Images turn into white squares after time

[MadByte]

yes you are. I posted you the solution and you reposted it - maybe you just overlooked it.

Code: Select all

local image    = love.graphics.newImage("assets/asteroid.png")

function Asteroid:new(x, y)
  self.image    = image
  ...
 

It's just importent that you don't call love.graphics.newImage inside your constructor (Asteroid:new()).
If you prefer it you can also load the image inside another file or in your main, just refer it to your object and dont load the image inside it.

EDIT
Another way to do it:

Code: Select all

-- assets.lua
return {
["playerImage"] = love.graphics.newImage(path),
["enemyImage"] = love.graphics.newImage(otherpath),
}

-- main.lua
assets = require("assets")
...
-- player.lua
...
function Asteroid:new(x, y)
  self.image    = assets.playerImage -- or you draw this image directly from the assets table without assigning it to the player object.
 ...

From what i see, you create a new image..

Code: Select all

playerImg = love.graphics.newImage("assets/player.png")

everytime you instantiate a "Player". So, if you create 300 players, you will also load the same file 300 times.

Try adding to your main love.load()

Code: Select all

function love.load()
	player = Player(0,0)
	playerImg = love.graphics.newImage("assets/player.png")
end

and when you draw the player, just use playerImg as you would.

Tl, dr: Make sure you load a texture just once (newImage) and then use the loaded texture everywhere you need it again.

Also, shouldnt this..

Code: Select all

function Player:new(x, y)
	speed = 500
end

be self.speed = 500? So each player has it's own individual speed?

I put the img in love.load and it still happens, I'm convinced my computer is just broken.

and i would use self.speed if there was gonna be more than 1 player. since theres only one i left it like that

It's weird. You say you have a problem with white square, but the example you posted here works just fine.

thats why im saying its a problem with my computer, its been having loads of issues lately so this must just be one of them

Welp, in that case, it's the general stuff.. Update video drivers, remove internal dust, maybe even reinstall the OS you're currently using.

just out of curiosity .. do you use the latest LÖVE version (0.10.0)? If so - try another one (0.9.2 e.g), if not - try 0.10.0.

I use 0.9.2, I had even more troubles with the latest version where the window would just randomly clear itself of any graphics after a few seconds of running.

Alright. What about other OpenGL based games on your system (e.g Minecraft), do they work as intended? What about other games? Do you have graphical glitches in most of them? Because if the problem is a damaged GPU you should notice more problems like that. If not then it's more likely that there is a problem with your drivers / OS.

My graphics drivers crash frequently lol, the only game i play that crashes is CS:GO, most games like minecraft, league, ect run fine
