Davisdude's solution worked, thanks for the help.

@DireMitten, the output prints "1 Button1" and then it errors again with "attempt to index global x (a nil value)."

@yetneverdone, that solution also outputs "attempt to index global x (a nil value)."

What I'm trying to do is make the variable x for the textbutton, so that I can continue positioning and sizing x after I've created it. I'm using this https://love2d.org/wiki/Easy_GUI_System for the GUI. One of the solutions I've tried using: for i=1, 3 do x = "button"..i TextButton:new(x)...

Alright thank you guys.

So we're trying to concat log and i. When that happens we will be able to identify the log by its log number. ex log256 and log320 log..i doesn't concat it so any help would be appreciated. We're new to love2d. for i=64, 1856, 192 do love.graphics:reset() logs = { log..i = love.graphics.draw(logImg,...

First, you shouldn't be creating the font in love.draw, which you are doing. Create a table named fonts and put fonts in it, or something like that; just use a variable named "font20" if you wish, but you should only create new fonts (or new anything) once. You can do what you're asking b...

Setting the color to plain white will draw an image with its original colours.

Thank you so much. I was messing around with that and only tried (0,0,0) but now I noticed it made it black.

Me and a friend are trying to make a replica of frogger. The frogs eye color is red and the frog is green. This code makes the frog green because of the setColor below it. How can we make it not turn blue and keep the frog the original color of the png. Thanks in advance. function love.draw() if pla...

Okay, it looks like you want to create a Frogger clone ? If so you don't have to use love.update to update the movement (if you dont want smooth movement). Instead try to use the keypressed callback. And then to move the frog just update its x / y position by adding a static value (the jumpDistance...
