Thanks guys - you all gave me a lot a good information to wrap my head around so that's what I'm going to do for a bit. Thanks again. I'll refine my code after I get a grasp of how objects are created, but form what I understand so far, simply assignment a variable a table creates the object? So it ...

Hey savagedogg38, I think it would be good to point out that you are using the SECS library to create your classes. Always try to give info like that. ;) Also, providing the .love file directly helps people play with it and get at it quicker. Anyway, from the recent code and playing with it, I see ...

Please use code tags in the future. Now, the problem is that you call 'badie:init', which expects a badie object, and initialises it. Well, that's not what we have, so we need to construct an object and initialise that. We could do b = {} badie.init(b, math.random(800), math.random(600)) Or, since ...

Sorry, just saw your post about code tags - I will look into it. thanks!

After trying it, it jogged my memory. This, the suggestions I have gotten so far, is where I started and was only able to have one instance at a time. The method I have above gives me as many instances as I want. thanks though - I do think the suggestions I got so far are similar if not exactly wher...

I actually did a very crude hack to get it working. I dropped dependence on class.lua entirely. I'm going to try you suggestion anyway but if you would like to review what I have done, you can check it out on my github. All I changed was the init function. I'll copy at post it below for ease too, bu...

New version with changes per suggestion up on github for review for anyone wanting to take a look. thanks again all. function game_load(map) love.graphics.setBackgroundColor(100,100,100) b = badie:init( math.random(800), math.random(600)) end function game_update(dt) b:update(dt) end function game_d...

I thought I may have tried your suggestion before which led me to the wacky version you see - I was trying anything at that point - but I tried it again just to be sure. I got game.lua:12: attempt top index global 'b' (a nil value) - for some reason it isn't creating an instance - but my badie.lua l...

I cannot seem to manage more than one object - in my case, badie - at a time. I can have it to where, in "game" mode, I have one ball, or badie, moving about on screen at one time. Been trying everything I can think of and following all the object oriental tutorials I can find, but I'm at ...
