Re: I'm new to Lua, and do not understand what I'm doing wro

I'm not sure what you mean, using Lua as a parser. Also, I re-wrote it trying to make it more efficient, but it still doesn't even do the most simple part. function npcparse() npcdata={} data={} for line in love.filesystem.lines("config.txt") do table.insert(data,line) end for i = 1,#data...

has anyone made an API for rotation?

Something like...

Code: Select all

Object = love.new.graphics.newImage("blah.jpg")
Object.Rotation = 90 --degrees
love.graphics.draw(Object,400,400)
Is this possible?

I have no idea how to use the current rotation, and this would make things easier for me.

Re: I'm new to Lua, and do not understand what I'm doing wro

With something that complicated, it would be easier to just make the file Lua, and use require(). If you want to write to it as well, that's possible but slightly harder. See http://lua-users.org/wiki/TableSerialization for examples for writing a table to a file. I don't plan on writing to it. It m...

Re: Tilt reboot (alpha 2) - need as many testers as possible

I didn't find a bug, but I suggest a setting for the weight of the ball, it seemed far to light.
Also, maybe alternately use the arrow keys or WASD to control the movement of the paddles, the mouse seemed clunky and hard to use.

Re: I'm new to Lua, and do not understand what I'm doing wro

Thanks, but It is part of a larger parser to read from a file for making NPCs with data: spawnx=6 spawny=6 newNPC[ name;Shopkeeper X;30 Y;30 type;Shop selling( 1 2 3 ) texture;Shopkeeper.png ] newNPC[ name;Blacksmith X;34 Y;34 type;Shop selling( 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 ) texture;Blacksmith....
