SAVING IS (MISSION ACCOMPLISHED)

LOADING IS NOT (MISSION FAILED)
if you press L it "blues"...

Just don't load the first time. So, start game go to a level. Exit. Start again. Press l

Well, things don't work that way. "Use L to load." So I did. You enabled "Loading" without a safe precautioning when file isnt created. Not my fault but yours. Just fix it because the solution is simple. But don't even tell me it's my fault. lol.

Hello, welcome to the project. The problem is that you after create the code you forgot to test it and think in all possibilities. You were working always with a file created in your directory but forgot what would happen if one is not there. Just use https://love2d.org/wiki/love.filesystem.exists and disable load option if a file isn't present. Users can't guess that they shouldn't press load when playing for the first time right?

I'll be sure to fix that in v0.0007

Hey, just tried it out. The movement is very smooth, especially when I'm trying to go around corners really quickly. The one thing I really want to be able to do though is just hold down one of the arrow keys to move continuously. Repeatedly tapping an arrow key to go straight for multiple squares is just so tiring! Anyway good stuff, I look forward to future releases.

Noted, will be added in the near future.

Thanks for the advice, I should have considered that.

I am trying to add a death system: when you die or are killed the screen turns black and the words GAME OVER appear. Can anybody tell me how this is done.

I am trying to add a death system: when you die or are killed the screen turns black and the words GAME OVER appear. Can anybody tell me how this is done.

How about something like:

Code: Select all

player = { --Assigns stuff to player. 1(exept for background) is true, 0 is false
        grid_x = 256,
        grid_y = 256,
        act_x = 200,
        act_y = 200,
        speed = 10,
	direction = 1,
	health = 100,
	sword = 1,
	shield = 0,
        death=false
	level=1
}
       deathtext=' GAME OVER'

In love.update(dt), you could put something like

Code: Select all

if player.health==0 then
     player.death=true
end

You cancel a bunch of other stuff with player.death, too.
the love.draw would be:

Code: Select all

function love.draw()
  if not player.death then
	love.graphics.print("This is the help for this game.\nUse the arrow keys the control the player.\nUse L to load. You save when you exit the game.\nAlpha v.0.0007\n\n\n\nDebugging Info:\nFPS:"..fps.."\nRandom:"..monster.."\nMonsters(True/False):"..mon.."\nHealth:"..player.health.."\nSword(True/False):"..player.sword.."", 500, 30) --help
		for y=1, #map do --draws the map
			for x=1, #map[y] do
				if map[y][x] == 1 then
					love.graphics.draw(wall, x * 32 , y * 32)
				end
				if map[y][x] == 2 then
					love.graphics.draw(checkpoint, x * 32 , y * 32 )
				end
				if map[y][x] == 3 then
					love.graphics.draw(decheck, x * 32 , y * 32 )
				end
				if map[y][x] == 0 then
					love.graphics.draw(flor, x * 32 , y * 32 )
				end
				if map[y][x] == 4 then
					love.graphics.draw(chest, x * 32 , y * 32 )
				end
				if map[y][x] == 5 then
					love.graphics.draw(boss_1, x * 32 , y * 32 )
				end
			end
		end
		if player.direction==1 then --prints the direction of player
			love.graphics.draw(guy_u, player.act_x, player.act_y)
		elseif player.direction==2 then
			love.graphics.draw(guy_d, player.act_x, player.act_y)
		elseif player.direction==3 then
			love.graphics.draw(guy_l, player.act_x, player.act_y)
		elseif player.direction==4 then
			love.graphics.draw(guy_r, player.act_x, player.act_y)
		end
	end
	if player.death then
		love.graphics.print(deathtext,100,300)
	end
end
