I'm wrestling with getting through some of the LUA stuff, since I'll have to learn the syntax in school in a year or so anyway.

Since I don't use the built in verge mapping functions, I need to be able to display images directly to the screen, and cannot for the life of me figure out how to make it work.

In C, I would just loadimage, blit. I can get images to function by just reffing the v3 functions directly, but this doesn't seem to be the elegant way to do this while interacting with the image class in VX.

Any advice?

Overkill

No worries, vx.Image has a Blit method! :D



local img = vx.Image('hero.png')

while not vx.key.Enter.pressed do

    -- Draws img to the screen.

    img:Blit(5, 5)

    -- If you prefer to be explicit:

    -- img:Blit(5, 5, vx.screen)

    vx.ShowPage()

end

(ohbtw, Lua is not an acronym. It is a word, Portuguese for moon. CAPITALIZING THE LETTERS THAT DO NOT NEED IT IS WEIRD WHY DO TONS OF PEOPLE DO IT. And "vx" is lower-case. I'm picky ;_;)
