    GiderosCodingEasy Questions :)

    Hi guys,

    I'm new to Gideros and have been exploring the website, forums and samples. I found the helper library GiderosCodingEasy and it seems like it really simplifies the coding process.

    Is this library going to be added to Gideros itself?

    I can't find any documentation on how to use it in detail.

    For example if I wanted to add an animated box2d character, how would I go about it?

    Thank you very much in advance!

    PS. Gideros looks really good and I hope I can get my head around it, so I can use it for app development :)

      Hi guys

      I've been having a look at Movieclips and Box2d but I still can't see how to make them work with the helper library - GiderosCodingEasy.

      Anybody have any idea whether this is possible?

      Hello @Ninjadoodle

      yes unfortunately there is not much of tutorials on GCE currently
      but there is pretty overall ones like this:
      http://appcodingeasy.com/Gideros-Mobile/Animating-Box2d-objects

      In my understanding, you could use movie clip as sprite object used in GCE example provided with the GCE lib :)

      I'm sorry but lots of stuff needed to do, just running through the forum here :)

      Hi thank you for the link :)

      I've been playing with the code a little bit, but when I try to use a movieclip with GCE, I see it appear quickly on screen, then fly off.

      I guess it's not possible to use a movie clip like you would use a bitmap ...

      --place image on screen
      local ball = Bitmap.new("ball.png", true)
      :setPosition("left", "center")

      --create circle based on image
      world:createCircle(ball, {type = "dynamic", draggable = true})

      if anybody knows how you would use a movieclip (if possible) in the above example, that would be awesome!

      @ar2rsawseen Thank you! You rock! Just tried it with a movieclip and it works :)

      This really should be a part of Gideros itself, it makes setting up Box2d much quicker! It also, deserves some tutorials written about it :)

      Thank you again!

      Hi I just tried gideroscodingeasy lib (it's really impressive, it should be included in gideros by default) but I had an issue on Sprite:setPosition() all over my project:

      this one fixed everything, and now I am fine;
      (I don't know if it was a mistype or if it should've been working anyway :) ) @ar2sawseen - thank you for sharing this (and everything else). :)>-

      function Sprite:setPosition(x, y)
      return self:set("x", x), self:set("y", y)
      end
