From the Store

We have a few exciting new plugins available on the Corona Store: Collision calculation made simple, a 2D vector math library, and a module for time-based animations.

Please visit the store to activate plugins, or to submit a plugin yourself.

1. Collision Calculator

By Roaming Gamer
This plugin allows users to generate a calculator ‘object’ that then allows them to easily configure collisions using names instead of numbers.


-- Easily set up collision filters with a Roaming Gamer Collision Calculator
local myCC = ccmgr.newCalculator()

-- Name our objects
myCC:addNames( "block", "redBall", "greenBall" )

-- Make red balls collide with blocks and green balls
myCC:collidesWith( "redBall", { "block", "greenBall" } )

-- Easily set up collision filters with a Roaming Gamer Collision Calculator

local myCC = ccmgr.newCalculator()

-- Name our objects

myCC:addNames( "block", "redBall", "greenBall" )

-- Make red balls collide with blocks and green balls

myCC:collidesWith( "redBall", { "block", "greenBall" } )

Check it out on the Corona Store.

2. Math2d

By Roaming Gamer
The math2d plugin provides a set of standard 2d vector math operations, including: addition, subtraction, difference, dot, cross, angle2Vector, vector2Angle, length, squared length, and normalize.

Check it out on the Corona Store.

3. deltatime

By Julian Vidal
deltaTime is a plugin that allows developers to turn regular animations into time-based animations that will play back at the same speed regardless of framerate variations.

Check it out on the Corona Store.
