Hangout Highlights – Creating Motorized Wheeled Carts
Last week on Corona Geek Hangout 148, we stepped through the concepts and source code to create a motorized wheeled cart using pivot joints and Corona's built in physics engine. We also explored applying torque and gravity to the cart to get some interesting effects. Here are clips to help you catch up. Download the examples from the Hangout to see how everything works. ...

Corona Geek #81 – Using applyForce, applyTorque, and HTML5
During this week's Corona Geek Hangout we discussed concepts from the Physics API like applyForce and applyTorque. Roaming Gamer's Ed Maurina stepped us through examples of each concept and explained how they affect game objects. Spiral Code Studio's Sergey Lerg also walked us through how he ported his Cubic Run LD game code to HTML5 using Corona SDK....

Corona Geek #53 – Make Rain and Lightning in Corona SDK
During this week's Corona Geek, it almost literally rained cats and dogs during the rain and lightning code snippet walkthroughs. We walked through a great piece of code by Corona Ambassador Volodymr Sergeyev, that showed how to create and recycle objects to simulate rain. Ed Maurina modified that code on the fly and the results will make you laugh out loud....

Corona Geek #52 – Making a Character Jump in Corona SDK
During this week's Corona Geek Ed Maurina, developer of Corona SDK game templates at Roaming Gamer, walked us through a Corona SDK code snippet that makes your game characters jump. Using Corona's built in physics engine, we applied force to a single character and then added a second character to show how easy it is to handle touch events for multiple objects using the same function....
