There are two ways around this. You can declare the menu:Open variable above love.update, or you can move the enti...

Re: Middleclass passing objects

I see that you have a console start with the game; you'd probably be better off printing the error to the console using print instead of love.graphics.print. The way I understand love.graphics.print is that it (like any other code that draws) has to be called form love.draw -- so unless you store it...

Take a look at anim8 (linked in the original response); it's a library for doing that and the tutorials will probably help.

Thanks for letting me know! :awesome:
