I'm trying to design a level but I have been having problems thinking of ways to make it fun. I am not much of a gamer; however, I still love the idea of making games. What type of experiences do you guys have in playing platformers and what do you enjoy most about them? What makes a level interesti...

I am fine with making my own art however I had trouble finding the exact sets I would like, I would like to make my own but I don't feel like I have the skills for it. Especially with the complexity of what I am planning.

https://www.lua.org/pil/16.html See the explanation about colon functions here. Do the functions get indexed as well as the values? I keep getting an "attempting to index function value" error and I'm confused if I should make another table within the coin one but I feel like it would add...

To make it more clear here is my last attempt. I commented out the coin spawing functions in the main.lua file and tried to import them from a coin.lua file

Main.lua: Require 'coin' Coin.myfunction() Coin.lua: Coin = {} Function Coin.myfunction() -- do things End Return coin I'm not sure if that answers the question. (Im On mobile) What would be the difference between something like Coin.myfunction() and Coin:myFunction()? When I tried to do the second...

I wan't to create a seperate coin file and call the functions that are responcible for spawning the coins in the main file. I tried it before but I got a lot of errors and I wasn't sure why it was happening

When I stared learning how to make games in Lua, I liked how versatile it was, especially with the ability to create different files for each object. The only problem I am having however, is when I make an array object. Recently I created a coin systems and it is working just fine, but I don't want ...

Your issue was that you were looping over `coin` using `for` and `#coin` length. But with gaps, your table could contain index 7, but the length would be e.g. just 5. So you would never come to coin index 7. I recommend using pairs to iterate. You former buggy code (main.lua, line 73): for i = 1, #...

Here is the complete love file just to make it easier

My only major problem is why I take 2 coins at the same time when I grab one. This happened with the proposed solution, but its getting me somewhere
