BloxDodger - My First Game!

With a bunch of help from other people like Zilarrezko and WindMill Games, I present BloxDodger!
Right now, BloxDodger is in Version 1.0
What do you do? Well, you move your character around a constantly randomized environment of red spawning blocks. They spawn translucent, but eventually turn solid, and are lethal at that point. After a few seconds, the world will turn black, but you still aren't safe. A new batch will be in soon!
Controls are WASD based.
There are a few bugs. If you press Play! quickly after starting up, your character turns red, until the first batch of baddies spawn. Just make sure you move around during this time, otherwise, you'll be killed by idleness.
Right now, there is no real goal, or end of the game. You just play and play until you can't anymore.
To download the current version in the .love format, it is attached at the bottom of this post. If you want an EXE, go here:

I tried it but it throws me back to the main menu after the first batch.

I'm having the same problem. Other than that, looks like a good game
Well done! I really like the simple menus as well
EDIT:
Have you looked into love.graphics.rectangle?? You only have 2 textures, so if you want you
could use love.graphics.rectangle to draw them. You already know how to draw images with transparency, so you'll be familiar with how do it with love.graphics.rectangle.
An (untested) example:
Code: Select all
function Enemy:draw()
if self.age < 2 then
love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255,100)
love.graphics.rectangle("fill",self.x, self.y, 32, 32)
else
love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255,255)
-- 32x32 are the dimensions of the square. You could have these in variables like width and height or something.
-- "fill" means the square will be filled
love.graphics.rectangle("fill",self.x, self.y, 32, 32)
end
love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255,255)
end
You don't
have to do this, I'm just suggesting that for future use it might be a good idea. For example, using this, you can create bigger blocks without having to use scaling in love.graphics.draw, you can just dynamically adjust the width and height.
Great game
I tried to find out why go you back to the main menu after you die, but I can't seem to figure it out!
Sorry!

You're supposed to be thrown back to the menu.
I know there are a few bugs, and I do need to come up with a point to the game, but other than that, thanks for the approval!

until I read the code for player.lua, I had no idea you died if you didn't continually move around, like move or die. I added some lines of code to give me alittle help. I like it . you might consider putting them in as well. here they are:
Code: Select all
--put these into the playerdraw() function. it adds a bar that indicates the time still.
love.graphics.setColor((c.timeStill*63.75), 255-(c.timeStill*63.75),0,200)
love.graphics.rectangle("fill", love.graphics.getWidth()- 600, love.graphics.getHeight()- 80, c.timeStill * 100, 40)
love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255,255)
I look forward to your other projects. keep it up!
