Tile-based tutorials

[kikito]

I've just finished Part I of the tutorial - both the code and wiki documentation.

I'll start coding Part II (entities) tomorrow.

In the meantime, please feel free to look around and help me fix any typos, unclear sections, etc:

• Sourcecode of part I
• Wiki

Regards!

i have been working through this tutorial
on this page
the draw code doesnt work

it raises error:

Code: Select all

incorrect parameter type: expected userdata
in fuction drawq

and i beleive its being called over the "char" variable


i did hit another error earlier in the tutorial,
but it was easily corrected, simply to do with a change to

Code: Select all

Quads = {}
for i,quadinfo in ipairs(quadInfo) do
  -- info[1] = x, info[2] = y
  Quads[i] = love.graphics.newQuad(info[i][1], info[i][2], TileW, TileH, tilesetW, tilesetH)
end

thats all i can remember from the fix i did, it has been a while since i did that bit

Hi StoneCrow, thanks for taking the time to review the tutorial and comment here.

i have been working through this tutorial on this page the draw code doesnt work. It raises error:

Code: Select all

incorrect parameter type: expected userdata
in fuction drawq

and i beleive its being called over the "char" variable

Thanks for reporting this. I've made some changes in the code on that section.

Quads = {}
for i,quadinfo in ipairs(quadInfo) do
  -- info[1] = x, info[2] = y
  Quads[i] = love.graphics.newQuad(info[i][1], info[i][2], TileW, TileH, tilesetW, tilesetH)
end

thats all i can remember from the fix i did, it has been a while since i did that bit

I think neither of us where correct then . The correct code is this one:

Code: Select all

  Quads = {}
  for i,info in ipairs(quadInfo) do
    -- info[1] = x, info[2] = y
    Quads[i] = love.graphics.newQuad(info[1], info[2], TileW, TileH, tilesetW, tilesetH)
  end

I've also updated that.

By the way, you know that you can download the source code from the tutorials from https://github.com/kikito/love-tile-tutorial, right?

I've changed the links on the wiki so the source code link is more visible (they are near the top of each section).

Thank you so much! Part 1 was very fun, easy, and informative. Your exercises section inspired me to draw my very first tileset, which came out ok! I can't wait try part 2!! This is my first time coming into game programming, and I'm competing in the global game jam at the end of the month, where you try to build a game in 48 hours.

Thanks, you are very kind!

I hope to be able to start with part 2 this week. I was busy with other stuff before, but now I have no excuse

Good luck with the competition!

Hey i worked through the tutorial again, then combined everything into the main file
and now it works fine
thanks for the tutorial,
are you planning on writing a section on scrolling the tiles without getting those black lines appearing inbetween?

[TechnoCat]

scrolling the tiles without getting those black lines appearing inbetween?

When you draw, floor your x and y values.
