for some reason, this script restarts my homebrew channel:

[ACIDULATED]

function love.load()
    frames = {}

    for i = 1, 4 do
        table.insert(frames, love.graphics.newTexture("kris" .. i .. ".png"))
    end

    currentFrame = 1
    wiimote = love.wiimote.getWiimotes()[1]
    y = 100
end

function love.update(dt)
    currentFrame = currentFrame + dt;
    if currentFrame >= 5 then
        currentFrame = 1
    end
    if wiimote:isDown("down") then
        y += 50;
    end
end

function love.draw()
    if wiimote:isDown("down") then
        love.graphics.draw(frames[math.floor(currentFrame)], 100, y, 0, 1, 1, 48, 48)
    else
        love.graphics.draw(frames[1], 100, y, 0, 1, 1, 48, 48)
    end
end

title says it all. btw, i think a discussions page would be really helpful so nobody has to post every single coding issue they have in the issues page.

I think I need more info. What does your file structure look like?

[ACIDULATED]

I have my images (kris(number).png) in data folder with main.lua. That's about it.

[htv04]

Looking at your code again, I think you missed a tostring() statement on line 5. It should read like this:

for i = 1, 4 do
    table.insert(frames, love.graphics.newTexture("kris" .. tostring(i) .. ".png"))
end

The error shouldn't return to the homebrew menu though, it should just show the normal error screen. See if this helps anyway.

kris????

While I really have no say in this at all, its usually a good idea to keep stuff like this serious, but again this is just my two cents.

Concatenation should work automatically with numbers in Lua without needing a string converter, since that behaviour is defined in the Lua docs:

Lua denotes the string concatenation operator by ".." (two dots). If any of its operands is a number, Lua converts that number to a string.

Doing

the = 1
theThing = "the thing "
print(theThing + the)

Gives the error main.lua:3: attempt to perform arithmetic on a string value doing tostring(the) does not give this error

Interesting, might have to look into this more then.

doing tostring(the) does not give this error

String concatenation in Lua is more officially done with the double-dot syntax, as the issue author has done in their original code. The Lua interpreter I have installed currently outright rejects concatenation of strings with +, even when both variables are strings.

ah ok cuz i swear the same thing happened with me with .. but ig i just got to used to writing tostring()
