Excellent work crait! Keep it up!

Some minor problems I found in the code:
- In the main game, every time right is pressed, you are loading the Kirby image. This can lead to a memory leak depending on how lua handles it.

- You use contionous function calls within function calls (or dofiles() ). This means you have:
Menu->Controls->Menu->Game->Credits->Menu->etc
but the first Menu function call will never finish. Huge possible internal memory leak depending on how Lua handles it.

- The amount of damage loss by pressing R is too high at present. A light tap can deplete half the health bar.

yeah, it was supposed to do the last one, and im working on the first one, and wtf do you mean by memory leak?
lol

and thanks for this, i love when people tell me they found an error! its great

[Hungry Horace]

it's things like this that make me want to code a LUA Horace game!

please keep it coming, because not only am i a fan of Kirby's GameBoy adventures, but i like seeing the development, and as i say, i'm sneaking a look at your code and being slowly inspired!

good luck.

[crait]

thanks man, though there are super many bugs in this one

[BrooksyX]

mabe i should use my wii to f u c k your mom eh?

Man you have to be like the biggest tard around. You give $hit about every lua project, yet I have never seen any programs written by you in C or Lua. So I say go take your fat a$$ somewhere else or make something better than all of us written C since lua is so below you.

cmon now bigmace
he's probly just a wee kid, eh?

[yaustar]

He/She is just here to spam if you check his/her post history.

cmon now bigmace
he's probly just a wee kid, eh?

Every single one of his posts is BS and I am getting sick of it.

Edit: He just got banned, finally.

[crait]

yaustar!
do you have some sort of IM on you compy!?
if so pm you sn
that is, if you want to help of course

[crait]

oh, bigmace and yaughstar, what do you both think of my app so far?

[BrooksyX]

it is pretty good for a start. But yeah I agree with yauster i wouldnt call it a beta. Oh here is a good tutorial on jumping: http://www.evilmana.com/tutorials/lua_snippet_jumping.php
of course getting the jumping for kirby is going to be a lot harder.

Oh also i would add screen boundaries so your guy doesnt go off the screen. here is an example:

screenwidth = 480 - player:width()
screenheight = 272 - player:width()

By the way does anyone know a good tutorial on how to do animation in lua.

[crait]

it was going to be a side scroller so i didnt want to put boundreis in just to take them out again
ive already looked at that tutorial 700 times, i even have that code in there
i just have no idea how to make him jump
i mean, the code is copied, so i know its right
...

maybe if you were to IM me, we could talk?
