I am just getting started and I am following the tutorial. My total program at this point is
local background = display.nowImageRect(“background.png”, 360, 570)
background.x = display.contentCenterX
background.y = display.contentCenterY
When I try to run it I get an error on the first line ( local background = ) that says
ERROR: Runtime error
main.lua:7: attempt to call field ‘nowImageRect’ (a nil value)
stack traceback:
main.lua:7: in main chunk
I have no idea what is going on as I haven’t used nowImageRect as far as I know. What am I doing wrong so early in the game?
I am using an iMac OS version 10.13.3. The background.png is in the same folder, same level, as main.lua. background.png was downloaded from the the source files link supplied in the instructions and if I double click background.png, it opens in preview.
