--- Untested code, might've missed some Lua-specific things, but the concept in general should work.

    if math.abs((items[i].y - items[i].x)^2 + (player.y - player.x)^2) <= 32 then -- Use the distance formula to check if the item and player are less than or equal to 32 pixels away
      items[i].seen = true -- If they are, set the item's "seen" variable to true
    end

    if items[i].seen == true then -- Check if the item has been seen
      love.graphics.draw(items[i].sprite, items[i].x, items[i].y) -- If it has been, then draw it! =D
