Something is wrong with my code

[danukas155]

So I am trying to make snake again, to try adding AI to it, but I got stuck with the tail, I checked my code about 10 time and still can't find the problem. When snake eats the fruit the tail length changes only when I pass the fruit fully with all body, not instantly. I have made a snake before and checked its code with my current snake, everything looks fine. Maybe you can spot what is wrong with it.

Code: Select all

function movementUpdate(movements)
  tails()
  if movements == 1 then
    snake.head.x = snake.head.x - snake.size
  elseif movements == 2 then
    snake.head.x = snake.head.x + snake.size
  end
  if movements == 3 then
    snake.head.y = snake.head.y - snake.size
  elseif movements == 4 then
    snake.head.y = snake.head.y + snake.size
  end
  timer = 0
end

function scoring()
  if snake.head.x == apple.x - apple.size / 2 and snake.head.y == apple.y - apple.size / 2 then
    score = score + 1
    snake.body.amount = snake.body.amount + 1
    snake.body.x[snake.body.amount] = snake.body.x[snake.body.amount - 1]
    snake.body.y[snake.body.amount] = snake.body.y[snake.body.amount - 1]
    tails()
    appleCreation()
  end
end

function tails()
  snake.body.x[0] = snake.head.x
  snake.body.y[0] = snake.head.y
  if snake.body.amount > 0 then
    for i = snake.body.amount, 1, - 1 do
      snake.body.x[i] = snake.body.x[i - 1]
      snake.body.y[i] = snake.body.y[i - 1]
    end
  end
end

this is the only part where I used snake.body

Just give us the full .love file.
Following an out of context logic is kinda hard.

Also, this kind of question goes into support, not in general.

Not to mention that the problem might be somewhere else (happens quite often).

Code: Select all

    snake.body.x[snake.body.amount] = snake.body.x[snake.body.amount - 1]
    snake.body.y[snake.body.amount] = snake.body.y[snake.body.amount - 1]

Why are you storing x and y in two separated tables?
