Entity moving to a x position, not a y

[n1ghtk1n9]

Sorry for the horrible title, I didn't know how to explain it.

I'm trying to make it so a entity(that randomly spawns) moves to another randomly generated x and y position, but for some reason, it's only shifting to the X position, not the Y

Also, how can I get it so that the entity moves slower?

I can't figure out what your problem is exactly, or how to recreate it, could you elaborate on that?

Right, so, first of all your game is packaged incorrectly. I'm not sure if it's because you used gzip compression or not, or whether you packaged a folder. See Game Distribution for that.

I'm not sure what the creator of that font was thinking, but you should definitely not use it. It is far too large and is subsequently slow to load (1024+KB, most fonts are ~15KB). Honestly, I cannot stress how terrible this font is.

Your conf.lua currently does nothing. It needs to be in the root project directory (he's best friends with main.lua). If you're not using it, you may want to add t.love.physics = false to that too.

You can save yourself a lot of effort by creating your tables differently. Currently you're doing this:

Code: Select all

soldier = {}
soldier.x = 100
soldier.y = 100
soldier.life = 6
soldier.name = "Isperia"
card.draw = function()
    love.graphics.rectangle("fill", soldier.x, soldier.y, 16, 16)
end
--draw call
soldier.draw()

You could do it like this:

Code: Select all

soldier = {
    x = 100,
    y = 100,
    life = 6,
    name = "Isperia",
    draw = function(self)
        love.graphics.rectangle("fill", self.x, self.y, 16, 16)
    end
}
--draw call
soldier:draw()

The latter example is much cleaner (in my opinion) and saves a lot of repetitive typing/tab-completing.

As for moving the image slowly..... that's just a case of adjusting its position by smaller values? Not really sure what you mean here (I must be interpreting the question wrong?).

You also might want to look into object libraries (I recommend slither) or lua metatables so that you can re-use these table structures easily.
