Lua Programming Help Thread

have u tried this on a PSP yet because it doesnt work on the Lua Player for Windows

worked on my psp

make sure you save it as index.lua if your using LUA player with a lowser

and did you take out the spaces that the forum makes? like between numbers and stuff?

spaces? which ones

Code:

---

yellow = Color.new(255, 255, 0)
blue = Color.new(0, 0, 255)
orange = Color.new(223, 88, 6)
grey = Color.new(94, 97, 111)
black = Color.new(0, 0, 0)
MAKE SURE THERES NO SPACES IN THE COLOR VALUE NUMBERS
background = Image.load("background.png")

screen:blit(0, 0, background, false)
screen.flip()
screen.waitVblankStart(12  0)AND IN PLACES LIKE HERE IN BETWEEN TEH 12 AND 0

screen:blit(0, 0, background, false)
screen:print(150, 130, "Welcome To pspBaller Beta!", blue)
screen.flip()
screen.waitVblankStart(18  0) HERE


screen:blit(0, 0, background, false)
screen:print(40, 150, "Thank you for waiting, now Press X for Tutorial", blue)
screen.flip()
screen.waitVblankStart(12  0) HERE

pad = Controls.read()

if pad:cross() then
screen:blit(0, 0, background, false)
screen:print(40, 150, "Welcome to the Tutorial For pspBaller", blue)
screen.flip()
screen.waitVblankStart(40  0) HERE
end

AND CHECK FOR RANY OTHER SPACES YOU MIGHT SEE

what's the code supposed to do?

I have two questions. I want to start programing in lua so I decided to start on a simple program. How exactly do I make a menu and how do I tell the program to do a math problem?

Code:

---

if pad:select() then screen:save("screenshot.tga") end

if pad:start() then
break
end

end

---

hmm im gettinga Weird Error when i try to Use Lua for Windows to Run pspBaller when i ran some code, it says "error: script.lua:52: no loop near 'end" here is the code by end

Zitat:

You have an extra end at the end of it. If it is ending a loop, then thats a different story. If you intend to loop it, then make sure there is a loop to start it off.

hmm how would u make it to make it so when u press lets say, Right on the PSP Pad it moves a Object, and how would u make it so u could control how much it moves, and also how would it know what object move?
