Tilt Monster - Disabling the Rating Option Request

Written by Paul Allan Harrington

Take a look at the startGame function in main.lua at line 90. Jonathan did a nice job commenting the code so it should be fairly easily to determine which lines of code to remark out and/or delete.

If I'm correct, I believe you could remark out and/or delete lines 91 - 133.

I did some lite testing and the above worked out successfully.

If you have the Corona Simulator "Show Project Sandbox" (File | Show Project Sandbox), you'll be able to look at the rating.data file that is created to track the number of times the app is opened. Jonathan has the app set to request a rating on the 4th attempt. Deleting or remarking out lines 91 - 133 will no longer create and modify the rating.data file, so deleting it (rating.data) and making your code changes will help you determine if your on track. The file should not reappear if you make the correct modifications.

Side-Note: The Corona Simulator's "Show Project Sandbox" feature is such a great tool to utilize during development and testing. It opens the application's sandbox folder where the Corona Simulator stores data saved by your application.
