Description:
I made this little test of my AI skills, my brother wouldn't stop bugging me, and now it's a little evolution game.

Notes:
To modify the world size, edit the variables "worldx" and "worldy" by pressing enter. ("cont" resumes execution.) Carnivores have not been added as a default yet because they are unusually glitchy.
From 1.3.6 onward, I am now using version numbers that are not really weird.

Have fun!

Controls:
H - Show healthbars (glitchy)
S - Save (huge file)
L - Load
Print Screen - Screenshot
Arrow Keys - Move Camera
Page Keys - Camera Speed
F2 - Apocalypse
F11 - Toggle Fullscreen (doesn't leave, for some reason)
Enter/Return - debug.debug()
F1 - Print cell/food stats (lag bomb)
Left Click - Place a cell
Right Click - Place a plant
Middle Click - Eraser of Dooom!

I got this error:

Code: Select all

main.lua:1: attempt to call field '_openConsole' (a nil value)

Same here. Commenting out that first line solves it though. I gotta say, this game is very strangely written.

Your love doesn't support opening the console?

Thank you.

btw, what version of love DO you have?

That is the first time I hear about that function. I don't think it is standard.

If you are trying to open up a console, the correct way is using the config file.

btw, what version of love DO you have?

I have love 0.6.2 in Ubuntu.

I did a dump of love (table.foreach(love,print)), and love._openConsole was sitting there, just asking for me to asign a key to run debug.debug().

Anyway, thanks for showing me the right way.

love._openConsole() is an internal function, which probably only exists on windows. On a related sidenote: table.foreach()? From the wiki page "Incompatibilities with the Previous Version":

Functions table.foreach and table.foreachi are deprecated. You can use a for loop with pairs or ipairs instead.

I like table.foreach. It's useful when you don't need 5 lines of code to do one thing. ;o
