Assuming this is asking for length, modulus, and string split, the answer is yes. This is because the entire
Lua language is at your disposal.
Length

Modulus

Split

If yes then how ?
LEN: if you mean the length of a string or table, #somestring or #sometable
MOD: if you mean the remainder of a division, a % b
SPLIT: if you mean splitting a string into substrings by means of delimiters, see

Thanks for your help.
It will take time, something to understand how it works.
I first saw(see) what LUA only a week ago. (thanks "Love2D")

width = Font:getWidth(font)
Where is the problem, please help.

you probably wanted
Code: Select all
height = font:getHeight()
width = font:getWidth()

You are storing your font object in the variable 'font', notice the lowercase 'f'.
Then later you are trying to reference it with Font, with a capital 'F'.
I repeat:
Code: Select all
height = font:getHeight()
width = font:getWidth()

Now wait a second... I don't think setFont returns a font object, does it? (It does not.)

function love.load()
font = love.graphics.setFont("courbi.ttf", 15);
height = font:getHeight();
width = font:getWidth();
end
function love.draw()
love.graphics.print("my project",100,100,0,1,1);
end
Please, update this code.

I think you need to use newFont first, and then use setFont - like this:
Code: Select all
function love.load()
font = love.graphics.newFont("courbi.ttf", 15); --changed 'setFont' to 'newFont'
height = font:getHeight();
end
function love.draw()
love.graphics.setFont(font); -- invoked setFont here
width = font:getWidth("my project"); -- moved getWidth here and added the string
love.graphics.print("my project",100,100,0,1,1);
end
Notice that you are not really using 'height' and 'width' at all; the program will work exactly the same if you do this:
Code: Select all
function love.load()
font = love.graphics.newFont("courbi.ttf", 15);
end
function love.draw()
love.graphics.setFont(font);
love.graphics.print("my project",100,100); -- the 0,1,1 parameters have default values, you don't need to add them
end
(btw guys, I still think that love.graphics.setFont(filename, size) and love.graphics.setFont(size) are a bad idea - they lead to confusion, as seen here. Separating font loading / creation from font setting is The Right Thing To Do)
EDIT: getWith needs the string
