Game Development with the Corona SDK

If you want to build high performance 2D games for iOS and Android devices, you owe it to yourself to give the Corona Software Development Kit a try. With a built-in Box2D physics engine, native sprite sheet support, and a raft of social and analytics APIs, Corona makes developing games almost as much fun as playing them.

Attend our free Wednesday evening event where you'll learn about the features of Corona, its strengths and weaknesses, and how to get started with Corona. This session will include an overview of the Lua programming language, IDE options and third-party tools, and some of the more interesting APIs/capabilities of Corona. Attendees will leave with an understanding of the capabilities of Corona and where to get started developing games and apps using the Corona SDK.

What you will learn

• Features of the Corona SDK that make it an excellent choice for cross-platform 2-D game development
• Strengths and weaknesses of the Corona SDK
• Introduction to the Lua programming language, which is used by Corona
• Options for setting up your Corona development workflow (IDEs, third-party tools to make your life easier).
