Summary

Congratulations! You have completed making your very first game! You should be very proud of yourself. Now, you have experienced how simple it is to make an application with Corona SDK. It can take just a few hundred lines of code to make an application.

In this chapter, we did the following:

• Added movement to the paddle with touch events
• Introduced the accelerometer features
• Implemented collision event listeners for all game objects affected
• Removed objects from memory when they weren't needed on the game screen
• Implemented movement of the ball as a physical object
• Updated a scoreboard for every brick collision
• Learned how to handle win and lose conditions

The last two chapters weren't so bad now, were they? You're getting familiar with the workflow as you continue programming in Lua. It will definitely get easier to understand as long as you keep progressing and working with different game frameworks.

The next chapter holds another game that will surely catch your attention. You'll create animated sprite sheets for your display objects. How's that for eye candy?
