Images dont Load, when I Draw them, all i get is a white block in the dimensions of the original object, am i doing something wrong or is it a hardware failure?

You should post your code
I'm new to love but Ive spent a lot of time with the draw function.

I just used the Hamster Tutorial, but replaced it with the love logo
Code: Select all
function love.load()
lovelogo = love.graphics.newImage("love-logo.JPG")
x = 40
y = 50
speed = 100
end
function love.update(dt)
if love.keyboard.isDown("right") then
x = x + (speed * dt)
elseif love.keyboard.isDown("left") then
x = x - (speed * dt)
end
if love.keyboard.isDown("down") then
y = y + (speed * dt)
elseif love.keyboard.isDown("up") then
y = y - (speed * dt)
end
end
function love.draw()
love.graphics.draw(lovelogo, x, y)
end

It's a hardware thing. Some graphics cards don't support non-power-of-2 images - that is, images with dimensions that are not powers of 2. The LÖVE logo falls under this category.
The easiest way to deal with this is just to use images with power of 2 dimensions. However, for images that aren't the right size, you can use the padding function found
on the wiki to avoid the issue.

Hmm, Seems almost unnesecary lol. So would it just be best to use all images that are a power of two?

Okay, but just for the sake of knowing can you take the bit of code i used, and show me how to correctly implement the padding function?

You can also put this file:
in the same folder as your main.lua, and start your main.lua with:
Then you need to make no further changes to make it work.
