how to create coverflow in corona? - lua

i am new corona sdk and interest to work in corona sdk. i didn't know to create a cover flow like the Images in below. any one me help to like that
thank you

Given where you are right now, your question is too complex to be answered in a single StackOverflow answer. I will instead give you the high-level steps you need to follow.
Start by learning the Lua language, if you don't know it already. Programming in Lua is a good free resource.
The next step is learning how to put an image on the screen with Corona.
Then learn how to put several images on the screen with Corona.
Then learn how to make them "scroll left and right", using the finger.
You will also want to learn how to make each picture "react" to a touch event.
Finally, learn how to "add perspective" to an image, so you can do the effects on the side.
And then you will have a working cover flow.
Try each step separatedly. If you get stuck in one step, open a new question for it. For example, if you get stuck on step 3, create a question similar to this one:
How do I scroll left/right a gallery of images in Corona SDK?
I'm trying to create a cover flow in Corona SDK. I'm stuck trying to
make images scroll left and right. I have tried this code [put code
here] but it doesn't work because instead I see [what you see]. I
would like it to [what you want it to do instead]
Good luck!

iOS Swipe Gesture Recogniser for a quick-paced game

I'm new to the iOS development world, so I'm starting off with a game that's neither Clash of Clans or the infamous 'I'm Rich'. I know Python and HTML/CSS so I will be able to cope with computer terms, but it would be great if you would be able to explain any answers.
A pattern flashes on the screen for half a second, let's say it is 'arrow left, arrow right, arrow left' (in picture form). Then the user has to replicate the pattern (in the right order) in order to boost forward. Basically, I'm asking what would be the simplest/most effective way of programming this? It would be great if I could easily add more patterns.
One way I thought that it could be done is to have an ID for each pattern, in which there are pre-defined 'nodes' that have to be swiped in a particular order. One benefit to this idea is that I can add patterns, however it could take a while to program them. Another idea I had is to assign an 'eraser' to the user's brush and it will detect when +-95% of the pattern is swiped. However, this would allow the user to swipe in any order.
Perhaps there is something super easy that I can do, but at the moment I have no idea. It would be great if I could do this in Apple Swift, however Objective-C is not a problem.
Thank you in advance,
Will
You basically answered your own question in the title. Take a look at the UISwipeGestureRecognizer documentation. From there you'd just want to push gestures into an array and then compare to existing pattern arrays

Getting started with animations

I am trying to create an animation in which a circle will be containing some text or image inside it, when user will tap on circle, the circle will reveal its child circles, which will be containing some details in text form. This is something similar to discovr app http://discovr.info/. I am totally a newbie in graphics and animation world. I have read several post & documents like where to start with animations, opengl, core animation, cocos2d etc, but still don't know how should I start working on this application. I will be really grateful if you can help me in getting stating up this project. Please also tell me where else I should look for resources.
Thanks in advance,
Regards.
Great start for CoreAnimation (if you don't want to read whole Apple documentation) could be this tutorials by Mike Nachbaur (4 parts):
Animating Interfaces with Core Animation: Part 1
Animating Interfaces with Core Animation: Part 2
Animating Interfaces with Core Animation: Part 3
Animating Interfaces with Core Animation: Part 4
When new iOS trainees in my job are starting to learn CA I often give them this tutorials because everything is clearly explained there.
There are some great guides in the Apple developer library.

iOS iTunes Album Cover type (or similar) Image Display

Is there any tutorials that show how to make a Image display similar to the Album Art diaply in iTunes? Or anything similar. I followed code posted here, but I just cannot seem to get it working in the new XCode. Opening his project works fine, but using it in my own, the UIImageView renders the images beyond it's borders, making them appear over each other.
Any help would be appreciated.
I assume you're talking about CoverFlow?
I wrote a free, very easy to use CoverFlow library. It's modelled on the way that UITableView works, so if you can use that, you can use this. You can get it from here:

How can I get a slot machine effect in the IOS SDK with text?

I need to create a list of words then have the words cycle through in a slot machine effect when swiped from top to bottom.
the only issues I'm having problems figuring out is the scrolling text part. UIPICKERVIEW doesn't cycle around (plus I need to only show one option at a time). I've hunted for examples and/or tutorials regarding this but haven't found anything that points me in the right direct.
Anyone know of a tutorial or have suggestions where I can get started or further my research? thanks.
You could use iCarousel for this:
https://github.com/nicklockwood/iCarousel
Run the Basic iOS Demo and select the Cylinder carousel type in vertical orientation with wrap on. If that looks like what you want, the documentation will explain how you can set it up in your project.

How to get a 'hanging note' animation for iPad?

I need to get the animation of a note being stuck on a board for an iPad app that I am doing!
I am using a UITableView for this.
It should have a tilt so that it looks like it has been stuck up on the board.
I liked the Evernote app's notebooks tab design and I am trying something similar.
Can you help?
Your question is too vague. You're going to need to do some homework.
Start with Getting Started with Graphics and Animation (and don't ignore the other guides it tells you to read). Continue with Core Animation Programming Guide, give Core Animation Cookbook a read for some ideas, then ask specific, pointed questions when you're ready.
