Having trouble with code

[ZBoyer1000]

I have been following a tutorial on developing a game on Love 0.8.0 for a couple of days, but I am having trouble getting it to work properly.
I don't know if the code has been changed for Love 0.10.0. Can anybody be able to please help me with this?

Other than the fact that you don't seem to call p:draw() in love.draw, i see only two additional issues.

First, you should make the Player table local, and return it at the end of the file, so you don't declare globals all over the place, like so:

Code: Select all

-- in player.lua
local Player = {}
...
return Player

Then, in main.lua, you could require player.lua to its own local.

Code: Select all

-- in main.lua
local Player = require 'player'

This keeps code clean, since you can actually see what you required where, and into what, though this is more of a suggestion than a necessity.

The other, bigger issue is that in player.lua's update and draw methods, you're using colon (:) syntax, which passes the object as the parameter called self, not p that you use everywhere. Either replace p.everything with self.everything in those two functions (not in new), or instead of Player:update(dt) and Player:draw(), use Player.update(p, dt) and Player.draw(p).

Also, 0.8.x tutorials will probably be outdated in aspects regarding löve itself, so do consult with the wiki often.
