In part I of this series, you saw how we made a simple mobile app in the Corona framework that responds to a “bump” like action (called a “thump”) to send a message to another mobile device. The communication between the two mobile devices occurs between an intermediary server process that matches two “thumped” devices by both timestamp and distance. In this tutorial, we will setup the intermediary server process with Ruby on Rails.

In this tutorial, we’re going to launch into a series that will allow two mobile devices to transfer information with a “Bump” gesture. This app will require a combination of client-side and server-side programming, and we’ll cover all the steps to code both aspects. From here on, this app will affectionately be referred to as “Thump.”

Welcome to the final tutorial in our Brick Breaker game series! In this tutorial, we’ll handle the logic for the remaining collisions, check for win and loss states, change levels, and more.

In this tutorial series, we’ll be building a Brick Breaker game from scratch using the Corona SDK. The goal of this game is to control a pong-like paddle to knock a ball against a stack of bricks until they all break.

Welcome to part two of the How to Blow Stuff up With the Corona SDK tutorial series. In this tutorial, we will be enhancing our demo app from part I by allowing the user to place an actual bomb graphic on the screen with a time-delayed explosion. We will aslo modify the explosion effect to occasionally cause crates to actually explode rather than just fly off the screen.

Everyone loves a good physics game, but let’s face it: it’s much more fun when you’re blowing stuff up! This tutorial will show you how to use the Corona physics engine to create explosions in your game.

Although some applications can completely perform in a single view, most of the time you’ll need more than one screen or view to display your app content. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create and switch between different views using Corona.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to take a screenshot of your application and review it in the device photo library.

This project steps through the basics of path finding in the Corona SDK via the A* path finding algorithm, a staple in the game industry since about 1970. This app lets you add obstacles to a 10×10 grid and view the path determined by A*.
