I am trying to display an image on screen, but when I draw it all I'm getting is a white box. Here's the main.lua:
Code: Select all
function love.load()
img = love.graphics.newImage("tile0.png")
end
function love.draw()
love.graphics.draw(img)
end
Am I doing something wrong with the .draw method?

Might I ask where you stored the images?

@Noble
Images are in the same folder as the main.lua file, I wouldn't suspect problems with the file path. Although I did notice that LOVE removes backslashes (\). Any way to get around that for files stored in other places?
@Nevon
PO2 syndrome seemed to be the culprit. Thanks a bunch. Karma++

You should be using *NIX style paths. So gfx/my_fancy_image.png, not gfx\my_fancy_image.png

Also, LÖVE doesn't remove backslashes, Lua does. This allows you to do things like:
Code: Select all
text = "one line of text\nsecond line of text."
print(text)
-- prints:
-- one line of text
-- second line of text
