id: 77299[/import]
