Delay on a loop?

Sure. Here you go.
I added some comments to the code. If you have any questions feel free to ask. To view the source code, rename the .love file to .zip and unzip it.

Cool!
And for the part of source code....?
When I click the download, it shows only the game.
How would I "zip" it?

Rename delay.love to delay.zip. Or drag the .love file on the archiving application you use, that'll probably work too.

In other words, a .love is just a .zip, but it has been renamed so that your operating system knows that it is supposed to open this file with löve2d by default.

How do I rename it?
:p
I try right clicking, but it doesn't show rename as an option.

Ok, I see the code.
Thank you, I understand now, but,
how could I make it less than 1 second?
like... .5?

Code: Select all

function love.update(dt)
    updateStuff(dt)
end



Local timer = 0.5
function updateStuff(dt)
   timer = timer - dt
   if timer < 0 then
      --Do stuff
   end
end

how would that change it?
isn't dt one every second?

So..................


0.5 - 1 = -0.5
1 - 1 = 0


0 is the same or bigger in each one

dt is 1/FPS so if you running the game at 1 frame per second dt will be 1 but if you running it with 60 it will be 0,017 and love.update is not called once per second but once per frame, that is why dt it is the best way for measuring time

Nope, dt stands for Delta Time, the time between each frame.
