Hi, i'm pretty new with Gideros, but i know the basics, i just want to try it out for my project (desktop game), just because i really like lua, and the Gideros approach is kinda neat :P.
I have some questions
Best way to get started? i know there are some tutorials, but i really want to know the experience and tips from people that uses the engine
is there any good 2d platformer tutorial, i mean box2d, collisions, animation, etc?
general experience with the engine?
thank you very much

Maybe wiki is a good start: https://wiki.giderosmobile.com/index.php/Why_use_Gideros?
And here's my pov from where to start:

Guys here released some platformers on Steam and mobile. Personally I've never created platformers, but I guess we have everything at our disposal. Levels can be designed with Tiled map editor, collisions with box2d/liquidfun, animation - spritesheets or Spine/Dragonbones.
Here's example project with source code:

(probably there're more platformer examples somewhere on forum, I didn't dig much).

ps\\ instead of box2d - uses "bump" or "liquid fun"
