can somebody please tell me what I'm doing wrong with my lua script?

[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

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.

[Shadowblind]

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...

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?
