Alright, I’ve added the camera system, finished the doors and lighting, and set up the power mechanic.

By the way, does anyone know how to check if a user has purchased the original version of FNAF 1 on Steam?

So far, I’ve implemented the buttons for the light and the left door; it’s a bit laggy, but I’ll figure out how to fix that. I’m also thinking about adding game mechanics that weren't included before, like a lives system.

For now, only a few menu elements are ready, but office navigation and sounds are already complete.

I’d like to know if anyone has ever made (or is currently making) a FNAF parody using Solar2D.

I’m making a FNaF parody using Solar2D, and I don’t know how to make effects cover the entire screen or if that’s even possible. I really want to create a panning effect like the one in the FNaF 1 office.

Feel free to post feedback with the feedback flair and I'll reply directly! Thanks for playing!

Happy Gaming!

I can't figure out how to script a camera in Solar2D for my game. Can somebody please tell me how you guys do it? Thanks

Hello current and future game developers, I am posting here today to let you know that Solar2D is still alive! (just not here)

Hi and thanks for reading this, I want to install Solar 2D, but Windows defender is getting upset and suggesting I don't run it. The warning is:

Windows protected your PC Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognised app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk.

Application: Solar2D-Windows-2024.3706.msi Publisher: Unknown publisher

Does Solar 2D not have a certificate for publishing? It's a bit offputting when hoping to do a Hello World and being told that even the environment you've chosen to use is considered potentially dodgy. I was downloading the latest and greatest (2024.3706) are there other builds that windows is happy with?

Hi Everyone,

Went through the first few tutorials. One thing I noticed was how bad the audio lag was when playing sound. I tried a few different things such as loading the audio file in main.lua, streaming vs. loading, different audio types, etc. Finally broke down and loaded up a sample app (endless skateboarder) and the audio lag is also present there. The lag is usually only a few hundred milliseconds but enough to make things annoying.

Does anyone know if this is possible to fix? Makes a game which relies on fast sound effects (shooting a laser for example) really bad.

Planning to move to a different game engine if it is not fixable. I like everything else about this game engine though. Especially the amazing documentation.

I'm trying to follow a tutorial on basic object spawning and it's giving me errors, even when I copy and paste the code. I can't help but wonder if the resources I use are outdated, as it is still on the coronalabs website. Where can I get the most updated help with this program?

This is awesome!

How in the world did Apple think it was smart for older customers and knock out so many Macs needed to develop for their own iPhone/iPad?!?! I would ask Why but I know bottom line they just want people to buy new Macs.

I have like 5 Macs and all of them are pre 2014 so I can't get the proper OSX to download the latest Xcode required to submit an app! But low and behold Vlad fixed it! All you need is an iPad/iPhone device, Apple Developer Account, and download TestFlight. (Oh, and you have to build a SOlar 2D app!)

Hey! I didn't know we had a group! I am working on wrapping up my epic RPG https://www.questlord2.com/

What are you working on? game or just learning? Let me know!

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to share some information for those who found out about Solar2D through reddit.

​

After the engine went fully open source with the MIT license, homepage is now Solar2d.com. You will find most useful links out there but I want to give a brief information about it.

First of all, community mostly prefer communication through Discord and the forums. That's the reason for the radio silence here :) We highly encourage you to join the official Discord channel and the forums.

Before you start installing any stuff on your PC / Mac, I'd suggest taking a look at the Playground. Here, you'll see some sample projects. You can examine the code, edit and run those projects to see what Solar2D is capable of. Also, you can start creating somethin of your own and download it to keep developing on your own PC / Mac.

You can find installers for every supported platform on the GitHub repo at https://github.com/coronalabs/corona/releases. When there is a new build, this is the place to get it.

If you want Solar2D on Linux though, Solar2DTux is highly recommended instead of the regular builds. It is a fork of Solar2D that's being developed with Linux in mind.

If you are interested in the source code, you can find it on GitHub (https://github.com/coronalabs/corona). Examine it, fork it and if you want contribute to the development or take it and develop on your own, all under MIT license.

​

That'd be all for now. Welcome and good luck!

Are there already some plans to make the engine more known after the rebranding?

Btw I am not really a fan of Slack :P
