I downloaded Corona SDK for windows and also Win32 OpenSSL but for the life of me I cannot get to the screen where I can type in code. It tells me I can just open the main.LUA file and when I do that I just get to see a simulation of the program (hello world. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi!
You have to use an external LUA / text editor.
http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ This is the best imo :)

You code in this then Corona is used for simulation and building the app =)

Thanks! Got it working now.

Scite is good because (among other things) it has simple word completion. Are there any editors on Windows with better code completion for Lua/Corona?

I think there is a completion thats made for Notepad++ somewhere in this forum...
