LÖVE

Hi,
on a different topic

getting through the tutorial, and the program returns an error (attempting to perform a numerical operation on player.x). Why is that?

In love.load you are loading your image into the "player" table, which means it no longer has the attributes you defined on the first line.
Edit:
Should be

Code: Select all

player = {x = 200, y = 710, speed = 150, img = nil}

function love.load(arg)
  player = love.graphics.newImage('assets/ship.png')
end
function love.update(dt)
  if love.keyboard.isDown('escape') then
      love.event.push('quit')
    end
  if love.keyboard.isDown('left') then
    player.x = player.x - (player.speed*dt)
  end
  
end
function love.draw(dt)
love.graphics.draw (player, 100,100)
end

You are overwriting the player table in love.load:

player = love.graphics.newImage('assets/ship.png')

Instead assign to player.sprite or something like that, then also change your drawing code.

BTW your love.draw always draws to 100,100 - you probably want player.x, player.y instead there.

I totally ninja'd you
