#GIDEROS BASICS ANDROID#

The only drawback is that in the Gideros Studio IDE it's a bit tedious to switch between IP's of the devices. Android Game Development students also learn Unity Game Design 2D Game Development Game Development Fundamentals Android Studio Godot LibGDX Java Game. Plus they say it has a OOP approach, which I assume will help me since I'm used to a class based system from Java. This first basic example shows a moving sprite one pixel to the right at each frame. One of the best features of Gideros is that you can instant test your project on a device. But is closed source with no community plugins/addons. But, by now you have learned all the basics that you need to create a game using Gideros. I think I have narrowed down the SDKs to Corona and Gideros.Ĭorona just seems like a lovely package with lots of resources and such, seems great for a beginner. Now the game itself is far from finished. So as a first project I'm going to translate my Android calculator apps into LUA to help me get started with the language, then re-release them on PLAY and now also iTunes. I've never done anything with physics or major animations. Also, Debugging and tweaking are very easy.

Easy to understand documentation is available for an explanation of every small topic. High-quality audio and visual effects ease the game development and help in delivering a quality gaming experience.

#GIDEROS BASICS INSTALL#

We will need to download the latest version of Gideros designed specifically for your operating system, install it, create a project with some test code, and run it on both a computer and your mobile device. The app developed can be easily shared between PC, web, and mobile platforms. I've made some specialized calculators for Android, and PC based simple projects with Java in Uni. The first thing we will do before building our application using Gideros is, setting up the environment and trying it out. I'm a novice programmer, which mainly only experience in Java. LOVE is only PC and MOAI seems a little too much for a beginner. I have done searches and spent hours browsing similar topics. Optimizing a basic Bezier curve class for better performance by selectively reducing point counts while. so that this class can be imported by 'geom.After searching and browsing I've come to the conclusion that LUA looks like a good language to learn for a beginner into making games. Implementing a better Bezier class in Gideros. Self:setLength(math.min(maxLength,self:getLength())) return a new vector that is perpendicular to this vector

#GIDEROS BASICS HOW TO#

determine if the given vector is to the right (+1) or to the left (-1) Gideros debugging tutorial demonstrates how to configure and use debugging with Gideros SDK by showing Watch view, remote console, updating variables.

Return math.sqrt(self:getSquareDistance(v2)) If you keep learning some basic concepts of lua and mobile game development, Im strongly recommend you to use Corona. get the distance of the given vector from this vector Ported to Lua from Keith Peter's AS3 Vector2D Gideros is a Lua based framework from Gideros Mobile, a company based in Turkey.

#GIDEROS BASICS CODE#

Porting Vector2D.as to a was almost as easy as copy-pasting. In this article, we shall look at Gideros and understand the basics. Clean OOP approach Gideros provides its own class system on top of Lua with all the basic OOP standards, enabling you to write clean and reusable code for. I don’t know if Lua has a built-in Vector class, maybe it does but as part of the learning process, I wrote one myself. You can get the original, fully commented AS3 code from įirst, the Vector2D.

I haven’t fully understood Lua so these code might look bad in the eyes of Lua experts 🙂 but at least it works. Here are some code from Keith Peter’s book, Advanced AS3 animations, in Lua. In order to get a better understanding about the SDK and Lua in general, I decided to port some AS3 code. Today I had a chance to play with Gideros SDK.
