Here, you are trying to call math.random with non-integer arguments:

Code: Select all

ev.direction = game.direction[math.floor(math.random(1.01, 4.99))]

In this case, math.random seems to sometimes return a value >= 5. Don't ask me why,
game.direction[5] is not a valid direction. This ultimately results in the error davisdude posted above.

You also repeat the same piece of code multiple times. You should probably turn it into a function.

Here is a patch that fixes the error, and also turns the repeated code into a function: https://gist.github.com/crumblingstatue ... 41b91128f2
The diff is a bit messed up because the code uses mixed space/tab indentation.

EDIT: On an unrelated note, does the game window have to be so high? I use a resolution of 1024x768. I know that today, most people use resolutions higher than that, but still. It does not seem necessary for this game.

Enemies can't go through walls but you can???
Enemies colliding with enemies give weird results.
And of course, you need

Code: Select all

math.random(10,49)/10

Need a scoring system.
Good start - keep at it.
