table.insert(Me,{Img=love.graphics.newImage("love_ball.png");
				x=tx;	
				y=ty})
end

function load()
Me:new(200,200)
Me:new(70,500)
Me:new(200,400)
end

thank for all !

Perhaps you could try explaining what you are trying to do?

Code: Select all

--declare the variable before trying to use it
images = {}

function loadImages()
	
	--load images only once
	loveball = love.graphics.newImage("images/love-ball.png")

end

function newImage(tx,ty)
	
	--use the image reference
	table.insert(images, {img=loveball; x=tx; y=ty})
end

function load()
	
	loadImages()
	
	newImage(200,200)
	newImage(70,500)
	newImage(200,400)
	
	--print stuff into log (check the stdout.txt)
	for key, value in ipairs(images) do
		print(key .. " " .. value.x .. " " .. value.y)
	end
end

function draw()
	
	--draw images
	for key, value in ipairs(images) do
		love.graphics.draw(value.img, value.x, value.y)
	end
	
end

Neolitik: the table:func() notation uses an implicit self, and is equivalent to table.func(self). However, you are using it inconsistently: in the function declaration, you use . but every function call you use :

In this case, you're not using the self argument, so you can either change it to

Code: Select all

function Me.new(tx,ty)

table.insert(Me,{Img=love.graphics.newImage("love_ball.png");
				x=tx;	
				y=ty})
end

function load()
Me.new(200,200)
Me.new(70,500)
Me.new(200,400)
end

or

Code: Select all

function Me:new(tx,ty)

table.insert(self,{Img=love.graphics.newImage("love_ball.png");
				x=tx;	
				y=ty})
end

function load()
Me:new(200,200)
Me:new(70,500)
Me:new(200,400)
end
