I'm having a bit of a mare here trying to use display groups.
Near the top of my code I'm creating various display groups like thus:
1 2 3 4 5 | arena_base = display.newGroup -- base of arena (floor, wall etc.) entities = display.newGroup -- food, critter, bombs, enemies etc. flashystuff = display.newGroup -- Particles, explosions etc. gametext = display.newGroup -- Any text to be displayed arena_top = display.newGroup -- Anything that needs to be on top. |
when you create new groups, you have to invoke the function to get an object, what you have/are doing is assigning it a function.
in simpler language,
1 2 3 4 | arena_base = display.newGroup arena_base_object = arena_base() background = display.newImage("gfx/arena1.png") arena_base_object:insert(background) |
Right, yeah, that makes sense. I just can't believe it took me so long to spot the mistake. Cheers :)
