Loops

[Batrachus]

I was looking for loops on wiki, on forums and I didnt found anything. So I ask: Do in Löve exist loops? I mean for, while etc. Thanks for answers.

[bmelts]

Yes, they do. LÖVE uses Lua, which has loops built-in.

As anjo said, LOVE uses Lua (a programming language). I recommend learning the fundamentals of it before starting out. Programming in Lua is how I learned Lua.

I found it. Thx, BlackBulletIV.

So, these are loops? I find it confusing. Im not wont to programm in this.

http://www.lua.org/pil/4.3.3.html - this is like do while?
http://www.lua.org/pil/4.3.2.html
http://www.lua.org/pil/4.3.4.html
http://www.lua.org/pil/4.3.5.html - this is like foreach?

[BlackBulletIV]

Yes those are loops. You'll get used to it .

4.3.3 is like:

Code: Select all

do
{
  // ...
} while !condition;

4.3.2 is obvious.

4.3.4 is like:

Code: Select all

for (double i = start; i <= end; i += countBy)

4.3.5 works off iterator functions. Read up on iterators to learn more. So it's closest relative in the Cish languages is foreach.

On my love tile tutorial I have a section speaking about loops. I'll leave it here in case it is useful.
