1. Look like corona lol

2. can i use corona with java language

3. Last 4 years : corona . Hell yeah
   2020: social distancing

4. i'm here because i searched corona game

5. for those who can't make this work. The event.phase==begin should read "began" and you need to make sure your images are the same names as his(or that they exist in the folder with main.lua). Further, I ended up having to use actualContentWidth and height for my background image.

6. So this is how the virus started

7. Yeah ain't nobody gonna use that thing again

8. corona haha

9. hmm, nothing commented on the corona virus, quite interesting

10. Corona looks good for 2d. Love your vids Gary – keep them coming. Thanks!

11. Thanks Gary, that was most helpful. Cheers!

12. subscribed

13. Can you do a tutorial for a basic clicker game please? with upgrades? Just got corona and im struggling to get the hang of it.

14. is Corona can connect with android studio

15. Thumbs down for not answering any of the comments when you said you would help.

16. Hi i wanted to know how to make a game like candy crush (Jewel Saga) and
    a rpg games with corona sdk could you create a video for that thanks.

17. Great video.

18. i just followed as you show but when i try to run •
    it's shows this:
    main.lua:65: attempt to call global 'addNewBalloonOrBomb'(a nil value)
    …..
    what sjould i do

19. This video was very helpful. Explained everything in a nutshell. This video encourages to create games with corona. Thank you

20. Nice video Gary, thanks. I have a question – I know a bit of Java and Obj-C, do you think Corona is a good place to start making games or would Stencil be easier/quicker? Basically how do these platforms compare in terms of flexibility vs ease/speed of development?
    Thank you!

21. Mr. Gary >> thank you very much

22. Hi, Gary! Your tutorial was one of the first ones, that helped me in getting started with. I just wanted to say thank-you, now, I have just launched a fun game, using the Corona SDK.

    It's on playstore : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bewtechnologies.eightbitsoccer

    It's my first game, so any reviews/ratings on the app would be appreciated. 🙂

23. Please help me >> C:UsersYatogamixDocumentsCorona ProjectsTestemain.lua:3: Native UI objects on Windows do not support the "hasBackground" property.

24. and yet, no linux support?
    …yeah…

25. good tutorial thank you

26. You dont know how to explain , for me the box to drag dosent appear , if you do another video show where you tipe the code ( i know were you sayd) but do it good ore dont do it at all

27. Instead of event.target:removeSelf() it is better to use display.remove(event.target).
    Display.remove will first check if the object exists before attempting to remove it. If the object doesn´t exist, it does nothing.
    If the object does´t exist when you use removeSelf, the app crashes and burns 🙁

28. How do i add a new object? I want to make another object that it will give more points, I did everything i need same as in balloonn part but i don't know what to do in BallonOrBomb part,how do i write the 3rd object? ( I wrote it in else if part). Tnx

29. So im trying to add sound effects for the popping of balloons and hitting bombs..
    Where do i tell the game to play the sounds, in the ballonTouched(event) or do i need to create anouther event for it?

    Been trying this..

    local function balloonTouched(event)
    if (event.phase == "began") then
    audio.play(balloonPop, optionsBalloonPop);
    Runtime:removeEventListener ("enterFrame", event.self);
    event.target:removeSelf();
    score = score + 1;
    scoreText.text = score;
    end
    end

    Thanks

30. so we just type these set of codes right after each other?

31. So when I have a score of 7, and hit a bomb, it divides to 3. I'm guessing this is because of the data type score is, so how do you make it an number with decimals?

32. main.lua:43: ERROR:table expected if this is a function call you might have used'.' instead of ':'
    stack traceback:
    [C]: in function'addBody'
    main.lua:43: in function 'addBalloonOrBomb'
    main.lua:56: in main chunk

33. Looks a lot of like C/C++.
    Nice video by the way.

34. First

35. Nice guide! You guys should do more of these videos! Maybe i can make a start on creating apps using this tutorial. Thanks! 😊

36. There is an app on google play store called Pocket Code which allows you to create native android apps in a programing language similar to scratch.

37. Dude, shave. Really, I can't concentrate on your video because of your disgusting beard.

38. Love you. (not that way) 😀

39. Make more videos like this.
