Need help with multiple objects

[smijjy]

I've just started this coding games business so sorry for my noobness

I'm working on a tower deference game, I'm trying to code the enemy's and I've run into the problem of I have no idea how to add multiples of the same enemy, what ever I try doesn't seem to work and I cant find on the internet what I need (mainly because I don't have much idea on what I'm supposed to look at), so I need help from the lovely people on the love2d forums

Here's the .love file of what I've done so far

if you need some other info just ask (as I've probably not included it because I'm really quite crap at this so far)

Hi,

I've just looked at your code and here is what I would do:

• Create a table to hold the enemies, like this:

  Code: Select all

  enemies = {}

• In the function enemy.new, replace this instruction return enemyStat by this:

  Code: Select all

  table.insert(enemies, enemyStat)

• Replace the functions to update and draw the enemy by an iteration of the enemies table, for example:

  Code: Select all

  function enemy.draw()
  	for i, v in ipairs(enemies) do
  		love.graphics.draw(enemyImage, v.x, v.y)
  	end
  end

Hope that helps.

Thanks, now I can finally get on with coding another part of the game!
