You'll have better luck getting help if you include a .love file or show some relevant source code. Are you new to programming in general, or just LÖVE? You're probably looking for how to detect collisions between two rectangles, aka "Axis-Aligned Bounding Boxes" (AABB). Here's an article on that subject with source code that's easily converted to Lua.

Here is The Game Open The File And Continue And It Will Be Extractedhttps://www.mediafire.com/file/4jc051tk ... e.exe/file (Its For Windows Only)

Instructions unclear, mediafire gave me a trojan and now my computer won't boot







But seriously, upload a love file without combining it with love.exe, onto the forums here; there's an upload attachment button.

Edit: Don't worry about it It's just the safer way, and i actually did almost get one in the past from there... it depends on the ads they show you.

ah not a problem i understand that popups can come randomly and make this happen but i think adblocker blocks them anyways

1. Not critical, but you might want to look into using the "local" keyword when declaring your variables (global variables are, in general, bad practice).

2. This does absolutely nothing:

Code: Select all

love.timer.step(playerx - playery)

3. Get rid of the ox/oy arguments to draw (they just make the math more complicated):

Code: Select all

love.graphics.draw(playerimg, playerx, playery)

4. Initialize playery to be the correct value in love.load:

Code: Select all

playery = platformy - 16

5. Check for collisions like this at the end of your love.update function:

Code: Select all

if playerx < 300 + 19 and
    playerx + 29 > 300 and
    playery < 220 + 13 and
    playery + 16 > 220 then
  print "Collision!"
end

Note that the above code is basically directly translated from that link I shared earlier.

where do i exactly put that code?
nevermind

Code: Select all

if playerx < 300 + 19 and
    playerx + 29 > 300 and
    playery < 220 + 13 and
    playery + 16 > 220 then
  print "Collision!"
end
