GUI kit

I really am trying my best to learn Lua/mudlet, but some things are as of yet a bit out of my mental reach.

This really is a simple matter, but I can't figure out what most of this actually is:

Code: Select all

createLabel("out",0,0,16,15,1);
setBackgroundImage("out",string ..  sep .. "out.png" );
setBackgroundColor("out", 0,0,0,0);
setLabelClickCallback("out", "walk", "out" )
moveWindow("out",20,compass_south_point+183)

I want to learn this so I can fix the compass to pop the in/out arrows and stairs/door images into the console itself. If anyone can explain, even if only partially, what this is, it'd be a great help.

have you taken a look at the manual for definitions on these functions? If so, can you be more specific as to what it is you don't understand about them, so I can try to explain those particular aspects to you better?

Have you considered using the help channel?

Yeh I'm not sure which part needs explanation that you didn't get from the manual.
