Ex corona sdk

Unknown

Hi, so here I am, with only corona experience.
Do y'all think I might be able to handle this?

You'll find that they both share similar concepts, but I think Gideros has a much cleaner API and also it's faster. Gideros on the other side is missing a few things like video playback or native interface but there are plugins around that close that gap, at least on iOS (have a look for Hot Wax)

You're going to love the fast turnaround of testing directly on device!

Hi Joanne, two frameworks are similar in the sense that they both use Lua as the language of choice. You'll be interested to see that Gideros has a wifi testing opportunity, a clean and consistent API, ability to extend the framework with plugins, a lively forum with many helpful people and more.

Here's a shameless copy from one of Arturs' post to give you an idea of where to start:

So, if you have developed in mobile using a Lua framework - YES YOU CAN HANDLE THIS (ops caps)

Hi @Joanne - yeah, no worries, they're very helpful round here.

Hi @Joanne, we switched from Corona to Gideros about 5 months ago and have found it be more robust and reliable. The learning curve was very quick, about 1 - 2 of playing around and looking at examples to get up to speed from Corona.

Also, you'll find the class system that Gideros uses is very clean and the .lua files we find are generally cleaner that ours were with Corona... but that's just our experience

@gingerbreadkids I 100 % agree with you.
