Corona Geek #112 – Windows Phone 8 Development and Dynamic Masks

Join this week’s Corona Geek Hangout where we take a first look at creating apps and games for Windows Phone 8 using CoronaCards. We saw how to set up a basic Corona project in Visual Studio, and how to build for both device and emulator.

Also, Corona Ambassador Sergey Lerg shared a solution he developed for creating dynamic masks using some lightweight code and some heavyweight brain power.
