Corona Geek #133 – Game Dev, Part 5 – Continuous Hallways, Particle Effects, and Game Restarting

Corona Geek

During last week’s Hangout we continued our endless runner game development series. We added a player object, added touch inputs, and created camera movement. At the end of the Hangout we had a playable game with moving zig zag walls, a player, and the ability to move around.

This week we added code to handle continuous hallway generation, memory cleanup, and game restarting when the player runs into a wall. We also added particle effects to our player to give the game some extra flare.

Each week we are adding new pieces to our game. Download the code from the repo and follow along.

    I ran the code from repo and get nothing but errors. “file does not exist errors or missing or check case of file. “

    –local ced = require “scripts.caseErrorDetect”
    –ced.promoteToError()

    Got it to work after commenting the first two lines out.
