x-position = 400

That's teleporting.
But what you want to do is this:

Code: Select all

x-position = x-position + speed

And I can recommend you to use dt (deltatime).
So in the end you get something like this:

Code: Select all

function love.main()
image = newImage("image")
x = 10
y = 200
speed = 100
end

function love.update(dt)
x = x + speed * dt
end

function love.draw()
love.graphics.draw(image,x,y)
end

What i mean is that i want to move a desired amount of pixels and then stop.
Thanks anyway

velocity.y = velocity.y + gravity * dt

Is it for jumping or for smooth movement?
If you want to implement jumping, then you do it just like Sheepolution suggested and in each timestep do

Code: Select all

velocity.y = velocity.y + gravity * dt

That way the object will have a highest point and fall back down.

If you just want smooth movement you need two pairs of coordinates: target-coordinates and actual-coordinates. The actual-coordinates are the ones, where you draw the object and the target-coordinates are the ones, where the object should move. Each timestep move the actual-coordinates towards the target-coordinates (it's called tweening).
