Gravity problem

hallomio77

Hey guys, I've got a problem with my code.
I'm a total beginner, but I've started a project. There you should change the gravity of the game by taping on the screen.
But my problem is, that the actor, which should move with the gravity doesn't move and if you tap on the screen the whole App (Codea) crashes. Maybe you can detect my mistake. Thank you very much

@hallomio77 Replace your drawPlay with this one. Also, add physics.continuous=true as the first line in function setup().

function drawPlay(body)
    -- Push style and transform matrix so we can restore them after
    pushStyle()
    pushMatrix()
    --local body = physics.body(POLYGON,vec2(-10, 10),
    --vec2(-10, -10), vec2(10, -10), vec2(10, 10))
    --body.type = DYNAMIC
    translate(body.x, body.y)
    rotate(body.angle)
    sprite("Platformer Art:Battor Flap 1",0,0, 20, 20)
    -- Draw body based on shape type
    if body.shapeType == POLYGON then
        local points = body.points
        for j = 1,#points do
            a = points[j]
            b = points[(j % #points)+1]
            line(a.x, a.y, b.x, b.y)
        end
    -- Restore style and transform
    popMatrix()
    popStyle()
    end
end

EDIT: I replaced your sprite with a built in sprite since I didnt have access to your sprite.

Thank you very much now everything works pervect. That very nice of you
