Insane error driving me crazy

smaugs_treasure · April 9, 2011, 5:30am

Since Lime aint working properly with Corona, I decided to have a go creating a level the hard way, coding it tile by tile. But, there´s this error that I absolutely can´figure out. I´m in the process of coding 2 rows ontop of eachother using the same tile, first line goes fine but when I come to tile number 25 in the second, I get a runtime error in the simulator. I can´t figure out what´s causing this and I´ve gone through the code letter by letter, symbol by symbol and it looks 100% ok.

If I remove everything that has to do with “A25, A26, A27 and A28” then everything works fine.

The code for the level can be seen below:
module(…, package.seeall)

–Load the physics data, scale factor is set to 1.0
local physicsData = (require “shapedefs”).physicsData(1.0)
local physics = require(“physics”)
physics.start()

physics.setScale( 60 )
–Initial gravity points downwards
physics.setGravity( 0, 0 )

–Set accelerometer to maximum responsiveness
system.setAccelerometerInterval( 100 )

Adding new display objects to the localGroup also prokoves a runtime error, to me it now seems that there´s a max limit of around 50 objects to be grouped together, can any of you please confirm this? [import]uid: 44742 topic_id: 8727 reply_id: 31812[/import]

This is the error that the terminal outputs when it happens:

Runtime error: error loading module ‘stage1’ from file ‘/Users/smaugs_treasure/Desktop/CoronaNewProjects/Mazeball3/stage1.lua’:
/Users/smaugs_treasure/Desktop/CoronaNewProjects/Mazeball3/stage1.lua:505: function at line 182 has more than 60 upvalues

The Director function is the initVars() containing the x and y coordinates and inserts for each tile. When I made several initVars functions, so that each new initVarsA, initVarsB, initVarsC etc contains less than 60 upvalues, the level now works fine.

Firstly when posting that amount of code it’s best to use the < code > tag to make it easier to read

And on to the code, that is a rather odd way of creating the tiles, loops and spritesheets are your friend

I have created a simple demo showing how to make a basic map from a 1D array of tile ids and a spritesheet, it is linked in your other thread - http://developer.anscamobile.com/forum/2011/04/09/creating-levels-using-tiled-maps-without-using-lime#comment-31909 [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 8727 reply_id: 31910[/import]

smaugs_treasure · April 10, 2011, 1:59pm

Yeah I totally agree with you there. I just started learning programming a few months ago, C++ first, then DragonFire SDK, then iTorque2D and now Corona SDK. That said, I´m just a beginner and there is a “lack of simple and spot on” tutorials targeting the basics of game creation. It might be that I´m simply not looking in the right places.

I know Lime has some mighty fine examples, but until it runs smoothly with Corona…
It´s taken me a day to rig a 28x28 tile scene using only Corona, and I´m not even done yet *sighs* [import]uid: 44742 topic_id: 8727 reply_id: 31913[/import]

GrahamRanson · April 10, 2011, 2:16pm

Have a look at the code I provided in the other thread, it doesn’t use anything from Lime or Tiled and allows for easy tile placement. [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 8727 reply_id: 31917[/import]
