Issues with Corona Storyboard Scenes - lua

Question

I am trying to make a card game.. I am creating a scene, making the background,and adding an image where when the player touches he/she will be transfered to the next scene.
singlePlayer scene:
local storyboard = require("storyboard")
local singlePlayer = storyboard.newScene()
local card1,card2,card3
function singlePlayer:createScene(event )
local group = self.view
-- body
local bg = display.newImage("bg.png")
bg.x = 100 ; bg.y = 50
group:insert(bg)
end
function singlePlayer:enterScene( event )
local group = self.view
local count = math.random(3)
local storyboard = require("storyboard")
local singlePlayer = storyboard.newScene()
local card1,card2,card3
function singlePlayer:createScene(event )
local group = self.view
-- body
local bg = display.newImage("bg.png")
bg.x = 100 ; bg.y = 50
group:insert(bg)
end
function singlePlayer:enterScene( event )
local group = self.view
local count = math.random(3)
if(count == 1) then
card1 = display.newImage("attack.png")
card1.x = 50 ; card1.y = 150
group:insert(card1)
else
card1 = display.newImage("ability.png")
card1.x = 50 ; card1.y = 150
group:insert(card1)
end
function card1:touch(event )
print("ok")
if(event.phase == "ended") then
storyboard.gotoScene("opponent_scene")
else
end
-- body
end
card1:addEventListener("touch",card1)
-- body
end
function singlePlayer:exitScene(event)
local group = self.view
card1:removeEventListener("touch",card1)
end
singlePlayer:addEventListener("createScene",singlePlayer)
singlePlayer:addEventListener("enterScene",singlePlayer)
singlePlayer:addEventListener("exitScene",singlePlayer)
return singlePlayer
Opponent scene:
local storyboard = require("storyboard")
local opponent_scene = storyboard.newScene()
function opponent_scene:createScene(event )
print("opponent_scene created")
-- body
end
function opponent_scene:enterScene(event )
print("opponent_scene enter")
local group = self.view
storyboard.removeScene("judge")
local text = display.newText("Opponent's turn",150,200)
storyboard.gotoScene("judge")
-- body
end
function opponent_scene:exitScene(event )
-- body
local group = self.view
end
opponent_scene:addEventListener("createScene",opponent_scene)
opponent_scene:addEventListener("enterScene",opponent_scene)
opponent_scene:addEventListener("exitScene",opponent_scene)
return opponent_scene
Judge scene:
local storyboard = require("storyboard")
local judge = storyboard.newScene()
function judge:createScene(event )
local group = self.view
local bg = display.newImage("destiny.png")
storyboard.removeScene("opponent_scene")
storyboard.gotoScene("singlePlayer")
-- body
end
judge:addEventListener("createScene",judge)
return judge
Will anyone explain to me what is going on with these scenes?
All i want is to make the game wait for the player's input (touching of the card)
After two clicks on the icon, storyboard is taken to opponent scene and it just shows on the screen the text "opponent's turn". What I want to do is for the text to appear briefly and then the scene to be taken to the player scene

Answer 1

Move your scene changing code inside a delayed function with timer.delay.. Here is what I did for my game to change screen after a brief time..
local function onSceneTouch( self, event )
if event.phase == "began" then
-- write all your other code here
-- function to change screen
function myClosure()
storyboard.gotoScene("opponent_scene")
end
-- Delay the call of closure function by 2 second (2000 milliseconds)
timer.performWithDelay( 2000, myClosure, 1 )
end
end
then call onSceneTouch function on touch of the screen

Answer 2

The single player enterscene code is wrong ,because you cant have two global function with the same name, the approach is not the right one . why do you call create scene inside the enter frame. suppose what you have done is correct then you should add event listeners to the function which you create in the enterscene as did earlier
singlePlayer:addEventListener("createScene",singlePlayer)
singlePlayer:addEventListener("enterScene",singlePlayer)
singlePlayer:addEventListener("exitScene",singlePlayer)
First of all please read the documentation of the storyboard and look the sample.
http://docs.coronalabs.com/api/library/storyboard/
But i request you to use composer instead of storyboard : http://docs.coronalabs.com/api/library/composer/index.html
