Re: I don't understand classes

Okay, so could you upload a recent attempt of yours to use classes? Then we can walk you through it step by step. If you help us help you, I promise it won't be hard.

Re: request. IMAGE instead of USERDATA

You can use this function for that:

Code: Select all

function realType(obj)
    return obj.type and obj:type() or type(obj)
end

Unless you want to save human-readable stuff, my newer library bitser is better. It's superfast, produces smaller files, is safe to use from untrusted sources and supports saving and loading class instances.

Re: Save a map

There isn't really a tutorial yet, but I don't know if it needs one. The snippet I gave above really has all you need.

Re: Distributing your games (making a .love file)

As the error message says, you probably zipped the folder "test" instead of its contents. So in the .zip, there is no main.lua at the top level, just a folder called "test".

Re: Save a map

You could use bitser for example, like this:

Code: Select all

local bitser = require "bitser"
...

function SaveGame(filename)
    bitser.dumpLoveFile(filename, map)
end

function LoadGame(filename)
    map  = bitser.loadLoveFile(filename)
end

I get a black screen as well. :(

Re: Problem with video

Huh, it plays fine for me. If you play the video in your standard videoplayer, does it work normally?

Re: Problem with video

Could you upload the .love (so zip your main.lua with your myvideo.ogv)?
