Corona SDK – Curve fitting 2 – Implementation of P.J. Schneider using cubic Beizer curves

Here's the original algorithm of the curve fitting: Sorry that I don't have time to explain about this algorithm at the moment but I WILL in the near future 🙂 so please just enjoy the sample I made below: Source code here in LUA for Corona SDK References: P.J. Schneider, "An algorithm for automatically fitting…

Corona SDK – Curve fitting 1 – Implementation of Ramer-Douglas-Peucker algorithm to reduce points of a curve

This article is the first part of a two part tutorial to do curve fitting. The motivation to do this came when I was playing the Flight Control Center game on my IPhone. I was very interested in this kind of game and wanted to know how to build a game like that. I wrote…

Corona SDK – An implementation of bow shooting without physic engine 2 – Collision check

Let’s move to collision checking part. I did not use the built-in physic engine so I had to do it in my own way: -          Register a list of targets by using an array to store targets. There are two types of targets One already has its implementation of collision checking itself One does not…

Corona SDK – An implementation of bow shooting without physic engine 1

Why “without physic engine”? Firstly, I have to say that physic engine is an excellent tool for simulating physical interactions, a great framework for making physic based games. Thousands (or hundreds of thousands maybe) of physic based were made by this awesome engine. People are satisfied with it. Me too, until I tried to make…
