Thanks kindly, working great, not sure how I accidentally changed something, but unzipping a fresh copy fixed it first try. Now to get my hands dirty.

ERROR libs/LoveFrames-master/int.lua:42: attempt to concatenate local 'dir' (a nil value) it is set up exactly as described, with the path I described. Gonna go over the whole thing again to be sure. Thanks for the quick response. and as I look at what I just posted the problem becomes immediately ...

Here's to feeling stupid! I know, this is as trivial as it gets, but I am stuck on set-up here. My main.lua is in directory desktop/wip, and I have your library in /wip/libs/LoveFrames-master, exactly as in the zip, but I cannot for some reason get the Directory to work right in init.lua. How should...

wow, thanks a lot gonna have a look now. I was using labels, had a counter to count moves by each animal, it was a mystery. My approach is not there yet and likely all wrong so I will enjoy seeing how you did this. Thanks again, feedback forthcoming.

That does look promising, going to put it to work in a few minutes, see if that does it. If I need further help, code will be supplied. Thanks a lot Robin, I see you trying to help on almost every post I read, obviously a very kind and generous person.

Okay, so I think I have targeted the problem. Not at home, so I don't have my current code available, but it looks kinda like this. I have a table of animals. animals = { [0] = {blah blah blah}, [1] = {blah blah blah} } I am pretty sure my problem lies in building my second table containing the spaw...

Didn't know that one thanks, this is my first project working with Lua, learning on the fly. I am actually pretty certain that whole block could be shrunken a lot and coded much nicer. I still have not found my solution, it seems to become almost random movement within a few tiles each move. Most ev...

What is intended here is that each animal in the table spawned moves once, either left, right, up, or down. Seems simple, code works fine with a couple animals, but once I get to a larger number, say 30 animals, they will begin moving at diagonals and skipping spaces. `test` was something I threw in...

okay, I have worked over some things here, have created a new table that holds stats, basically an overlay of my map, full of info. I did this to keep my tilemap static and unchanged. I chose to maintain my randoms and tiles as personal preference being similar to c#. as you can see I make map{} and...

Thats great man, thanks. I know my logic and structure are probably not perfect, this is my first project in Lua and I am using Love2D to learn it. Your examples were not the perfect solution for my problem but it sure did point out the things I was missing, so thank you very much, I am on the right...
