and here is the rar of all the images and the script and the script.cmd but i have removed the sound beacause it was 10 mb so just delete the line of code that says , i am trying to make a game but i have to make the title screen first, any help would be much appreciated.


ps. this is just the beta: version1.0 will have 50 cards, and version 2.0 will have 100 cards, and that might be it, but if people like it i will continue to0 update it

[lmtlmt]

how would i set attack and defence points to each image/card, could i use variables and could it be used to determine how many life points to subtract.

[Gizmo356]

Dont Do That If I Could Help I Would But Im Not Home Im Using My Cell Phone So I Cant Help

[Gizmo356]

No It Can Play A Lot More And You Could Store Attk And Def Points In A Table

[lmtlmt]

here is an example of what the cards on the game will be like, the big one is the card when it is in your hand and the little one is the card when its on the field

[lmtlmt]

is this table good enough for this type of game, the table is for this card, here is the table


mystical elf = { 800, 2000, 4, "[spellcaster]" }
mystical elf[1] = "attack"
mystical elf[2] = "defence"
mystical elf[3] = "level"
mystical elf[4] = "type"
or should the table be like this

mystical_elf = { 800, 2000, 4, "[spellcaster]" }
attack = mystical_elf[1]
defence = mystical_elf[2]
level = mystical_elf[3]
type = mystical_elf[4]
ps> how do i make it so when that card id selected that information is printed to the screen next to it:confused:

do i do this


screen:print(100, 100, mystical_elf[1],green)
screen:print(100, 140, mystical_elf[2],green)
screen:print(100, 180, mystical_elf[3],green)
screen:print(100, 220, mystical_elf[4],green)

[Gizmo356]

No It Cant Play Mp3 But Why Would U Convert Them To .it It Could Change A 3meg Song To 300kb And Ill Help U When I Get Home

[ACID]

lmtlmt you can see he is not onlyne right now by the red button on under his avatar. So try not to keep on double posting for no reason. Now go under member list and hunt down a lua coder and send them a Pm if they can help they will trust me.

[ACID]

If you say so but its still triple posting not apreciated.

all it does is load the background and say player1 its your turn, but its a start.

[Gizmo356]

use luaplayer windows so u can debug easyer

[lmtlmt]

i try to but it (the batch file) wont work

[Gizmo356]

it works for me is the extention.cmd

[lmtlmt]

yep

[Gizmo356]

did u type

luaplaye scriptname.lua
pause

[lmtlmt]

yep

[Gizmo356]

ok

try switching the extention to jpg jpeg or png

[lmtlmt]

it is a png.

ps you should get an msn account

[Gizmo356]

change screen:blit(0,0,menu) to

screen:blit(0,0,backgroung,false)

[lmtlmt]

well the picture comes up but the words go away

[Gizmo356]

put the background code before the text code.

[lmtlmt]

yay it works! thamx gizmo, but do u know how to make the text bigger

[Gizmo356]

srry i dont know how

[lmtlmt]

thats ok I'll find out somehow

[lmtlmt]

could somebody post i list of all the lua symbols you know

==
=~

and all thier meanings?

[M!ckeY]

you should try asking in the development area, you might get faster results there :)

[lmtlmt]

ok

[benh]

you may have a memory leak loading all those images

[lmtlmt]

what does that mean

[lmtlmt]

in the game it now loads the background the deck and sets the life points to 4000!.

ths is the script


green = Color.new(0, 255, 0)
blue = Color.new(0, 128, 255)
luaLogo = Image.load("deck.jpg")
background = Image.load("YUGI BACKGROUND2.png")
lifepoints = (4000)

function scaleImage(newX, newY, theImage)

resizedImage = Image.createEmpty(newX, newY)
for x = 1, newX do
for y = 1, newY do
resizedImage:blit(x,y , theImage,
math.floor(x*(theImage:width()/newX)),math.floor(y*(theImage:height()/newY)), 1,
1)
end
end
return resizedImage

end

scaleImage(53,70, luaLogo) -- Resize image.

while true do
screen:blit(0, 0, background, false)
screen:blit(2,173, resizedImage) -- Show the resized image
screen:print(10, 11, "player 1 its your turn", green)
screen:print(410, 14, lifepoints, blue)

screen.flip()
screen.waitVblankStart()

end


i am still trying to fugure out how to load all the images, some people have told me a few ways, but i still dont know which one to go for, i have had i lot of help from benj, so thnx for that

[pspsk8r]

whats a lua script?

[lmtlmt]

whats a lua script?

it is a script for a game that you can play on your psp using lua player.

[lmtlmt]

i was trying to make the selecter move from one space to another by pressing left.
it doesnt work. here is the script


green = Color.new(0, 255, 0)
blue = Color.new(0, 128, 255)
luaLogo = Image.load("deck.jpg")
background = Image.load("YUGI BACKGROUND2.png")
lifepoints = (4000)
selecter = Image.load("selecter.png")

function scaleImage(newX, newY, theImage)

resizedImage = Image.createEmpty(newX, newY)
for x = 1, newX do
for y = 1, newY do
resizedImage:blit(x,y , theImage,
math.floor(x*(theImage:width()/newX)),math.floor(y*(theImage:height()/newY)), 1,
1)
end
end
return resizedImage

end

scaleImage(53,70, luaLogo) -- Resize image.

while true do
pad = controls.read()
screen:blit(0, 0, background, false)
screen:blit(2,173, resizedImage) -- Show the resized image
screen:print(10, 11, "player 1 its your turn", green)
screen:print(410, 14, lifepoints, blue)
screen:blit(384, 172, selecter)
if pad:left() then
selecter.x = selecter.x - 78

screen.flip()
screen.waitVblankStart()

end


any ideas on how to make it work

[lmtlmt]

can you assign images to tables? just wondering

[Shadowblind]

Here, uase tables:

card_1 = {
Image.load("card1.png"),
Image.load("card2.png"),
Image.load("card3.png"),
Image.load("card4.png"),
Image.load("card5.png"),
Image.load("card6.png"),
Image.load("card7.png"),
Image.load("card8.png"),
}

This is a more suitable way to upload images. Less memory leaks:D

[lmtlmt]

oh sorry it didnt work because i didnt change it from

card.png to SDY-001.jpg

I'll try it again

[Shadowblind]

Thats for loading the into animation i beleive...

This would be for images I think

Cards = { }
card[1] =Image.load("card.png")
card[2] = Image.load("card3.png")
card[3] = Image.load("card4.png")
card[4] = Image.load("card5.png")
card[5] = Image.load("card6.png")


Im not what you'd call experiance, so maybe check with zion or yaustar first.

[lmtlmt]

nope stilll didnt work
thanx for trying

[Shadowblind]

I'll figure out somethin. In the meantime, why not join the evilmana forums for advice.

[lmtlmt]

i tried to register but it kept saying
text written is not the same as shown

in the part how you have to write what it says RU5SD, that thing

[Shadowblind]

The first suggestion shoulda worked...

[yaustar]

i was trying to make the selecter move from one space to another by pressing left.
it doesnt work. here is the script



any ideas on how to make it work

Here is your mistake:

screen:blit(384, 172, selecter)
if pad:left() then
selecter.x = selecter.x - 78
Here you attempt to create an entry in a table on a variable that is not a table. Also there is no end for your if statement.

Try this:


green = Color.new(0, 255, 0)
blue = Color.new(0, 128, 255)
luaLogo = Image.load("deck.jpg")
background = Image.load("YUGI BACKGROUND2.png")
lifepoints = (4000)
selecter = Image.load("selecter.png")

function scaleImage(newX, newY, theImage)

resizedImage = Image.createEmpty(newX, newY)
for x = 1, newX do
for y = 1, newY do
resizedImage:blit(x,y , theImage,
math.floor(x*(theImage:width()/newX)),math.floor(y*(theImage:height()/newY)), 1,
1)
end
end
return resizedImage

end

scaleImage(53,70, luaLogo) -- Resize image.

selectorX = 384

while true do
pad = controls.read()
screen:blit(0, 0, background, false)
screen:blit(2,173, resizedImage) -- Show the resized image
screen:print(10, 11, "player 1 its your turn", green)
screen:print(410, 14, lifepoints, blue)
screen:blit(selectorX, 172, selecter)
if pad:left() then
selectorX = selectorX - 78
end

screen.flip()
screen.waitVblankStart()

end



could somebody post i list of all the lua symbols you know

and all thier meanings?

http://lua-users.org/wiki/ExpressionsTutorial

[lmtlmt]

thanx yaustar, but it doesnt work

[yaustar]

thanx yaustar, but it doesnt work
That doesn't tell me much. WHAT doesn't work.

[lmtlmt]

the script, it just exits

[yaustar]

Do you get a syntax error? If so, what is it?

Edit: Nevermind, "controls.read()" is meant to be "Controls.read()". Case sensitivity.

[lmtlmt]

nope, no syntax error, it just exits

[yaustar]

See the previous post for the syntax error.

[lmtlmt]

it works, how do i make it so it just goes to each section of this picture, as if it was a menu, and not too fast?

[yaustar]

Learn about if statements.

[lmtlmt]

where would i be able to learn about if statements?

[yaustar]

http://lua-users.org/wiki/ExpressionsTutorial Scroll to the bottom

[lmtlmt]

do you know any that are easier to understand?

[yaustar]

http://lua-users.org/wiki/ControlStructureTutorial

[lmtlmt]

yes that one is much easier, thank u for all your help

[lmtlmt]

so using if statements, could i say, when an image is in a certain place i could screen print or screen blit something, and when it moves from that spot it will go away, is that right?

while trying to to that it doesnt work, i used this code

if selectorX = 375 then
screen:print(407, 208, "select", green)

do you know how to make it work?

[lmtlmt]

c'mon anybody know?
