Solar2D Chapter 4: Creating Scenes (Getting Started Tutorial Series)

In Chapter 4, Creating Scenes, I talk in depth about the role of the composer library, why its needed, how it manages the entire app, all its files, and displays things on and off the screens. We continue to follow the Solar2D Getting Started Chapter 4 tutorials, by splitting our one single file, containing all code, into multiple files.
