My way of learning LUA using Corona SDK by making a game with memes. I wanted to learn some LUA for a long time (back in 2017) and what's more fun than learning something by making a game? Well, making a game with memes of course. That was the time where memes on instagram went banans and i took the opportunity to make a game about it. I also got the chance to monetize it, but don't even ask how much i made please. Corona was used just as framework as 100% of the code is made in LUA.
This project was then published both on iOS store and Google Play Store, giving me the opportunity to learn the process of signing, verifying and posting applications on their relative store. The process of publishing and app is a different story than just coding it and i personally think it's a very important part to leran in advance for whoever wishes to become either an indie developer or someone that will care about production.
About Corona: Corona is a cross-platform framework ideal for rapidly creating apps and games for mobile devices and desktop systems. That means you can create your project once and publish it to multiple types of devices, including Apple iPhone and iPad, Android phones and tablets, Amazon Fire, Mac Desktop, Windows Desktop, and even connected TVs such as Apple TV, Fire TV, and Android TV.
Keep in mind this project is done and no longer supported. Many things could have been done differently and way better, but that's the way i learned.
