Credits (Virtual Currency)

Overview

Super Rewards is a service that allows developers to add monetization features into their app via offer-based virtual currency. Implementing Super Rewards in a Corona app is fast and easy. In a nutshell, this is how Super Rewards works:

  • Developer offers in-app items (or levels, etc) available for "purchase" using your own in-game (fake) currency (e.g. "credits").
  • Developer sets up their app in the Super Rewards backend to get an App ID, and also to determine how much real money their in-game currency units are worth.
  • When a user of the app wants to earn more credits, they complete offers presented to them by Super Rewards (in your app). When they complete the offer, they are rewarded with in-game credits that they can use to purchase in-app items.
  • The developer earns money whenever a user completes an offer within their app.

In order to use the Credits API, you'll need to activate your user account with SuperRewards by going to http://developer.anscamobile.com/credits and filling out your information.

Note: Adding "require credits" to your code will enable Corona Launchpad regardless of the setting in config.lua.
