Collision..

Im planning on making a lib for questions asked alot that will be available to all... it will be a simple function... converted from my C to LUA (ravine). then maybe add rotation adn such... I dunno still... maybe someone else is maing somethin alike to it? that i could just addthe collision to it.

well I know that in LUA-player 0.19 there is a function that lets you rotate images.

A collision lib would be very nice.

Umm...I'm having a slight problem. Is there any way to "pause" a loop? I ask this because I have an options menu that comes up whenever you press start, the only problem is that when it comes up, the player will keep moving while the menu is up. The menu actually has its own loop because of some stuff I added in there, but this still happens no matter what I do. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks guys.

If you use a function for your menu, and there's a loop in it then everything will pause except for timers. This is how i do it and it works perfectly.
This is also logical, since when the program is in the menu loop it cant run in the game loop.

Use a new function, like Altair said.
It'll pause whatever you have running, then when it breaks, it'll go back to whatever to you were doing before pausing.

OK i need to make my game so that you have to press the button more than once to blow up all the bombs EX - There are 2 circle bombs, right now if you hit circle both blow up, but I need it so that you have to hit circle twice for each one to blow up!

Depends on how you have your bombs made. Im assuming you use a table.

Just say that if you you press circle ones, make the bomb[n] blow up. And each time you press circle add 1 to n.

Ya it works.. Almost ready for a public beta of my game! :D

question!!!(sorry just thought i make myself clear) is their anyway to attach an image to another image without going into a the image and manually because this would make scrolling for my game easyier

--thanks in advance

?
U mean like create a image canvas that is double the length of your map and blit both oin there, cos i think thats possible.
?

no i mean so i can scroll my map and the other images are attached to my map so they scroll with it else i well have to set them all to scroll individually but if i can attach them to my main map then it all works out=-)
