It does work because I use a slightly modified code in all my programs to pause for input.

function pause&#40;&#41;
  local pad
  repeat
    pad = Controls.read&#40;&#41;
    screen.waitVblankStart&#40;5&#41;
  until pad&#58;start&#40;&#41;
end

matriculated

pad will never = nil if you do a controls.read

do something like this:

Code: Select all

repeat
  System.sleep&#40;100&#41;
  pad = Controls.read&#40;&#41;
until pad&#58;buttons&#40;&#41;

This loops until a button (or dpad) is pressed

Doesn't anyone come here anymore? :(

I was wondering if anyone can tell me why the bitwise operands were dropped in the newer versions of Lua? TTDLE won't work without them :( Not to mention that this line from the wiki won't work either: Constants for binary operations on buttons() result (for example “Controls.read():buttons() & ...

I've added a function to Image like this: function Image:printb(x,y,str,clr) and it works ok for images but it won't work for screen:printb. I get "attempt to call method 'printb' (a nil value" I have to explicitly write the exact same routine for screen like this: function screen:printb(x...

Thanks for clearing that up!

I have a function that returns an image. But what happens if I don't assign it to anything - like this: screen:blit(0, 0, gradient(480, 16, white, black)) Where the function, gradient, creates an image of width 480 and height 16 with a color gradient going from white to black. So what happens to the...

Please re-host! Or can some else upload this file?

A mouse based gui on a mouseless device is, imho, a horrible, horrible idea. It just doesn't make sense and it's not easy to use at all. I'm not convinced that multiple windows on a small screen device is a very good either. I think an Ipod like interface would work well - it doesn't have a super sl...

I hope that's a sign of things to come!

It would probably be faster to just use preflipped images rather than "rendering them".

I wonder if Ahman IRShell's mp3 prx can be used with the new external library support.

matriculated

So has anyone thought about liquidjin's post? Is it possible to put support for mp3's into Lua legally and without any costs?

Woohoo! Thanks to wikipedia, I finally got some Lua code that logs onto an ftp server and lists the files! I'm on my way.

I never realized how strange and insecure ftp is.

It's possible to flip images but it would be quite slow using Lua. Basically you would create an empty image with the same dimensions as your img. The use the image:pixel(x, y) function to check the color of the pixel in an img but instead of using x you would use img.width - x. You would have to do...

matriculated

it would proably be best to use a table for that mayVar_ = {} for i=1, 10 do myVar_[i-1] = "" end im sure theres another way to do that but thats the only one i can thing of right now I don't think your can index an element at 0. It has to start at 1.

Um, what? I just clicked on it, and downloaded it just now. ?!?

Does this compress the data? Combining this with modsyn's huffman compression would be a neat way to distribute Lua programs. If Lua apps were hosted this way, someone could make a Lua program to download these and install them directly to the memory stick without using a PC.

So, I have this recursive function to find the memory stick space used which also takes into account cluster size but I'm always shy a few megs of space. Can anyone tell me why? function MSused(dir) local space = 0 --seed the 1st iteration with root of ms dir = dir or "ms0&#...

Well, due to the overwhelming response to my last question (http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?t=5183&sid=681c2ef0b020813ff8a1026fd12daa05) I 've another one for you guys.

Is it possible to make an ftp client using sockets in lua? I've made a tedzero client that uses wifi to transfer files but I was wondering if I should scrap that and make an ftp client instead. I think in the end it would be more useful. How about smb? I haven't found a lot of information on making ...

I actually have this code:

Code: Select all

if xx > 480 then xx = 480 end
if yy > 272 then yy = 272 end
menuImg = Image.createEmpty&#40;xx, yy&#41;

and I get that same invalid size error. And that code is bulletproof I tells ya. BULLETPROOF! :P

Hey, that's a really nice keyboard layout you got there. Ingenious!

May as well request MS Size, MS space left and MS space taken :P

Are you saying that when you copy a file with all lowercase letters under Windows, it appears as all uppercase to Lua or all uppercase on the MS under Windows?

Bomberman is a fairly simple game (although writting good ai is far from simple) so you just have to think about what the enemies have to do:
-drop bombs, more specifically, drop bombs in front of player
-avoid bombs
-march around

Maybe looking up bomberman ai in google might help.

matriculated

Perhaps a request for it to be built into Lua Player is in order?
