a question about love.graphics.newImage( filename )

[Jasoco]

Keep all a games resources inside the .love project ZIP/folder. Eventually you'll have to distribute them anyway. So it doesn't matter how big the project is really. The user will have to download the data eventually.

What if I have an, say, jigsaw puzzle game, and I want to let the user select the image that should be used, how can I achieve that?

Well, they'll either have to place it in the sandbox folder, or you can use the code for downloading files from a server. Unfortunately you can't go out of the sandbox right now for security purposes.

Guys I did the exact same thing as you guys spoke above. I want to load a png spritesheet through

Code: Select all

function love.load()
 heroman = love.graphics.newImage("C:\Users\TESLA\Desktop\Engine\blocky.png")

where Engine is the file where love.exe is located and the whole thing is in the C: drive. When I run this on Love2D 11.1, it gives me an error that there is an invalid escape sequence near '"C:'. I'm really stuck here so if you guys can help I'm really thankful.

...but seriously, i'm gonna assume you googled the topic and didn't check the last message being from 2010.

Anyway, here's another more recent thread about the issue: viewtopic.php?f=4&p=227141#p227141
