Summary

This chapter discussed parts of Lua programming that will send you on your way to start creating your own apps in Corona. As you continue working with Lua, you'll start understanding the terminology better. Eventually you'll find new programming solutions that will benefit your development process.

The following are some skills you learned so far:

There was definitely a lot to take in in this section. There is still a handful of information on Lua that we didn't get to touch base on but you have learned enough to get you started. For more information on programming in Lua, you can refer to http://www.lua.org/pil/index.html or the resources section on the Corona website at http://www.anscamobile.com/resources/.

In the next chapter, we'll start making our very first game called Breakout! You'll get some hands-on experience of creating a game framework in Corona and applying all the necessary assets to develop a mobile game. You'll be surprised at how fast and simple it is to create one.
