Code:
function Corridorx1North(a,b,length, t)

      for i = 1, length do

      t[#t+1] = {tile = 9, x = a-map.tilesize, y = b+map.tilesize*length}
      t[#t+1] = {tile = 1, x = a, y = b+map.tilesize*length}
      t[#t+1] = {tile = 11, x = a+map.tilesize, y = b+map.tilesize*length}

      end

      return t

   end


Is there someway to input the sub-table values back into the table t?

Where is the problem in the code? Is there a awesome tutorial I can read? I am new to Löve.

Currently, the pieces fall to the bottom of the well but stop one space short of the bottom. Any attempt to fix this has just resulted in errors, such as nil values for tables I'm accessing.

I've been using Zerobrane Studio for it's extremely helpful debug tools but I haven't solved the problem. I believe it's related to my isValidPosition() function. Not being having a way to Continue in lua gave me some trouble.

Code:
local function isValidPosition(board, piece, dX, dY)
  -- return true if piece is within board and not colliding
  local valid = true
  for x = 1, PIECE_TEMPLATE_SIZE do
    for y = 1, PIECE_TEMPLATE_SIZE do
      local isAboveBoard = piece.y + y + dY < 1  -- pieces should be allowed to be above the board
     
      if not (isAboveBoard or piece.rotation[y][x] == 0) then 
        if not isOnBoard(x + piece.x + dX, y + piece.y + dY) then
          valid = false
        elseif board[y + piece.y + dY][x + piece.x + dX] ~= 0 then
          valid = false
        end
      end
    end
  end 
  return valid
end


However, the problem could likely be elsewhere; I've made a bit of a mess trying to fix this problem and the code isn't very clear any more.

Any help? Any other tips that would make my life easier or advice for implementing Tetris? This has proven much harder than I anticipated, I have trouble with grid based games.

This tag serves absolutely no purpose and in fact makes it harder to read through the topic subjects, every single thread in this subforum is asking for help by default. That's what the subforum is for, you don't need to restate your intent of getting [help] in the title.

If you want to be helpful with your tags then use a [solved] thread subject tag once your question gets answered.

Just a quick question. I'm working on a project where I need to pull in and process a fair whack of data. This data is simply a locally stored file with a lot of config and setup data for some geographical mapping and plotting systems. While testing and developing the project, I have been storing a small amount of the data as native lua table objects, but maintaining the large amount of data this way is virtually impossible. It was no issue when there were only 50 or so entries, but the full database has over 40,000 entries and it becomes a pain to manage such a large lua table easily.

Basically, is there any lightweight and platform-independent way to read some form of local database (Be it SQLite or similar) in Love/Lua without much hassle? Alternatively if there isn't, then is there a better way to manage a 40,000 line .txt file to easily manage the data without major headaches?

Cheers.

Image

tiolved.lua
===========

A framework to use tiled(http://www.mapeditor.org/) in LÖVE(http://love2d.org).

mapTable
--------

You can create a table that contain all the element in a .tmx file by using `map`:

maptable=tiolved:map("map.tmx")

the table is generated as below :

* object :

<element attribute1="value1" attribute2="value2"/>

create :

{je="element", attribute1="value1", attribute2="value2"}

* object that contain objects :

<element1 attr1="value1">
<element1.1 attr1="value1"/>
<element1.2 attr1="value1"/>
</element>

create :

{je="element", attr1="value1",
1={je="element1.1", attr1="value1"}
2={je="element1.2", attr1="value1"}
}

* the first line `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>` create nothing

mapGid
------

You can create a table that contain all the tile in canvas with the mapTable using :

mapGid=tiolved:gid(mapTable)

mapGid[1]=tile1
...
mapGid[lastTile]=lastTile

layers
------

You can generate table that contain for each layer a table with the canvas of the layer and the attributes of the layer using :

layers=tiolved:layers(mapTable,mapGid)

layers[i]={ attr1=value1, property1=valueproperty1, canvas=canvas }

trick: the layer that must be interpreted and not drawn must be removed from the mapTable or you can change the .je=layer for something else

usefulfunc
----------

Use :

toMap,toRender=tiolved:usefulfunc(map)

useful especially for isometric map, see in the exemple.

exemple
-------

the main love.load contain the basic way to use tiolved

issue
-----

for any inform me at my [github](https://github.com/thiolliere/tiolved) or here

thanks
Joe

Code:

   if alpha == 255 then
      alpha = alpha-(255/seconds*delayTime)
   elseif alpha == 0 then
