While it is generally a good idea to use the self-shortcut, this is not the problem here. The table player can be accessed with its name.

The problem in the code is that the function player.load() is never called. Make sure that when you change to the game-state that you call player.load.

In your current implementation you seem to have a gamestate and every time you change the game state you redefine love.draw() and love.update() and also love.load(). Note that love.load() is really only called once in the very beginning. If you change state you have to call it manually.

Besides that I suggest you do not redefine the love-main functions. It might look cleaner in the code, because you save one if-condition. But debugging can get more tedious because the function name is not unique anymore (debugging is still possible, because you get the file and line number).

So better do an in-condition in the main loop:

Code: Select all

function love.update(dt)
  if state == 'menu' then
    menu.update(dt)
  elseif state == 'level1' then
    level1.update(dt)
  end
end

and have individual update functions in each file (the same goes for drawing and keyboard/mouse handling).

Oh, and I suggest next time you use the code-tags instead of pasting an image of the code. That way it is easier for us to copy the code and help you.
