A hot potato

Post by keprast »

Hi, everyone. This is the new guy. :)

I have a question.
I tried to move a Sprite using a keyboard button and then draw it using the draw function.
Finally, my Sprite won't move. I have to keep clicking on the keyboard button to move it. :|
Why? :shock:

Post your code. Also, this belongs to Support & Dev, not General.

From what I can gather, you put the player's movement code inside of love.keypressed, which is only called when a key is pressed. Instead, put the movement code in love.update, and check if a key is pressed using love.keyboard.isDown.
