I followed the physics tutorial:
http://love2d.org/wiki/Tutorial:Physics
and i want to change the red circle to a smiley face. the coding for physics is different than the hampser ball tutorial coding, so i can't do love.graphics.newImage! someone please tell me how to do this.
thanks.

You do still use love.graphics.newImage, just like the hampster ball tutorial. The only difference is, you have to draw it at the coordinates of the physics body. So the code would be like this:
Code: Select all
love.graphics.love.graphics.draw( hamster, objects.ball.body:getX(), objects.ball.body:getY() )

I tried that and got:
Error
main.lua:49: attempt to index global 'object'(a nil value)
help?

object ~= objects
