Lua Programming Help Thread

ya, but could you overwrite current files?

Does anyone know how to make a sidescroller? do you need one giant image and use code to make it scroll once a unit enters a area. Does anyone have the code to do this or a example game in lua? Help would be apreciated.

Code:

---

pad = Controls.read()

if pad:square() and pad:circle() then
break
end

---

Would that work?
both pad and Controls.read() only can have one value, so wouldn't this work better?

Code:

---

while true do

        pad1 = Controls.read()
        pad2 = Controls.read()

        if pad1:square() then
                if pad2:circle() then
                        break
                end
        end
end

No one's helping me :(

Right..

I've got two folders

psp/game/nameofgame/
nameofgame%/

why is it that if I change either of the names of these folders my script stops working?

Or.. am I just being stupid?

I am trying to make a coin flipping program, you press X and it will display an message, heads, or with tails. Here is as far as the display part goes.

Code:

---

pad = Controls.read()

screen:print(120, 15, "Welcome to my coin toss game!", blue)
screen:print(60, 190, "Press X to Flip Coin!", yellow)
screen.flip()

if pad:cross() and (math.random(1,2) < 2) then
while true do
screen:clear()
screen:blit(0, 0, bg, false)
screen:print(120, 15, "Welcome to my coin toss game!", blue)
screen:print(160, 30, "Created By Jesse", red)
screen:print(60, 190, "Press X to Flip Coin!", yellow)
screen.flip()
screen:print(60, 160, "Coin Flipped! Heads!", yellow)
while true do
screen.flip()


elseif pad:cross() and (math.random(1,2) > 1) then
screen:clear()
screen:blit(0, 0, bg, false)
screen:print(120, 15, "Welcome to my coin toss game!", blue)
screen:print(160, 30, "Created By Jesse", red)
screen:print(60, 190, "Press X to Flip Coin!", yellow)
screen.flip()
screen:print(60,160, "Coin Flipped! Tails!", yellow)
screen.flip()
end[

Something is wrong with the part under the if pad.

Shouldnt your if's be

"if (pad:cross()) and (math.random(1,2) < 2) then"

both statements either side of the 'and' have to be in ( )'s

..... ?
