Yeah, you are right. I actually forgot to add tranparency to the player image. Changed that, and it works fine now.

I thought it was the code, but apparently it was the image...

Here you go. As you can see, there is a square block of "red" around my player. This is the full game code: function love.keypressed(key) if key == " " then -- shoot a bullet (by adding it to the bullets table and passing a .y value) bullets[#bullets+1] = { y = 495, speed = 300, ...

I'm teaching myself Love2D, currently I'm creating a space invaders clone (followed a tutorial then tried to program it on my own). I created a player by using the following code. - in love.load: player.graphic = love.graphics.newImage('player_small.png') - in love.draw: love.graphics.setBackgroundC...

I just finished adding the enemies, moving them down and then checking for collisions with the enemies. This is my own code, so it probably won't be the most efficient or reusable one. But well, it seems to work all right! :) Next step is to implement the 'slow rate of fire' code, then maybe build s...

If you are on Linux, perhaps also worth checking out is Krita: http://krita.org/faq

So more like this? function love.keypressed(key) if key == " " then -- shoot a bullet (by adding it to the bullets table and passing a .y value) bullets[#bullets+1] = { y= 495, speed = 300, width = 10, height = 5, x = (player.x + player.width/2) - 5 } end end function love.load() love.grap...

Thank you for the advice. I improved my code a little: - I put all functions outside of the love.update and love.draw functions (if love.keyboard.isDown can still be in love.update, yes?) - I tried to use variables where I could, instead of fixed values - I made it possible for the player to move le...

Thank you. Actually, it looks like your code will send the bullets toward the position of the mouse. My intent was just to move them up. But, with your help and some more experimenting, I succeeded in creating a small program which makes the bullets shoot upward. I know it can still use a lot of wor...

I was following along a tutorial (Invaders must die at http://www.headchant.com/2010/11/27/love2d-tutorial-part-1-invaders-must-die/), right now I am trying to recreate just the part where the bullets are fired. I have some code which fires 5 bullets at the same time (that's actually the code for th...

Other attempt, this time using functions. I'm actually really happy with this one, it does exactly what I want and I think there are much less "wasteful" instructions in there like in the previous code examples. Somehow I could not "import" the "dt" value directly in my...
