We dont have your documents, so we cant play your game

@jgarsk It’s hard to run your program because any sprite you use from your documents folder isn’t available to anyone on the forum. So when we run your code, none of your sprites show. It’s advisable that any games you want to share on the forum should use the sprites from the assets pack included with Codea.

@jgarsk, it’d be nice if you included an image loader so we can all have your images and really play it the way it was meant.

@jgarsk You could replace your code above using Codea sprites even if they aren’t exactly what you have in mind.

@jgarsk - you will find it much easier to program if you learn how to use tables. This post shows why tables are so useful.

@jgarsk and for loops. They go hand in hand with tables a lot of the time here-
http://www.lua.org/pil/4.3.4.html
but really just focus on the basic for loop-

for i = 0, x do

end

where x is how many times you want to do it, and i is how many times the loop has been itterated.
