This is my first love thingy (not quite sure what to call it) that I am uploading
I made it while bored one night
hope you enjoy it

What happens:
Green and purple cubes spawn and fall
the mouse cursor pushes the cubes away

thats it...

thank you

Update
I have updated the file, now if you click it spawns 20 cubes
and thanks to rmcode, I have implemented your advise

It's pretty

Just a small advice for future projects: You don't need to create a new image for every object you want to create. In general that's a bad idea because it is quite performance heavy. Instead, try to load the images at a place where multiple objects can access them. Here is an example of how you could improve your code:

Code: Select all

local timer = 5;
-- Moved the images outside of the actual functions. Now the game only has to load two images in the beginning.
local green = love.graphics.newImage("graphics/greenSpawn.png");
local purple = love.graphics.newImage("graphics/exampleSpawn.png");

local function newSpawn(newX, newY)
    local object = {}
    object.x = newX
    object.y = newY
    object.Speed = 3
    object.Width = 15
    object.Hight = 15
    object.Health = 1
    object.LifeSpan = 1000

    -- Randomly decide wether to pick the green or purple image and save a reference to the image to draw.
    object.graphics = love.math.random(0, 1) == 0 and green or purple;
    object.myMoveAmountX = love.math.random(1, 10) / 10
    object.myMoveAmountY = love.math.random(1, 10) / 10
    table.insert(TheStuff, object)
end

function theStuffUpdate()
    timer = timer - 1;
    if timer <= 0 then
        timer = 5;
        newSpawn(love.math.random(1, Screen.Width), love.math.random(1, Screen.Height))
    end
end

thank you, I have implemented that and updated the file and will keep that in mind with future projects
