I am quite new to the Lua language and am trying to create a simple Tic Tac Toe game. I am having difficulties figuring out how to check the winner. I have tried if-then statements but I think I am using them wrong. Not sure what the best way to check the winner is so any suggestions or assistance is greatly appreciated.
The code is -
local composer = require( "composer" )
local scene = composer.newScene()
d = display
w20 = d.contentWidth * .2
h20 = d.contentHeight * .2
w40 = d.contentWidth * .4
h40 = d.contentHeight * .4
w60 = d.contentWidth * .6
h60 = d.contentHeight * .6
w80 = d.contentWidth * .8
h80 = d.contentHeight * .8
----DRAW LINES FOR BOARD
local lline = d.newLine(w40,h20,w40,h80 )
lline.strokeWidth = 5
local rline = d.newLine(w60,h20,w60,h80 )
rline.strokeWidth = 5
local bline = d.newLine(w20,h40,w80,h40 )
bline.strokeWidth = 5
local tline = d.newLine(w20,h60,w80,h60 )
tline.strokeWidth = 5
--PLACE BOARD COMPARTMENT DIMENSIONS IN TABLE
board ={
{"tl",1,w20,h40,w40,h20,0},
{"tm",2,w40,h40,w60,h20,0},

I got an error in Corona's simulator console in main.lua
attempt to index global pausebutton (a nil value)
How to solve my problem with Corona error?
The most revelant code from main.lua file I put below
-- Display the pause button
function pauseAndResume ()
local pausebutton = display.newImage ("pause.png")
pausebutton : translate(100, 100)
pausebutton:addEventListener ("touch" , pauseGame)
local resumebutton = display.newImage ("resumed.png")
resumebutton: translate(100, 100)
resumebutton.isVisible = false
resumebutton:addEventListener ("touch", resumeGame)
end
function pauseGame (event)
if (event.phase == "ended") then
physics.pause ()
pausebutton.isVisible = false
resumebutton.isVisible = true
timer.pause(fruitTimer)
timer.pause(bombTimer)
sampleVar = false
return true
end
end
function resumeGame (event)
if (event.phase == "ended") then
physics.start()
pausebutton.isVisible = true
resumebutton.isVisible = false
timer.resume(fruitTimer)
timer.resume(bombTimer)
sampleVar = true
return true
end
end
I think you got error because local variables pausebutton and resumebutton exist only during executing of pauseAndResume function. After that they gone. So you need declare them in the block in which they will be available for pauseAndResume and pauseGame functions, for example on begining of the main.lua file.
Try
local pausebutton
local resumebutton
...
-- Display the pause button
function pauseAndResume ()
pausebutton = display.newImage ("pause.png")
pausebutton : translate(100, 100)
pausebutton:addEventListener ("touch" , pauseGame)
resumebutton = display.newImage ("resumed.png")
resumebutton: translate(100, 100)
resumebutton.isVisible = false
resumebutton:addEventListener ("touch", resumeGame)
end
function pauseGame (event)
if (event.phase == "ended") then
physics.pause ()
pausebutton.isVisible = false
resumebutton.isVisible = true
timer.pause(fruitTimer)
timer.pause(bombTimer)
sampleVar = false
return true
end
end
function resumeGame (event)
if (event.phase == "ended") then
physics.start()
pausebutton.isVisible = true
resumebutton.isVisible = false
timer.resume(fruitTimer)
timer.resume(bombTimer)
sampleVar = true
return true
end
end
From Lua documentation
We create local variables with the local statement:
j = 10 -- global variable
local i = 1 -- local variable
Unlike global variables, local variables have their scope limited to
the block where they are declared. A block is the body of a control
structure, the body of a function, or a chunk (the file or string with
the code where the variable is declared).

You probably need function scene:createScene(). Note the colon instead of the dot in your original code.
Your function should be like this.
function scene:createScene( event )
local group = self.view
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- CREATE display objects and add them to 'group' here.
-- Example use-case: Restore 'group' from previously saved state.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm trying to put in place a zoom function on touch event. I scale the parent group using transition.to and onComplete move it to the event center. But then at one point it just jumps to the parent group origin. Any ideas?
I'm now pasting a shortened version of the code.

local height = display.contentHeight

local allElements = display.newGroup()
local grip = {}
local gripSize = {
-- w: gripwidth, h: gripheight, s: strength required
{w=30, h=20, s=1},
{w=20, h=10, s=1.5},
{w=10, h=10, s=2},
}
local r
local function createTexture()
local originX = 0
local originY = height -75
for i=0,50 do
r = math.random(3)
local x = originX + math.random(width)
local y = originY - math.random(2*height)
grip[i] = display.newRect( allElements, x, y, gripSize[r].w, gripSize[r].h)
grip[i].size = gripSize[r].s
if (r == 1) then
grip[i]:setFillColor(51,255,0)
elseif (r == 2) then
grip[i]:setFillColor(255,51,51)
elseif (r == 3) then
grip[i]:setFillColor(51,51,255)
end
end
end
createTexture()
wallBottom = display.newRect( allElements, 0,height-20,width,20)
physics.addBody(wallBottom, "static", { density=5, friction=0.5, bounce=0.3 } )

else
transition.to( allElements, { time = 200, x = body.x, y = body.y, xScale = 1, yScale = 1, })

elseif (allElements.y < 0) then

end
end
function enterFrame()
allElements:update()
end
You just need to update this part:
elseif (e.target.hasFocus) then
if (e.phase == "moved") then
local x,y = allElements:contentToLocal(e.x, e.y) -- This line is changed
e.target.touchjoint:setTarget( x, y ) -- This line is changed
xOffset, yOffset = calcTouchOffset( e )
else
transition.to( allElements, { time = 200, x = 0, y = 0, xScale = 1, yScale = 1, })
e.target.hasFocus = false
e.target.touchjoint:removeSelf()
e.target.touchjoint = nil
stage:setFocus( nil )
xOffset, yOffset = 0, 0
end
return true
end
By replacing x=body.x by x=0 and y=body.y by y=0
Cheers :)
i just have a quick question. Im playing around with Corona to try and get the look and feel of it and im currently editing some one else's sample code. I have added a scoring mechanism, and now i want to add a combo scoring mechanism so that when the user chops more than one fruit, i can add an extra 5 points. Its just that i have no idea how to start. If some one would point me in the right direction that would be great thank you. :)
Or if this would be much clearer: How about a function that will help me detect how many objects the user touches/slices in one touch/move?
