Hi,

welcome to the löve community.

first a general comment: If löve tells you about an error, it always says where the error is. In this case

Code: Select all

main.lua:1
means first line in main.lua.

The solution: You forgot the quotation marks in the require commands. Put

Code: Select all

require "player"
require "map"
then the error is gone.

You get some other error after that one, mostly typos: In one file you put a "=" instead "-", you misspelled keyboard in one file and last you forgot one "end" in the map collision part.
After you fix these errors, it works.
