Tilemap doesn't load

[LieutenantPie]

I'm still very new to LOVE 2D so I apologize if these are really stupid questions

I've made a test image show up in game and move around, but that's pretty much all I've done so far. I decided I would just test everything out once to see how it works before I dive headfirst into programming a game with tools I don't understand, so I made a little test map in Tiled. The only problem is that whenever I load the game, it only shows a black screen.

Does anyone know what the problem might be? I've only been a member of these forums for a few days so I can add any information I may have forgotten. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi!
You need to use love callbacks

https://www.love2d.org/wiki/love

Code: Select all

function love.load() --This function is called exactly once at the beginning of the game.

end

--**************************************************************************
function love.update(dt)  --Callback function used to update the state of the game every frame.

end
--****************************************************************************

function love.draw()  --Callback function used to draw on the screen every frame.

end 

Maybe you should check out some löve tutorials? like https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... re=mh_lolz

I also recommend STI instead of ATL

I tried using STI instead, however I am also dumb and both the tutorial and the documentation for STI weren't very helpful for me as I have no idea what I'm doing and I'm pretty sure most people expect me to have some idea of how this works, anyways I'm pretty sure the main problem I'm having is with syntax and the way I'm typing things, but in the getting started page for STI the example had "map" in front of pretty much everything but it isn't really recognized as an actual thing when I try it

I'm pretty sure this means I didn't successfully get STI to actually work or get loaded into LOVE or something like that but I honestly have no idea what I'm doing so I can't really figure it out, sorry

Oh also here's the .love file
