Help Making a Word table/list

[Qcode]

Hi Everybody I'm pretty new to coding and I haven't got any experience in any format before. Basically the project I've been working on is a clone of the big red button game http://www.85qm.de/up/BigRedButton.swf I've been getting pretty far except after the first 2 messages I can't load any more messages in order, so I was wondering whether you could make a table or list of words that you could display in order. Here's the code I've already got it's also attached if you want to see how it works.

Code: Select all

function love.load()
  text = "DO NOT PUSH"
  screen_width = 1280
  screen_height = 800
  love.graphics.setMode(screen_width, screen_height)
  love.graphics.setBackgroundColor(255, 255, 255)
  rect = {
    x = 400,
    y = 204,
    width = 200,
    height = 200,
    }
end

function love.draw()
  love.graphics.setColor(255, 0, 0)
  love.graphics.rectangle("fill", rect.x, rect.y, rect.width, rect.height)
  love.graphics.setColor(0, 0, 0)
  love.graphics.print(text, 500, 600)
end

function love.mousepressed(x, y, button)
  if button == "l"
  and x > rect.x and x < rect.x + rect.width
  and y > rect.y and y < rect.y + rect.height
  then 
  	text = "*Ahem* Do NOT push" 
  end
end

Would be much appreciated if anybody could help
Thanks

Hey, I remember the Red Button game from way back.
Anyway, try replacing the bottom of your code with something like:

Code: Select all

responses = { "*Ahem* Do NOT push", "I said don't do it!", "Noo!" }
current = 1
text = responses[current]

function love.mousepressed(x, y, button)
  if button == "l"
  and x > rect.x and x < rect.x + rect.width
  and y > rect.y and y < rect.y + rect.height
  then 
      if current < #responses then
          current = current + 1
          text = responses[current] 
      else
          -- the end
      end
  end
end

Hope this helps.

Thanks man it helped tons the games fully working now I'll put a new download link up if you want to play it.

When you create a .love file, you have to put the main.lua in the 'root' of that file... Your file contains a folder that contains main.lua, and that's not right.
Also, your file is called 'Big red button.love.zip', so I had to rename it to make it run... what OS are you using?
Anyway, here is a .love file that works, as an example

Sorry about that I'm running Mac Os X for me simply renaming the folder .love worked on my computer. I'm assuming you're running windows or linux. Do you mind me just leaving your version up for people to download?

[Nixola]

Surely I don't mind, why should I have uploaded that version?
I'm on Linux and I had Windows, so I can use both, but I didn't ever use a Mac, so I can't help you...
