Only if you can disable that in Atom. Editors on windows force the thing they're running to redirect output to them instead of the console.

Hello, I am a programmer and I am trying to switch to Love2D to make my first game on smartphone, but I'm doing my firsts tests and I'm failing.

I tried lclass and middleclass to create a Button, but with the option to make a simple button or a textured button. But when I create the main.lua,button.lua, and ctrlC+CtrlZ the middleclass.lua to my device It shows nothing. Here's my code:
Button.lua

Main.lua
http://paste.ofcode.org/8jx6qwBUBM6WBgxzHCuduk

thanks for your help

Code: Select all

function love.draw()
    -- You're missing something here: aButton:draw()
end
Me and my stuff :3True Neutral Aspirant. Why, yes, i do indeed enjoy sarcastically correcting others when they make the most blatant of spelling mistakes. No bullying or trolling the innocent tho.

Yup, I supposed it. But if I do a bunch of buttons, entities, etc, will have a lot of :draw? or I have to do a function for each part of the game? Doesn't have some method to invoke all draws/updates/loads/etc?

Edit: I changed to lclass and redid buttons.lua, but It still not showing anything. Here's the code:
Main-
http://paste.ofcode.org/YTpuZp85ePH2atffxqBGs4

Button
http://paste.ofcode.org/FsxaFr66JxgSUTy5wEqGjJ

Edit 2: I returned to middleclass, but still did nothing. Maybe is because I have three classes inside the same file?

It looks like Slime's ffi imagedata methods (or something similar) were integrated into Love in 0.9.2 Are these thread safe? Do they put a lock on an entire imagedata, thus preventing multiple threads from accessing a single imagedata at the same time?

Yes, they are thread-safe.

EDIT: I should clarify: the implementation in love is thread-safe (and transparent).

Do they lock the whole imagedata? The reason I ask is because I'll need to have n threads writing to different addresses in the same texture atlas to make using threads worth while.
