Question on Tables and Storing [SOLVED]

[Kjell Granlund]

Ok well I was wondering if there was a better way of doing this bit of code for loading in the graphics in my game:

Code: Select all

-- gf is shorthand for Graphics for the following

function load_graphics()

load_ships()
load_buttons()
load_effects()
load_backgrounds()
load_huds()
load_icons()

end

function load_ships()

	local gfx_ship_L_small_01a = love.graphics.newImage( "Graphics/Ships/Small/Ship 01a L.png")
	local gfx_ship_L_small_01b = love.graphics.newImage( "Graphics/Ships/Small/Ship 01b L.png")
	local gfx_ship_L_small_01c = love.graphics.newImage( "Graphics/Ships/Small/Ship 01c L.png")

Could I simply use:

Code: Select all

gfx_ship_table[1] = {
[1]  = love.graphics.newImage( "Graphics/Ships/Small/Ship 01a L.png")
}

Instead of using locals and such? If so then is there an even better way than that? Just seems like alot of typing is all...

**EDIT** Coding with little sleep is never good. So I see I can indeed skip the whole local bit. I feel like such a noob. But I am still curious if there is a better way of doing what I have done with my code.

[Jasoco]

Yeah, tables can contain anything including other tables. I would definitely figure out a better way to do that. That's a lot of code when it could be so much smaller with better named variables and the use of quads on single images where possible instead of separate images for every frame.

[Kjell Granlund]

Quads you say? What are those? I have heard people speak of them, but I do not know what they are. Would that mean rewriting all my code to use these quads you speak of?

[Jasoco]

That code is going to have to be rewritten either way. It's a huge mess that will be very hard to maintain. But you will also have to rethink everything. I don't know exactly how many graphics you have but you should put all like images into single sheets and use quads. Look them up on the Wiki. That's what it's there for.

[Kjell Granlund]

Thanks, I read them on the wiki, but I am a visual learner so I will hunt for a few demos that people have made and eat away at that juicy code. As for how many images I have. Well I believe the count is close to 400 of so. I am now structuring my folders and such and doing the code to match. I might be able to use queads but perhaps not for backgrounds? They are 800x600. Unless I want a HUGE picture. Thanks again and hopefully I can make my code ALOT shorter. Im kinda glad I didnt post my .love as I am kinda embarressed how badly it is written.

Without using Quads (until I learn them) is there anything else I can do to shorten this code?
