I need help.

[Ethan]

I'm new to Love, as well as lua. I'm trying to learn from the tutorials on the wiki, but i have a problem. I'm trying to do this tutorial: http://love2d.org/wiki/Tutorial:Hamster_Ball
I did everything that the wiki told me to, but whenever I try to run it i get this:

Error
Could not open file hamster.png. Does not exist.
Traceback
[C]: ?
[C]: in function 'newimage'
main.lua: 2: in function 'load'
[C]: in function 'xpcall'

I'm not exactly sure why it isn't working. Please help.

Did you download the hamster image, place it in the same directory as the main.lua and rename it hamster.png?

Yes, I did. However I notice that when I have it selected, although it is named hamsterr.png, it shows it as a "Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 Image". It seems like it should be a PNG file, right?

If you are working on windows and have the "hide known extensions" default option on, you may have renamed the file to "hamster.png.png". So you read "hamster.png" but only because Windows hides the known ".png" extension.

Your code references to hamster.png, not hamsterr.png.

Ok, it works now thanks. I'll keep that in mind in future programs.
