Lua Programming Help Thread

ok so i blit the images in my main loop.
and will this image blit since it is 480 x 272? im just trying to get it to blit anything. (i cant get it to blit my other images)

http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k3...ages52copy.png

Yes because if they are not blitted in then if you ever do a screen:clear() its gone forever unless thats what you want.

right, after clearing and before flipping the screen.

ok sincce im on christmas break im giving lua another shot but i ran across a problem. Im simply just trying to blit an image to te screen and it wont work. This were i always get stuck.:Argh:
heres my code:

Spoiler for code:

Code:

---

red = Color.new(255,0,0)
player = Image.load("a.png")
Player = {}
Player[1] = {x=200,y=50}
screen:blit(Player[1].x,Player[1].y,player)
screen.flip()
while true do
screen.waitVblankStart()
end

---

---

you need to put the 'while true do' before the blit: like this: ALSO, dont have two vars both named "player" even though one is capitalized, and it will work, but it gets confusing. name it like "playerPic":

Code:

---

red = Color.new(255,0,0)
playerPic = Image.load("a.png")

Player = {}
Player[1] = {x=200,y=50}

while true do

screen:blit(Player[1].x,Player[1].y,player)

screen.waitVblankStart()
screen.flip()
end

---

thanks and can i use a timer to make images blit at certain intervals?

yes you can

good and can i use collision so my player can colect the items?

yes yes and yes.

last question is there a timer pause function in lua? im assuming there is but i dont know the syntax for it.
thnx for all your help everyone

Yes: http://wiki.ps2dev.org/psp:lua_player:functions

Is there a special way to make a variable a negative number or do I just do

variable = -90

Ok when I try to run this I get this really annoying error that for some reason is common in a lot of games I try to make. The error is

error:script.lua:98: '=' expected near 'end'

and Im using windows lua player to test my games if that makes a difference.

And I know there might be some sloppy code in there or something I wrote it in 10 minutes with breakfast in my mind.

is string.find(whatever) definataly a function? I don't see how that would display anything.

is this an actual function?

Code:

---

if currentTime > 100 then
screen:blit(Jewel[1].x,Jewel[1].y,jewel)

i did that about 5 times in my code and it just comes up with a black screen and then resets. If there is a simpler way than using a timer to blit images a intervals someone tell me

end
screen.flip()
screen.waitVblankStart()
end
end

---

yep, i tested it and it works!

well i was gonna get some hardcore coding done tonight but since i cant fix whats wrong at the moment i guess ill just call it a night

Why is this unstickied?

me again eith another noob question
in collission i found the function to look like this (variables assigned):

Code:

---

function collisionCheck(Jewel)
if (Player.x + playerWidth > Jewel.x) and (Player.x < Jewel.x + Jewel.width) and (Player.y + playerHeight > Jewel.y) and (Player.y < Jewel.y + Jewel.height) then
Player.x = oldx
Player.y = oldy
end
end

---

but how do i define playerwidth and playerheight? b ecause when i run my code with this in it it says attempt to perform arithmetic on field "x" (a nil value)
is that because i didnt define player width and playerheight?

---

to do this, i am assuming that 'player' is an image.
to get the width/height of an image you need to do:

Code:

---

thewidth = player:width()
theheight = player:height()

---

well i found out that defining those variables wasn't the cause of the error. i think its the way im setting up my collision.
so if my image is defined as "jewel", but my table is defined as "Jewel". which do i put into the collision function the actual image name? (it would be c.png) or do i put the table name in it or the "jewel" variable?
lastly since it is in a table would i have to define all the elements like this:

Code:

---

function collisionCheck(Jewel[1])
if (Player.x + playerWidth > Jewel[1].x) and (Player.x < Jewel[1].x + Jewel[1].width) and (Player.y + playerHeight > Jewel[1].y) and (Player.y < Jewel[1].y + Jewel[1].height) then

---

also, did yu define his X and Y numbers? if so ya gotta declere those too

yes i defined the x and y values i had my game working fine up until i added collision so i know its not the rest of the code

wait, that wont work because "a" was their just as a test, im going to have more words.....any way i could do it that way? or does it have to be specific?

how do you code a function that tells you the FPS of your game/app? i learned about the timer functions, but i still dont know how to do this. :(

put the table. also, its a very bad habit to name two things the same thing, even if on is capitalized.

thnx

Code:

---

function collisionCheck( aJewel )
    if (Player.x + playerWidth > aJewel .x) and (Player.x < aJewel .x + aJewel .width) and (Player.y + playerHeight > aJewel .y) and (Player.y < aJewel .y + aJewel.height) then
        -- do whatever
    end
end

-- in the main loop
for i=1, table.getn(Jewel) do
    collisionCheck(Jewel[i])
end

ok, from what i gave you, if you want to add more words to be able to be searched:
You need to the variable 'numberofwords' in your code to be how many words you have total, so change this number in your code as you add more words.

Then, where I have

Code:

---

word[1] = {letter = "A",definition = "A: The first letter of the english alphabet"}

---

add more, such as:

Code:

---

word[2] = {letter = "LUA", definition = "Lua: a script-based programming language for the PSP"}

---

so if that helps, it would come out to be:

Spoiler for this:

Code:

---

--words
word = {}
numberofwords = 2
--A
word[1] = {letter = "A",definition = "A: The first letter of the english alphabet"}
word[2] = {letter = "LUA", definition = "Lua: a script-based programming language for the PSP"}
