How would I make a string containing "? Can this be done through the hex value? If yes, how?

Blegh, I ask too much.

ok yea well done altair - how retarded of me, soz that was off the top of my head Sjaakrake

How do you compile a LUA app/game to an eboot.pbp so you dont have to run it with Luaplayer? I have Cygwin installed and the psptoolchain installed. What else do I need to do?

try this:

Code:

---

white = Color.new(255, 255, 255)
frame_1 = Image.load("frame_1.png")
frame_2 = Image.load("frame_2.png")
frame_3 = Image.load("frame_3.png")

showAnimation = true
timer = Timer.new()

while true do
        pad = Controls.read()
        timer:start()
        screen:clear()

        if showAnimation then
                if timer:time() >= 0 and timer:time() <= 135 then
                        screen:blit(0, 0, frame_1)
                elseif timer:time() > 135 and timer:time() <= 270 then
                        screen:blit(0, 0, frame_2)
                elseif timer:time() > 270 and timer:time() <= 405 then
                        screen:blit(0, 0, frame_3)
                elseif timer:time() > 405 then
                        timer:stop()
                        timer:reset()
                end
        else
                screen:print(0, 0, "Paused!", white)
        end

        if pad:cross() and pad ~= oldpad then
                if showAnimation then showAnimation = false else showAnimation = true end
        end

        oldpad = pad
        screen.flip()
        screen.waitVblankStart(6)
end

I am very confused about this "oldpad" thing. How do you make it so when you press X it starts and when you press it again it stops etc.?

Use this: \"
This has to be in the quotations of the string itself. So say you want to put "hello" in a variable but with the quotations, you have to do this:
text="\"hello\""

[Dutch]Ja dat dacht ik al ja. "Sjaak" kom je niet zo vaak tegen in het buitenland :D.[/Dutch]

Everybody has its "off"-days (is that how you say it?) and thx

hi!

how do you repeat a sound so when it ends it start at the begining again? please help! thanks! :) btw, its a wav file if that helps.

and how big should the wav file be so the lua player duzent hangs?? thanks

I dont know if there's a limit to the length or size, but i know it needs to be mono sound.
Here's the command and its argument:

Code:

---

Sound.load(filename, [bool loop])

---

So if you want it to loop then you say:

Code:

---

Sound.load(filename, true)

---
