Objectives

I want to start small and have enough visual things happening to keep my dopamine levels high and interested in this mini-project. For today, I want to:

Organize the project.
Replace the old assets with the ones from the APK.
Compile an APK for Android.

This is the mess I had.

Brief Introduction

As you may have seen, I have a game in my projects tab called Teleporter, that I developed all the way back in 2015 with 2 friends. We programmed the game in Lua using the old CoronaSDK, and I believe our files were hosted in our Corona accounts. However, this project has become opensource, under the name Solar2D, and I can’t seem to find a way of getting the source code back. This is a bit troublesome, since I had the objective of reworking the code base to remove the ads and porting the game to the new engine, in order to provide an APK that can be enjoyed in modern phones.
