Sweet it has been working the whole time!

I just totally misunderstood the documentation. I was expecting the file to be within the love folder that main.lua was in, not a different love folder.

thanks all.

I should have mentioned this earlier, I'm not using windows, I'm using a mac.

function love.load() love.filesystem.setIdentity("imgData") love.graphics.setCaption("Draw") love.graphics.setBackgroundColor(255,255,255) love.graphics.setColor(0,0,0) pixels={} love.keyboard.setKeyRepeat(1,1) end function love.update(dt) mouseX=love.mouse.getX() mouseY=love.mou...

It's still not working!

alright I will, thanks a lot!

I have initialized properly (i believe) by having love.filesystem.setIdentity("folderName") in the love.load() callback but when I try: img=love.graphics.newScreenshot() love.filesystem.write("folderName/img_rawData.txt", img) it doesn't work! It's a simple thing I'm doing, but w...

1st edit: on second thought, maybe I should just try it out!

2nd edit: btw I did it, was actually quite easy!

Well, if you could help with one other thing...

How could I make the program so that it would let the user draw freely instead of pixel by pixel? I thought of having a loop going in the love.mousepressed function but I'm not exactly sure how to implement it, or if that's even the way to do it.

Thanks for your post. Because of it, I read a short tutorial on lua tables to try and understand your solution to my problem, and I figured out how to create a simple undo function for my drawing app by using table.remove() I also changed the program to draw 1 by 1 pixel sized rectangles, so that th...

Hi again! So I got the idea of trying to create a very simple drawing program where you can left click anywhere on the love window and draw a point there. So I'm using the love.mousepressed and love.mousereleased functions to get the mouse position and draw a point there, but the point doesn't stay....
