LÖVE

function love.update()
if key == "9" then
for i = 1,9 do
wait(1)
text = i +1
end
end
end

Why won't it work? I know nothing about love objects =-=

Have a look at this.

Yes, please carefully read the forum rules again.

You'll want to use love.keypressed.

Also note there is nothing like "wait(1)" in LÖVE. If it were, doing that would stop everything for a second, completely freezing it, so you can't even close the window. What you do instead is, for example, setting a variable to 0 and adding dt each time in love.update(dt). Once it is larger than the number of seconds you want to wait, you run the code.

Yes. I tried love.timer.sleep(1) once. I was upset.

You have already asked this question, and it was already answered here:

BTW, looking at this loop (which is useless, because the text variable will be always set to "10" after it finishes), I think you should define first what do you mean by "work". It surely works, but seems you expect something different, and I (we?) don't quite understand what that could be.
