Question

In this app I’m creating with Corona SDK, when you win the text “You win” sould appear, but doesn’t. I could post all the code, but I don’t think the rest would be hepful, so here is only the essencial:

_H = display.contentHeight;
_W = display.contentWidth;
mRand = math.random;
o = 0;
time_remain = 20;
time_up = false;
total_orbs = 45;
total_secs = 20;
ready = false;

local backGround = display.newImage("media/bg.png");

backGround.xScale = 2;
backGround.yScale = 2;

loseMSG = display.newText("You Lose!", _W/2, _H/2, nil, 50)
loseMSG.isVisible = false

winMSG = display.newText("You Win!", _W/2, _H/2, nil, 50)
winMSG.isVisible = false

local countdowntxt = display.newText(time_remain, 0, 0, native.systemFont, 60);
countdowntxt.xScale = .5; countdowntxt.yScale = .5;
countdowntxt:setReferencePoint(display.BottomRightReferencePoint);
countdowntxt.x = _W-20; display.y = _H-20;
countdowntxt:setTextColor(0, 0, 0)


function winLose(condition)
if (condition == "Win") then
    bgAlpha = display.newImage("media/bgAlpha.png");
    bgAlpha.xScale = 2;
    bgAlpha.yScale = 2; 
    winMSG.isVisible = true -- Here the win text should become visible, but doesn't
elseif (condition == "Fail") then
    bgAlpha = display.newImage("media/bgAlpha.png");
    bgAlpha.xScale = 2;
    bgAlpha.yScale = 2; 
    loseMSG.isVisible = true        
end

end

Any Ideas why?

Answer 1

Why have you given nil for font value?
Atleast pass the default system font

loseMSG = display.newText("You Lose!", _W/2, _H/2, native.systemFont, 50)
winMSG = display.newText("You Win!", _W/2, _H/2, native.systemFont, 50)
