Welcome Corona - a somewhat different "Hello World!"
Posted on Wed, 2010-02-03 04:33
Hello!
According to my impressions, a simple "Hello World!" is neither adequate for an iPhone nor for the Corona SDK - thus, I spent a little time and wrote *my* version of "Hello World!" (and found several bugs in the SDK, but that's a different issue)
As the example contains code plus other assets, the example is not available from this forum but from my web site: just visit http://www.andreas-rozek.de/iPhone/Welcome_en.html for everyting you need.
Hopefully you will have some fun (as I had ;-) )
Kind regards,
Andreas Rozek

Carlos,
thanks for the plaudit!
By the way: do you have a larger version of the Corona icon? By sizing the 57x57 pixel version up, the image quality is heavily degraded. However, if I would have a larger version...(a simple URL would be sufficient) ;-)
Thanks in advance!

Nice work, that's a big HelloWorld !
One thing that bothers me is the white text on dark background. It's readable, but black-on-white would be better. And it'd be less intimidating/geeky ;)

Hmmm,
I just found a problem: if I switch off my device while the final alert is shown, and then switch it on again, it is impossible to replay the presentation again - the alert just vanishes showing the final iPad page, but nothing else is happening...
[Edit]I just found out, that I am also unable to terminate the program using the alert's buttons - it seems as if either no events are sent or those events aren't properly caught
Does anybody have an idea why?
Thanks in advance for any hint!

Tom,
you think white-on-black looks intimidating? Hmm, and I prefer it that way round, because otherwise the white background dazzles me...
Could we find a compromise? (No, not grey-on-gray, but probably gray-on-black or black-on-gray...)
Kind regards,
Andreas Rozek
