Well, if that's how you're managing it in your game, I can pretty much see what you are doing wrong: you're trying to change a variable that doesn't exists. Okay, you can see it there on love.load, but the game doesn't. It is inside a table, which means that the variable should always be associated to the table. In your code, replace all the "add" that is alone by "player.add" or "player["add"]". This way, you'll be telling the game that the right variable to look for is inside the table "player", and not by itself

AAAAND someone posted before me. Pretty much the same thing

Code: Select all

love.graphics.print("moves:" .. player.add, 100, 100)
