Mapping between Corona SDK & Gideros API?

marble68

Has anyone done such a mapping? - a breakdown that compares available API?

I think @OzApps was working on a compatibility library as well

@techdojo tell me and where did my link pointed to?
It seems that you simply want to catch up with me on the amount of left comments

techdojo

@ar2rsaween Don't you start, I get enough "post whore" comments already off @Scouser

techdojo

I can't use the monday excuse as it's tuesday so I'll just have to take the slap and admit to not reading your response - guess that's what I get for trying to be helpful

techdojo

As for the comment count, I just can't seem to break a difference of 70 comments, everytime I get close you go and post some more. I guess I'll have to wait till you overtake @GregBUG whilst he's on holiday and then set my sights on him.

@Scouser - now THAT's post whoring!

All this - just to get a shiny badge *sheesh*

marble68

Wow - that's really cool. Considering the price differences between the two platforms... If this really works switching is a *NO BRAINER*.

The one thing that would help ( and the reason for my question) was a batch file or something that would parse C*SDK lua files and insert lines of the corresponding Gideros SDK API as commented code. That way, migrating a project would be easier.

techdojo

If I understand what @OzApps is doing - then you'll not need to insert any code, it should just work. Although seeing as the OOP in Gideros is so much more advanced - I'd be tempted to actually do the conversion by hand, there's some cool code examples on the Corona site, but there's also a lot more examples of badly written lua (just my opinion)!

@techdojo @ar2rsawseen You will never catch me, muuuaaahh

MikeHart

@marble68 The guys are right. Do yourself a favor and learn the API and port it. It is very easy to understand.

@MikeHart challenge accepted.
Wow I just passed @GregBUG, he's now at your mercy @techdojo )

techdojo

The race is on... @GregBUG - I hope your posting fingers are nice and rested during your holiday, 'cause your gonna need em!

@MikeHart - that's cause some of us have day-job's and are not living the "indie dream", I already spend more "work time" than is probably safe on here - just don't tell my boss!

MikeHart

@techdojo same here.

Scouser

@ar2rsawseen, @techdojo & @MikeHart you 3 should all get a room at Relax Cafe and keep your post whoring in there or ask @Gorkem to create a post whore thread just to get your numbers up

techdojo

@Scouser what about @GregBUG can't leave him out can we?

Scouser

He's on holiday, I don't think he even knows there is a race going on.

techdojo

But's he's posted some pic's from the beach so he must have internet access somewhere, besides - "you snooze, you loose!"
