Hi Everyone,
I’m trying a little experiment while I take some time off from my main project, but I’ve become a little stuck. I hoping somebody can help.
My idea is a simple find the object game. I want an image in the HUD to show which object to find, and a duplicate one in the play space that the person taps. Here’s what I have so far.
os.execute('cls')
require "sprite"
local itemTable = {}
local numOfItems = 1
local k
local function spawn()
local ItemSheet = sprite.newSpriteSheet("BonusItems.png", 80, 80)
local ItemSpriteSet = sprite.newSpriteSet(ItemSheet, 1, 8)
local ItemInstance = sprite.newSprite(ItemSpriteSet)
ItemInstance.currentFrame = math.random(2)
return ItemInstance
end
for k = 1, numOfItems do
itemTable[k] = spawn()
itemTable[k].x= math.random(50, display.contentWidth-50) itemTable[k].y = math.random(180,display.contentHeight-50)
end
local function hudItem()
local hudIcon = itemTable[1]
hudIcon.x = display.contentWidth\*0.5 hudIcon.y = 80
end
hudItem() As you can see, what I planned is to have a sprite sheet with various objects on. I set a random frame, spawn x amount, and put them in a table.
I’ve got the object spawning randomly on the screen no problem. Getting a duplicate is proving more difficult. All that happens is I get the image appearing once, at the co-ordinates in “hudItem()”. Can I call from a table multiple times, and have differing properties for each one? So for example, I want to spawn say, an apple, randomly on the screen, that can be tapped, but have a duplicate one at a very specific location just to view (along the top of the screen for instance).
Alternatively, if there’s a much better way to do this, I’d love to hear it.
