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

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.

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

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

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

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

Quote:

---

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

Quote:

---

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

Quote:

---

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)

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.

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.

use luaplayer windows so u can debug easyer

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

it works for me is the extention.cmd

yep

did u type

luaplaye scriptname.lua
pause

yep

ok

i edited my menu so it would have a background instead of a blank screen but it stopped working after that can you see why

try switching the extention to jpg jpeg or png

it is a png.

ps you should get an msn account

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

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

well the picture comes up but the words go away

put the background code before the text code.

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

srry i dont know how

thats ok I'll find out somehow

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

==
=~

and all thier meanings?

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

ok

you may have a memory leak loading all those images

what does that mean

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)

any ideas on how to make it work

can you assign images to tables? just wondering
