Corona SDK is a software development kit which enables
developers to create high-performance, multimedia applications and games for
the iPhone without using Objective-C or Cocoa. Corona SDK uses the Lua
scripting language, which looks very similar to Adobe's ActionScript 2.0.
Features of Corona
SDK
- Proprietary OpenGL-ES rendering engine allows for full hardware acceleration of graphics, including sprites that animate at full GPU speed.
- Transition library enables twinning of Corona-powered sprites' position, rotation, alpha, or any other property.
- Supports native iPhone and Android UI. Developers can access the iPhone's native text features including all fonts, multi-line fields, and keyboard input.
- Apps built with Corona start at under 400KB in size.
- Subscription-based purchase model allows users to have new updates as soon as they are rolled out.
- Full feature integration with device camera, accelerometer, magnetometer, video player, compass, and/or GPS.
Benefits
Build apps 10x
faster
Corona's framework dramatically increases
productivity. Tasks like animating objects in OpenGL or creating user-interface
widgets take only one line of code, and changes are instantly viewable in the
Corona Simulator. You can rapidly test without lengthy build times.
Same code multiple store
Corona is the only complete solution for
developing across platforms, OS versions, and screen sizes. You can write once
and build to iOS, Android, Kindle Fire or Nook Color at the touch of a button —
Corona will automatically scale your content across devices from phones to
tablets.
Simple powerful APIs
Make use of advanced features using just a
few lines of human-friendly code. For instance, you can implement realistic
physics in your game with just five lines! Corona's ease of use is what allows
developers from Indies to major studios to create #1 chart-topping apps, games,
and eBooks.
Create engaging Experiences
Say goodbye to cookie-cutter apps. Whether
you're creating branded apps, graphically rich games, or interactive eBooks,
Corona gives you everything you need to go beyond the ordinary. It's easy to
make your apps behave and look exactly how you want them to.
Cut costs. Monetize faster
Corona enables you to produce top titles
without big studio budgets. And thanks to Corona's integrated support for
in-app purchases, banner ads, and offer-based virtual currency, you can
monetize faster and easier than ever before.
Join developers like you
Corona boasts a very generous and
knowledgeable community, a plethora of 3rd party tools, as well as a shared
code repository where users can download and share helpful libraries and
snippets with one another.
