Under Construction

As of now I am beginning my journey in developing Solar Escape and I will be using this blog as a means of keeping track of my progress.

NOTES ON SE IN CORONA SDK

Struggles of Lua

  • Why is it so annoying to try and iterate through a table of objects in lua without having to refer to each object in the table as pairs?????
  • There are groups that you can use to iterate through objects but there are issues with the physics which is really annoying.







Objectives

  • Find a way to iterate through a table of objects similar to how I do with sprite groups in pygame (found a somewhat efficient way)
  • Display a timer in the top-right corner of the screen (DONE)
  • Increase the speed of the rocks with time
  • Use Textpacker to do animations (minimizes the amount of memory that the images take up)
  • Find an easy method of doing animations in corona
  • put comets into the game
  • apply animations to comets
  • try to understand events better (especially runtime events)
  • Once I get comets into the game, do an SEinsider update
