Great Job Team C!


Looking back on this quarter of SE591 combined with SE491 last quarter, our group has come a long way to say the least! Each of us has gone from knowing very little about Lua (at most) to becoming quite adept with coding in it, particularly of course with how it is used in the Corona SDK. I believe I was the only team member who had some experience with Corona prior to this project, though I was still very much a beginner. Based on those humble beginnings, I am very impressed with how far we have come and the quality of the product we have created.

Overall, these 2 quarters combined have been a great learning experience. This has been an exciting and productive project to work on. I was very impressed with each of our team members and the effort they put into our project. Going forward, we plan to continue as a team to improve the game and continue with our original plan to release it to a wider audience on the Android Play store and hopefully onto the Apple App Store as well.

One other note for this last blog entry of the quarter is that one of the things I have noticed while working on the project is that the mobile application development ecosystem seems to be expanding quite a bit. There seem to be at least a few other platforms in various stages of development that seem to be preparing to give Corona some competition (e.g., www.lanica.co, to name just one, which according to the website, includes among its founders one of the co-founders of Corona). It will be very interesting to see how the various platforms come along as time goes on and how the development experience on other competing platforms compares with Corona.
