Hey all, I am making my first Playdate game in Lua and am using LDtk to help build the levels. Following some advice from SquidGodDev’s tutorials, I am using precomputed levels when actually on the Playdate and not the simulator. See Below
local usePrecomputedLevels = not pd.isSimulator
ldtk.load("levels/world.ldtk", usePrecomputedLevels)
if pd.isSimulator then
ldtk.export_to_lua_files()
end
When I build my game, I grab the LDtk_lua_levels file from the data folder and add it to my project in a levels folder. This was working great until today. Now, for some reason I keep getting errors like this where it is having trouble dealing with dialogue strings I have in my game.
If I look at the world.lua file that has been generated, it seems to be getting stuck on splitting the dialogue string between 2 lines with the ending “ coming on the next line. Note: the game builds fine and works on the simulator as long as there is not a world.lua file there. With the added file, it will not build due to the errors. I am not sure if anyone else has dealt with issues like this and I know it’s more a third party tool than official Playdate, but any help or insight would be appreciated.
