Including multiple files into the game/program

Post by Divran »

Hello. I have a quick question.
I have my main.lua file, but how do I include multiple lua files and have them run on load? It gets really messy with ALL the code in one single file.
Thanks.

EDIT:
I also have another question:
Several functions on the wiki state they have "modes". For example, the rectangle. The wiki does not give a list of all available modes, however. If you can tell me of a place where I can see all available modes of any function that has a "mode" argument, that would be great. If not, people who know all available modes should consider listing them in their corresponding function on the wiki.

First question:
Check out the lua function require, it works almost the same in LÖVE, except the . syntax seems a little buggy... so you might want to use /. (that dot is not part of the replacement btw)

Second question:
"line" and "fill"

That's only for one function. I meant ANY function that has a "mode" argument.

AFAIK those are the modes for all of those functions.

Click on the type of the mode. That gives you a list.

Ah thanks. Didn't see that was a link.

And thanks, require worked.
