Emulating the Space Invaders look and feel - Tobias V. Langhoff

My attempt at making a Space Invaders emulator look like the arcade cabinet.

Hi Tobias,

I'm Alex and I've come across your Moon Invaders' emulator during my ongoing Quest for the Greatest.

From what I could find on the web, yours is the most accurate version of arcade Space Invaders I've seen yet! Congratulations. :)

I've got everything working save for the sound. Whenever I add the required wav files I keep getting the same error. This one:

Error

main.lua:123: attempt to call field 'newSourcer' (a nil value)

Traceback

main.lua:123: in function 'load'
[C]: in function 'xpcall'
[C]: in function 'xpcall'

Not being a software developer myself, can you point me in the right direction to solve this?

Thank you for your time.
Regards from sunny Lagos
Alex

@GitZombieHub Oops! My bad. That's a simple typo in the source code, which I actually fixed last summer, but I forgot to update the release ZIP file. I have now released version 1.1, with a ZIP file for Windows. Making a release for macOS is a little more involved, I'll try to do it as soon as possible. Very sorry about the inconvenience!
