You simply draw an image on 0, 0. See love.graphics.draw.

If you just want another colour as background, you can use love.graphics.setBackgroundColor

As Robin said, you can simply draw an image in 0,0, but before drawing/printing anything else

Be sure you do this. If you do:

Code: Select all

love.graphics.draw(player, ...)
love.graphics.draw(background, ...)
The player won't be seen The draw order is back-to-front.

Learn to layer. Draw your background stuff first. Then your player and enemies and other objects. Then anything you might want overlayed, like in-game details like tree leaves or the tops of houses. And lastly, HUD text.

The order you draw in, the order it gets drawn. Easy as that.
