Love tutorial about input

[Lovingsoul1337]

hi

Is there a mistake ? since doesn't need the keyinput functions above the update function ?

Code: Select all

function love.load()
    love.graphics.setFont(12)
    text = "Nothing yet"
end

function love.update(dt)
   if love.keyboard.isDown( " " ) then
      text = "The SPACE key is held down!"
   end
end

function love.draw()
      love.graphics.print( text, 330, 300 )
end

function love.keypressed( key )
   if key == "return" then
      text = "RETURN is being pressed!"
   end
end

function love.keyreleased( key )
   if key == "return" then
      text = "RETURN has been released!"
   end
end

since in the above description say's this(a different one)

You can find the complete list of keys here. The best place to perform this check is inside the love.update callback: that way we're able to get input from the user and update our variables before drawing our stuff into the screen. So, our modified love.update callback should look like this:

Code: Select all

flove.keyboard.isDown()
end

what is now right ?

thanks for all who help me.

best regards

Honestly it's a bit weird Love doesn't throw an error if you use an invalid key constant - is there a good reason for this?

It does throw an error if you use an invalid key constant.

That particular tutorial was created almost a decade and a half ago when love's APIs were a little different, there are probably much better ones to look at these days.
