ABSTRACT
This chapter shows how to use Lua programming language, which is Corona software development kit (SDK) to display shapes while creating mobile games and applications. Using shapes such as circles, lines, and rectangles, is a smart and easy way to start a project in games to create great user interfaces or visual effects without any graphics assets. To create some nice interfaces shapes and texts are combined. The chapter shows how to demonstrate a few clever ways to enhance text by using shapes to add a background, underline, or square. For example, to create a title with a background people will just draw a rectangle shape across the entire width, and draw the label on it. The result is a nice professional-looking title. Some nice ways to display texts are by creating an underlined title, and a squared title.
