how do I truncate any excess chars? like if i have str = awasdawasd how do I truncate every char after the 5th? i've tried this if player[i].actionString:len() > 5 then player[i].actionString:gsub(player[i].actionString:sub(6), "") end among other things but none of them have worked :(

thanks

like suppose I have a string:

string = "abcdef"

how could I check a specific number of end characters so that I can do something like:

IF the end of string is "ef" THEN
....
END

thanks

Instead of "p1" use just indexes, i.e. define them as: player = { [1] = { stuff }, [2] = { stuff } } Use a for loop from 1 to 2 to create each player the same if you need. Then change each players specifically different data, like location on screen if you need to. i.e.: player = {} for i...

Without rewriting everything for Player 2. I've tried so many things I've already lost count... Dx if player.p1.state == "jumping" then player.p1.y = player.p1.y + player.p1.y_vel * dt player.p1.y_vel = player.p1.y_vel + gravity * dt if player.p1.y + player.p1.h > floor.y then player.p1.y ...

thanks anyways!

i don't want to use fixed values :S

i was thinking love.graphics.getWidth(img) but that didn't work

Oh *facepalm*. I thought the "center" alignment centers the text on that point... lol. So what "center" does is calculate the center of the screen and adds that to the x coordinate? Thanks .

There's "left", "center" and "right" alignments right? I'm trying to center the text on the window and "center" puts it on the right hand side of the screen..... =_= (check the second slide). EDIT: I frkn keep on compressing the folder rather than the files Dx.

Ok thanks heaps guys
