You don't need to create a new font, you can get the default font by just calling love.graphics.getFont . My point was that that's still a font, because strings are abstract in the sense that without a font, they don't have width or height, just count (codepoint count if we're talking utf-8 or simi...

Font:getWidth gets the width of a given text string in a specific font; Font:getHeight gives you the height of one line in that specific font. Not sure what else you might mean, unless you're asking for the number of characters (or codepoints) in a string, because that doesn't really have a width n...

Hey is there a way I can get the string width or height instead of font width and height only?

This game is unfair because the wall spawns at random point so it's possible that you may not fall and collide it if the wall is lower than the player.

Hello! It's quite weird for me, but when I'm setting the new font but I cannot import the font from a folder, I need to type the name only. If that file doesn't exists in the project folder, game will crash. local myFont = love.graphics.newFont( "fonts\opensans.ttf", 14 ) What should I do to allow t...

I don't think it's a problem, but I'm gonna mention that when you use a function — love.filesystem.getWorkingDirectory() — it shows the Notepad++ path. And it doesn't work with running the console One thing you can add in "Execute" option is this at the begging: NPP_SAVE It will save the current fil...

Any of these methods work.
Code: Select all
-- all print 4
local str = "asdf"
print(#str)
print(string.len(str))
print(str:len())
This page lists the available string methods.

Thank you! Didn't know about the hashtag.

local myText = [[this is where my text goes and it will handle linebreaks]] function love.draw () love.graphics.print(myText, 10, 10) end One thing to keep in mind is that all contents between [[]] will be caught, so it will also take the indentation into account if present. Example: function love....

Hey, is there a way to get a string length?
Like this:

Code: Select all

local textStr = "Hello World"
local textLen = textStr:getLength

function love.draw( dt )
    love.graphics.print( tostring( textLen ) ) -- Returns 11
end
