Physics

Hi all,

I’m working on the BalloonTap project, when I refreshed the corona simulator I received the error message:

main.lua:20: attempt to call global ‘required’ (a nil value) stack traceback:

main.lua:20: in main chunk

Appreciate any help,

Thanks.

Can you post your code around line 20 and perhaps line lines above it?  Make sure to use copy/paste and click on the blue <> button in the bold, italic, row of formatting controls.

I second the request that you post a snippet of the code in question, but let me ask.

Did you type this:

local physics = require( "physics" )

or this:

local physics = required( "physics" )

Double check the places where you have calls to ‘require’ and be sure you didn’t accidentally type ‘required’

Good catch Ed!

Thanks for replying.

I scrolled down to check the coding, every line is where it should be I also checked the files that were download, but I was unable to find anything that said local physics.

Thanks again.

That was it!

I rechecked I entered required, when I removed the letter d the word require changed color.

Thank you so much, both of you.
