I'm Learning Lua

[scottyboynow]

Thanks to inspiration by splodger15, I'd thought that I'll try out LUA. Here Is A Little Test. It is only a script.lua file at 242 bytes Approx. I dont have news access so I posted here.

[Zion]

what does it do?

[scottyboynow]

Nothing, wheres Splodger15 and dejkirkby they might want to see this.

[splodger15]

Nice work scotty.Its good to see your understanding it. I added a background for you.You may be able to see the changes in the code

[scottyboynow]

Thanks, I'm slowly getting there.I am going to try make a simple game like Ping Pong next.
PS. I Lurve The WII

[splodger15]

You should try some basic player controls

[scottyboynow]

Yeah, and a select screen, two players, choose colour of bar,etc.

[splodger15]

Let us know how you get on

[scottyboynow]

Ok, won't be starting straight away, But I'll let you know how I get on.

[scottyboynow]

Just started the main Files. There all blank at the moment and I will start later today.

[dejkirkby]

Cool. Well done dude. Keep learning and you will get better.:thumbup:

Splodger, would you be able to help me clear my lua script up? I'm trying to make it use up as little memory as possible, but dont know what else i would need to do (most memory is taken up by the pictures though)

P.S. Sorry for hijacking this thread scotty
P.S.S. Is there a 'frogger' port to the PSP, or would i have to play it through an emulator?

[scottyboynow]

It's okay. I dont know About The Frogger Port Thought

[splodger15]

Everything seems ok Jak although i might need your help for a cursor in Where's Sora.Here is the script for it

LimeGreen = Color.new(50, 205, 50)
Background = Image.load("images/MENU.PNG")
Black = Color.new(0, 0, 0)
Red = Color.new(255, 0, 0)
menu = true


pic = {}
pic[1] = Image.load("images/1.PNG")
pic1 = {}
pic1.w = 42 --width
pic1.h =27 --height
pic1.x = 230 --x val
pic1.y = 114 --y val
--pic[2] = Image.load("images/2.PNG")
pic2 ={}
pic2.w = 42
pic2.h = 14
pic2.x = 173
pic2.y = 84
--pic[3] = Image.load("images/3.PNG")
pic3 ={}
pic3.w =21
pic3.h=21
pic3.x=173
pic3.y=172
--pic[4] = Image.load("images/4.PNG")

--pic[5] = Image.load("images/5.PNG")
pic5 ={}
pic5.w= 480
pic5.h= 272
pic5.x= 0
pic5.y= 0
--pic[6] = Image.load("images/6.PNG")
pic6 ={}
pic6.w=42
pic6.h=24
pic6.x=187
pic6.y=30
--pic[7] = Image.load("images/7.PNG")
pic7 ={}
