Re: [solved]Is there a way to sleep/wait without freezing window?

Variables are local to their scope, which is loosely "their indentation level" assuming you indent your code normally. You can still make the variables local by declaring them outside of love.load, in one of two ways: local currentSlowFrames, numberOfSlowFrames function love.load() current...

Re: Is there a way to sleep/wait without freezing window?

Are you sure you're incrementing the variable correctly and have not mistyped the assignment? That's the only thing I can think of without looking at your code.

Re: Is there a way to sleep/wait without freezing window?

To do this you would need to only update every x frames, where x is the amount by which you want to slow down. For instance, if you want your game to move at 1/2 speed, you would do something like this: -- main.lua local numberOfSlowFrames = 2 local currentSlowFrames = 1 function love.update( dt ) i...

Re: Asteroids example, first playable .love file !

Looks good, especially considering your (relatively) minimal experience with the engine! My bit of feedback is somewhat nitpicky, but in general people dislike it if your game starts out full screen.

Re: Need Help for Collision

This works for me

Code: Select all

function CheckCol(x1,y1,w1,h1,x2,y2,w2,h2) --bounding box
	return x1 <= x2+w2 and
	x2 <= x1+w1 and
	y1 <= y2+h2 and
	y2 <= y1+h1

end

Re: Need Help for Collision

Re: Question from a newbie

Your problem is unrelated to chicken.jpg. Look closely at how you spelled "imange" :)

Re: Need Help for Collision

Hi, I'm not really sure exactly what you mean by "the older wall Ive added will be just a wall with no functions." That being said, I'm assuming what you're going for is to keep the player from going through the wall on the right side. If that is the case, you're very close. The problem is...

Re: function with multiple default arguments

In this case, nil would be preferred over false because nil represents the absence of a variable, while false could be an argument.
