Player movement

[Incrypt]

My player moves only right and down and Im not very sure how to make him go up and left.

Also I use a windows 7 and not sure how to change the zip but I'll just give you the main.lua coding

function love.load()

love.graphics.setBackgroundColor(0,0,0)

medium = love.graphics.newFont(45)

picture = love.graphics.newImage("test.jpg")

testx = 300
testy = 300

end

function love.update()
if love.keyboard.isDown("right") then
testx = testx + 1
end

if love.keyboard.isDown("down") then
testy = testy + 1
end


end

function love.draw()
love.graphics.draw(picture,testx, testy)

end

Hi, Incrypt.
Welcome on the Love forums, where everyone makes löve everyday!
First of all, please consider wrapping your snippets of code with code tags. It makes it easier to read.

I don't get this one. Restate, please.

Fair enough, just make use of "left" and "up" keys, and act on coordinates in the opposite of what you already did for "right" and "down" moves.

Code: Select all

-- same as before

function love.update()
  if love.keyboard.isDown("right") then
    testx = testx + 1
  end
  if love.keyboard.isDown("left") then
    testx = testx - 1
  end
  if love.keyboard.isDown("down") then
    testy = testy + 1
  end
  if love.keyboard.isDown("up") then
    testy = testy - 1
  end
end

-- same as before

"Also, I'm using Windows 7 and I'm not sure on how to change the .zip extension to .love, so I'll just give you main.lua content" (I think)

[Roland_Yonaba]

So just follow this guide to unhide file extensions, then change the "zip" part to "love".
