First Session with Corona Game Development Platform
Before reading this article please note that I don't have any prior experience with Corona SDK or game development . I do have considerable experience in developing applications for Android mobile. I am learning Corona to develop games for Android. To start game development on Windows using Corona SDK, I first installed IntelliJ IDEA 10.0.3 IDE (JDK version is 1.6.0_21) which is about 90mb. I was trying to find support of Corona API on other Java IDE's (particularly Eclipse IDE because I am used to it) but I couldn't find one. Next I installed Lua For Windows which is a complete all-in-one Lua scripting language environment on Windows. Lua is actually a light weight programming language which will be used in development of games. Corona is actually and API built on top of Lua. Then I downloaded Corona SDK from ANSCA Mobile's website. Since I am interested in development on Windows I am downloading Corona SDK for Windows. You have to register on their website befo
