for i= 1 ,5 do
love.graphics.draw(' image','100,100)
end

and i also used the x but still didnt? worked

Right now you are putting all the images in the same spot. The two numbers after image are the location of the image. So you need to make sure each image is in a different location on the screen by varying the first number you give out (if you want to put them in a horizontal row)

Also, you have to create an image resource, not the word image as a string.

Try something like this:

Code: Select all

image = love.graphics.newImage( 'image.png' ) -- make sure an image.png exists next to your main.lua
for i = 1, 5 do
  love.graphics.draw( image, 50 + 50 * i, 100 )
end

Okay what am i doing wrong???
i am trying to make random text appears
did i used random wrong? or whats???

Code: Select all

function love.load()	
	v ={t1,t2}
	t1 =('first text')
	t2 =('second text')
end

function love.draw()
	for k,v in pairs(v) do
		g.setColor(255,255,255,255)				
		g.print(k,math.random(v),100,100) 
	end	
end

Ye got the order wrong:

Code: Select all

function love.load()	
	t1 =('first text')
	t2 =('second text')
	v ={t1,t2}
end

Actually, no. What happened with your code is, when you write this:

Code: Select all

v ={t1,t2}

You create a table, and you save a reference to this table in a variable named v.
In this very table, you insert some other variables named t1 and t2.
But, since t1 and t2 are not defined yet, they are both nil. So,

Code: Select all

v={t1,t2}

results in:

Code: Select all

v={nil,nil}

Then right after that, you create tables t1 and t2, but they have no relationship with the previous table v.
Hence Robin's comment:

Ye got the order wrong

.

So you should have defined tables t1 and t2 first, then insert them into table v.
