Hello Fellow Lovers,
My name is Angus & I'm new to Love. Love was recently recommended to me, so I downloaded the Installer File from Love's web-page. I've installed everything successfully, or so I think, but for some reason every time I open Love by clicking it's Icon, a transparent window pops-up titles *TANK* you for using LOVE 0.6.2 (Jiggly Juice). The window also reacts extremely slow. The reaction time of moving it is horrible. Unfortunately I'm new to Love, & I've never used this program before, so I don't know how to solve it... That's my first issue, & yes I have a second issue.
I read on the "Beginner" page of LOVE that dragging a folder containing your main.lua onto the LOVE icon will display your program. I did this with no success. I use the Geany Text Editor. All I saves was this:
function love.draw()
love.graphics.print("Hello World", 400, 300)
end
function love.load()
love.graphics.setMode(640, 480, false, true, 0)
love.graphics.setCaption("Hubfolio - Love Demo")
player = love.graphics.newImage("aron.jpeg")
end
function love.draw()
love.graphics.draw(player, 320, 472, 0, 1, 1, 14, 8)
end
I saved it as a .lua file in my folder. Then I dragged the folder onto my Desktop. Then dragged it onto the LOVE icon. Unfortunately this still didn't work. Could you please help me. I'm very new to this.
Thanks,
Angus

Re: Installation Issues... Newbie.
what did it say? the TANKS thing should not be transparent, try copying SDL.dll to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 if your using windows.
Re: Installation Issues... Newbie.
Could you explain how I would do that? Sorry, I'm new.
Re: Installation Issues... Newbie.
I copied the SDl file into the System32 folder. Unfortunately it's still transparent when opening love.

Could we get a screenshot?

I hope we can help you.
Also:
Code: Select all
function love.draw()
love.graphics.print("Hello World", 400, 300)
love.graphics.draw(player, 320, 472, 0, 1, 1, 14, 8) -- if you redefine love.draw, the old one is overwritten
end
function love.load()
love.graphics.setMode(640, 480, false, true, 0) -- this
love.graphics.setCaption("Hubfolio - Love Demo") -- and this line are better converted to some conf.lua settings. No biggie, though.
player = love.graphics.newImage("aron.jpeg")
end
Help us help you: attach a .love.

Why is windows so obsessed with being reset? I mean, it's practically the start for any customer support script.Vinreal wrote:Thank You for all your kinds responsed. I managed to get it working by re-starting my PC. Thanks.

and the start of any windows joke
how dose the Microsoft software engineer try to fix his car?
1) close all windows
2) restart the car
3) turn it off and wait for a while
4) turn it back on
5) press horn or alternately break
