Help with a 3 lives game

[100sle]

I'm trying to make a game when you have 3 lives and if you loose your lives, game over. I've tried to put in this code...

function.load ()
lives = 3
paused = false;
end
if paused print("Game Over", 0, 0)
if lives = 0 then paused = true
end

function takeScore(n)
lives = lives - tonumber(n)
if lives < 1 then
lives = 0
end
end

Please use the [ code ] tags.

There are at least three syntax errors in your code (although one of them is valid, but doesn't do what you thought).

Code: Select all

function load()
    lives = 3
    paused = false --redundant unless you call this function multiple times
end

function takeScore(n)
    lives = lives - n
    paused = lives < 1 and true
end

--presumably
function love.graphics.draw()
    if paused then love.graphics.print("Game Over", 0, 0) end
end

Code: Select all

paused = lives < 1 and true

is the same as

Code: Select all

paused = lives < 1
