Buttons? What? Maybe you're looking for one of the GUI libraries that you can use to make buttons: bottom-right area of main wiki page

So Mates,

holidays...sun is shining and i am sitting in front of my PC and try to add buttons bymyself,
i am not the best programmer but ill try it to figure it out so.

I've got a way to display "buttons" but: (Jeah the big BUT..)

I dont know how the hell i can identify my buttons with names..ill post my way to do it.

Code: Select all

--[[Functions]]--
--[[ A function to create a Button with a couple of Attributes
Attributes:
      name = name of the button *test*
      type = is it filled?
   x_start = start-position X-Axis
   y_start = start-position Y-Axis
     witdh = witdh off the button
    height = height off the button
   caption = text in the middle of the button
text_color = color of the text
     color = color of the button
]]--

function create_button(type,x_start,y_start,witdh,height,caption,text_color,color,nr)
    love.graphics.setColor( color )
	love.graphics.rectangle( type, x_start, y_start, witdh, height)
	love.graphics.setColor( text_color )
	love.graphics.draw(caption,x_start+witdh/2-font_size/2,y_start+height/2)
end

So thats my way! A function with alot of parameters.
It creates a rectangle with a text in it, if it created once, i couldnt "talk to it"
thats all thank you

Tables

Please let us know whether you're ok with reading this documentation (and whether you understood how to use them if you did) or if you need more guidance.

Hey.

After reading the table stuff take a look at my sample. Arrays/Tables are necessary for mostly everything you'll ever do (in programming) so get used to them The supplied demo is really basic but it's mostly what you tried to do. Except the color Stuff, who needs colors anyway Anyways, I hope this will help you a bit. Try to modify the script a little. Maybe make a button & function to make new buttons on the fly. Should be a no-brainer.
