Well, you are literally not drawing anything, just setting a text color to something very close to black. Try with more code including examples and tutorials and then come back to forum, if the issue persists.

I've done this before, the code is for an example. No matter what I write, he's still black

setColor only affects future instructions, what you are doing here is essentially telling the program 'next time I tell you to draw something, draw it this colour', but that's it. Without telling it what to draw, it will not do anything. You might be thinking of love.graphics.setBackgroundColor instead.

Not really sure what you mean here, (1,1,1) is pure white, and it effects most draw instructions, not just text.

Ah yes, sorry, I always think in 0-255 interval of CSS colors. It does not matter after all, you just set the color and don't do anything else.

Maybe you wanted to use love.graphics.setBackgroundColor instead?

Here's a small demo, see if this works.

Code: Select all

function love.draw()
  local t = -love.timer.getTime()/4
  love.graphics.setBackgroundColor( t%1, (t/3)%1, (t/7)%1)
end

ok, the question is closed, I tried everything, nothing helped, I got tired of it and reinstalled Windows, after which everything worked

If reinstalling your OS solved the issue, it might have been that your GPU's drivers were at fault. AMD driver 22.7.1 for example is known to cause love2d to output purely black visuals.
