Table Problems Is it Lua JIT?

[Ekamu]

Is there anything different with how Lua JIT uses tables?
I tried running this code but it says theres an error in main, line 4, y is a nil value.

I know C, so what am I doing wrong? Try running this code as your love.main

Code: Select all

function love.load()
    screen = {}
    screen.x  = 100,
    screen.y  = 5,
    screen.w  = 600,
    screen.h  = 400,
    
    msg = {}
    msg.x  = 0,
    msg.y  = 405,
    msg.w  = 800,
    msg.h  = 160,
    
    face = {}
    face.x = 5,
    face.y = 5,
    face.w = 96,
    face.h = 96,
    
    stat = {}
    stat.x = 700,
    stat.y = 5,
    stat.w = 96,
    stat.h = 400, 
end

function love.update(dt)    
end

function love.draw()
    love.graphics.rectangle("line", screen.x, screen.y, screen.w, screen.h)
    love.graphics.rectangle("line", msg.x, msg.y, msg.w, msg.h)
    for i = 1, 4 do 
    love.graphics.rectangle("line", face.x, (i*face.y), face.w, face.h)
    end
    love.graphics.rectangle("line", stat.x, stat.y, stat.w, stat.h)
end

you only need to use commas (,) if you put your members into the table definition, not do it externally. Let me show you what i mean:

Code: Select all

Table = {
  v1 = 5,
  v2 = 'h',
  -- etc...
}

vs.

Code: Select all

Table = {}
v1 = 5
v2 = 'h'
-- etc

Basically, to the parser, it seemed that you tried to do

Code: Select all

screen.x = 4, screen.y

so it tried to access screen.y on the 4th line, and failed.
In short, remove those commas.

Or you can do it with commas.

Code: Select all

screen.x, screen.y = 100, 5

Im guessing callback functions are written just like C right?

function love.load() {

}

or

function love.load [

]

???

Ill read this tutorial. http://cellux.github.io/articles/introd ... it-part-1/

That tutorial is mixing the C api part with the lua part in, as far as i see it. (since it assumes you writing the c part of your code as well; with love, that's a bit moot)
And if you want callback functions in lua, then you do it the usual way:

Code: Select all

function callback(params)
--...
end

-- or

callback = function(params)
--...
end

[Ekamu]

So do we have any arguments (paramas) that are new with the basic load, update and draw callbacks.

This is LuaJIT 2.0.3 Im guessing?

Code: Select all

local accent_maps = {
   hu = {
     ['á'] = 'a',
     ['é'] = 'e',
     ['í'] = 'i',
     ['ó'] = 'o',
     ['ú'] = 'u',
     ['ö'] = 'o',
     ['ü'] = 'u',
     ['ő'] = 'o',
     ['ű'] = 'u',
   },
}

EDIT: This works now. I got rid of the syntax sugar. now its JIT. (^_^)
