Corona SDK (Lua) vs Native Obj-C for iPhone only word puzzle type game [closed]
- by dodgy_coder
I am trying to decide on whether to use the Corona SDK & Lua versus native Objective-C to develop an iOS app. This will be the first game on any smartphone I have developed and so its not that ambitious - a single player word puzzle type game - something sort of like scrabble.
The advantages of Corona I can see are:
Lua is probably easier to learn than Obj-C (shorter learning curve) meaning a possibly quicker development time
Possibility to port to Android once its finished
Advantages of native Obj-C are:
Access to all and latest features of iOS
More / faster available libraries
Has anyone made this decision before? Are there any major advantages or disadvantages I've missed or got wrong here? Thanks.
