"Corona is designed to enable super-fast development. Our elegant APIs make adding complex features easy, our workflow lets you see changes instantly, and you develop in Lua, a fast and easy-to-learn language."
oh god this is my dream come true
ANDROID + IOS ALL IN LUA ====== we must evacuate to corona labs and start making some apps cuz lua is too easy for us
But seriously, I will be investigating into this...
what are your ideas on this AWESOMENESs?!?!?!? |

Cool. (Not really, it's been done before) I guess they are prejudiced against Windows phones though, huh? |

I thought that Cocos2d-x had this capability.
No, it does not, it still requires C.
their website lies
thanks for telling me

Lua is a crap language, why would anyone want to develop in it? |

lua is easy, simple, and most of all.............. AWESOMEEEEEEEE!
um yah like all games on roblox run on lua so like BAM! WOT! |
|
|
That's because no other languages are available on Roblox. |
|
|
Actually Roblox itself is done in C++, but of course for developing they give us Lua. Most of the hard work is done in C++ though. |

No, it's probably C#. C++ is used for 2D game development.

precisely why i posted this thread! - c++ is *hard*, well its easy if you learn it, but its more complicated than lua. and simple > complex (in some situations) |
|
|
Is that sarcasm?
Lua is implemented in C (Unless you get a modified version), and Direct3D is only supported in C++ currently, so I would say C++ is better for game development anyways. |
|
|
|
We used something like this in my introductory computer science course a few years back. There are plenty of software development kits like it. |
|
|
@Darkenus
So what? There are other simple languages that aren't complete crap. |
|
|
"o, it's probably C#. C++ is used for 2D game development."
oh my god you're super dumb
c# can make 2d games too, and c++ can also make 3d games (*cough* unreal engine)
a programming language does not restrict its graphics. it's environment does, however.
you underestimate the power of the dank side |

C# is just C++ without having to manually manage all of the memory. |

Well the thing is, a lot of us in the Scripters forum know Lua.
And for like *years* we've been using for one purpose: Roblox Development - whether it be a hobby, or to make games.
Now, with this cool kit, we can keep our knowledge and continue expanding it - without having to learn a whole new language.
It also allows us to practice Lua in different ways.
I think it's awesome - and I'm sure I'll be researching more and more into it now! |
|
|
uh no darkenus, the scripters forum got really bored of lua a long time ago and started going beyond and thus learning more.
you underestimate the power of the dank side |

Oh rlly m8.
Then how is ~80%+ of the Scripters forum Lua related?
also, im sure you guys know a lot of other languages, but you still do know Lua - as its too simple to forget |
|
|
Sure, all of us know lua, but most of us don't give a crap about it anymore but still know how to do stuff in it
you underestimate the power of the dank side |

"Lua is a powerful, fast, lightweight, embeddable scripting language."
- Lua website
|
|
|
Yeah, cpmoderator speaks for all of us when he says that (~15% actually, I would guess) |
|
|
I'd rather use Love2D as the new version has come out with ports to android and iOS so mobile development with Love2D yay. |
