Hey guys,
I’m just working on an project, where I want that one object, wich for I’ve created an own class and a draw function ,should appear on that spot you tap on.
I’ve heard something of table.insert but dont know how this actually works, so it would be very nice, if somebody can send me an example please.
Thank you very much :slight_smile:

Here’s a short example that creates a new object when you touch the screen:

--# Main
-- Create Objects

function setup()
    objects = {} -- creates a table for objects
end

function draw()
    background(40, 40, 50)
    
    for i, o in pairs(objects) do
        o:draw() -- loop through your objects table and draw
    end
    
end

function touched(touch)
    if touch.state == BEGAN then
        table.insert(objects,Object(touch.x,touch.y))
        -- add a new object where you touch and put it in your object table
    end
end


--# Object
Object = class()

function Object:init(x,y)
    self.x = x
    self.y = y
end

function Object:draw()
    stroke(255, 255, 255, 255)
    strokeWidth(5)
    fill(29, 114, 133, 255)
    ellipse(self.x,self.y,50)
end
