When you post code, put 3~'s on a line before and after you code. Check the upper and lower case letters on gamestate. You also have multiple setup() and draw() functions. You should only have one of each.
Still it isn’t working it shows a black screen
@magicskillz Try this.
supportedOrientations(LANDSCAPE_ANY)
displayMode(FULLSCREEN)
function setup()
gameState=0
x=100
y=300
cam = vec2(0,0)
done=true
cb={x=60,y=300}
val=2
end
function draw()
if gameState==0 then
font("Copperplate-Bold")
fontSize(75)
--title
fill(0, 255, 8, 255)
text("Mad Dash",WIDTH/2, HEIGHT/1.19)
fontSize(25)
text("Tap screen to start.",WIDTH/2, HEIGHT/2)
--Name
fill(235, 5, 10, 255)
textAlign(CORNER)
text("By Magic Skillz", WIDTH/6, HEIGHT/30)
end
if gameState==2 then
cam.x = cam.x - DeltaTime*119.3
background(40, 40, 50)
fill(255)
translate(cam.x,cam.y)
x=x+3
cb.x=cb.x+val -- move sprite
sprite("Planet Cute:Character Boy",cb.x,cb.y)
end
end
function jumpTween()
t1=tween(.5,cb,{y=400},tween.easing.cubicOut)
t2=tween(.5,cb,{y=300},tween.easing.cubicIn,tweenDone)
tween.sequence(t1,t2)
end
function duckTween()
t1=tween(.5,cb,{y=200},tween.easing.cubicOut)
t2=tween(.5,cb,{y=300},tween.easing.cubicIn,tweenDone)
tween.sequence(t1,t2)
end
function tweenDone()
done=true -- tween is done, allow next jump
end
function touched(t)
if t.state==BEGAN and gameState==0 then
gameState=2
return
end
if t.state==MOVING and done then
done=false
if t.deltaY<0 then
duckTween()
else
jumpTween()
end
end
end
Wow, thank you
What is wrong with this code it says as an error:
Main:45: ‘for’ limit must be a
number
stack traceback:

I can’t figure out were the problem is. Here is my code:

The problem is in or near line 45. One of the numbers in the for statement isn’t a number. Also, just put 3~'s on a line by themselves. You also have a '. Edit your code above and correct the lines with the 3~'s.
The table spike has 9 values in it. The loop for i=1,12 causes i to go from 1 to 12. So the next loop for h=1,spike[i] causes spike[i] to go beyond the table size resulting in a nil value.
@magicskillz - you need to be able to debug very simple errors like this yourself, if you want to tackle more complex projects in the future.
What I would do to find this error is, once I know the error is in the numbers for the for loop, is put in a print statement just before it, so I’d have this
for i = 1,12 do
print (i, spike[i]) --<<<
for h=1,spike[i] do
This would quickly pick up the problem.
That’s exactly what I did to find the error. When i became 10, spike[i] printed nil. I looked at the spike table and saw that it was only 9 entries long.
