If you are using or planning to use corona SDK, you certainly hope that the more features, the better, the more advantages, but in fact, any SDK has its applicability, there are specific user groups, so there must be some less outstanding places.

Someone made some comments on corona on the monkey (http://www.monkeycoder.co.nz) Project Forum, pointing out the reasons for choosing corona and the reasons for turning to monkey.

 

First, the advantages of Corona SDK:

Stability

Supports hardware acceleration, GPS, compass, and cameras.

Supports integration with map, Facebook, openfient, and gamecenter

Built-in physical integration

Lua language is easier to learn

There are already some very good applications, at least we can prove that this SDK can make excellent applications.

Good Community Support

 

Then the corona SDK is not very good:

Only iOS and Android are supported.

The Lua language is not object-oriented.

An annual license fee is required.

There are too many bugs in Android support

 

There are other supplements, such:

Third-party sdks not supported by corona SDK cannot be integrated by themselves

When compiling a project, you need to upload the code to the corona server for compilation. You cannot directly compile the code locally.

Corona cannot be expanded, and the official update speed is too slow. This is the most reflected problem.

Physical modules also have some defects

 

 

Relatively speaking, the new monkey SDK has greatly improved these defects, such as wider platform support, for example, convenient native code integration. For example, you only need to purchase one authorization, for example, the fully object-oriented Bliz scripting language. If you are not satisfied with the corona SDK, try monkey.
