I have a question.

"Thanks" "people" of course wouldn't, unless you set the metatable of strings to automatically concatenate when __call is used.

Not even then, because you'd need to surround the first literal in parentheses.

Code: Select all

> getmetatable('').__call = function(self, other) return self..other end
> ='a' 'b'
stdin:1: '<eof>' expected near ''b''
> =('a') 'b'
ab

Code: Select all

function love.load()
  scrx = 640; scry = 480; zx = (scrx/2); zy = (scry/2); zi = 200; 
  love.graphics.setMode(scrx, scry, false, true, 0); 
  love.graphics.setFont(30);
end

function love.draw()
  love.graphics.line(zx - zi, zy, zx + zi, zy); 
  love.graphics.line(zx, zy - zi, zx, zy + zi);

  -- please update this - "printF" code
  love.graphics.printf("start".." ".."game" ,zx, zy, 0, "center")
end

Please update this - "printF" code

Well, using 0 as width seems pretty useless.

Please update this - "printF" code

What do you mean? Is there a problem?

I want to add a simple word "start game" in the center of the screen.
Instead, the command "printF" divides it ("start game") in half.
what is wrong.

Here is the code.
love.graphics.printf("start game" ,320, 240, 0, "center")

Your fourth argument is the limit. How far the string can go before it's split into more lines.
So if your screen is 800x600, and you want "start game" in the middle, you'd do:

Code: Select all

love.graphics.printf("Start game", 0, 300, 800, "center")

Just read the docs:
http://love2d.org/wiki/love.graphics.printf

Now everything is clear.

Code: Select all

scrx = 640; scry = 480; 
love.graphics.printf("start game" , 0, (scry/2), scrx, "center")

Thanks for help. :]

Nobody wants to create a joint project on "Love2D" ?

Separately to create a hard and together, we force(power).

I know this is off topic, but some BBcode formatting in printf would be nice...

Try practising some little things before trying to delve right into a big project.

@zac: very offtopic
but for something not quite but similar to what you want, see RichText.
