Help spawning objects?

Post by Amatereasu »

hello! ^^ i started learning Lua and Love a few days ago, and ive been working on a rhythm game project that i've always wanted to make
anyway.
ive looked around for this and it all seems pretty complicated and shit just goes over my head when theres so many words in front of me XD and i have to try to apply other peoples specific experiences to mine

could i get a breakdown on how to spawn an object using a table? i want a note to spawn on the far right and arrive at the strum line in a certain amount of seconds (im pretty sure i know how to do that but if anyone would like to help i would be very grateful :cry:)
thank you in advance :3

so far what it looks like :P

Code: Select all

objects= {}

function newObject (x, y, vx, vy)
  local obj = {x=x, y=y, vx=vx, vy=vy}
  return obj
end

table.insert (objects, newObject (1,2,3,4))
table.insert (objects, newObject (2,3,4,5))
