Title: Anyone tried Corona?
Post by: Omadan on 2015-Jun-15
Hi have just stumbled upon Corona SDK, it seems quite good to me for 2D, which is what I will continue doing to be honest.

Before I jump there, has anyone tried it, what do you think of this SDK. And it has in-app, which is a must for me moving further.

Thanks guys.

What I'll probably do is use GLBasic for my old projects, the code is there, why re-write, and perhaps use Corona for new projects.

If you like LUA, then its as good as any...  I haven't tried it myself, especially as Windows support isn't available yet (and especially not Linux).

Yes I have been looking into Lua. Bought Roberto Ierusalimschy's book, Lua's author.

I really find its syntax a bit weird but I am slowly getting used to it, and once you surpass that stage, it seems quite simple. Not much to it really.

Regards

It is Brazillian stuff, weird is the least of things. :P

Its certainly preferable over Java!  Probably faster too!
