I am making a Lua Love 2d game and I wanted to use the love.keypressed function to make a dash a move. But there is an eror.
I want my function to detect only once so I can make my dash.enter image description here
function love.load()
player = {}
player.x = 400
player.y = 500
player.speedY = 3
player.speedX = 4

player.lives = 5
player.points = 0
background = love.graphics.newImage('sprites/SpaceBackground.png')
asteroid = {}
asteroid.x = {200, 460, 630}
asteroid.y = {0, 0, 0}
asteroid.speedY = 4
asteroid.sprite = love.graphics.newImage('sprites/Asteroid.png')
asteroid.number = 3
asteroid.missed = 1
bullet = {}
bullet.x = {}
bullet.y = {}
bullet.speed = 11
bullet.sprite = love.graphics.newImage('sprites/bullet.png')
bullet.number = 0
heart = {}
heart.x = {200}
heart.y = {-200}
heart.speed = 4
heart.sprite = love.graphics.newImage('sprites/Heart.png')
heart.number = 1
whenIshotLast = 0
updates = 0
updates2 = 0

end
function areColliding(x1, y1, sx1, sy1, x2, y2, sx2, sy2)
if x2 <= x1 + sx1 and x1 <= x2 + sx2 and y2 <= y1 + sy1 and y1 <= y2 + sy2 then
return true
else
return false
end
end
function love.update(dt)
if(player.lives > 0) then
updates = updates + 1
updates2 = updates2 + 1

if updates3 > 200 then
player.points = player.points + 1

end

end
-- Player movement controls

Can you tell me how am I supposed to use the love.keypressed function?enter image description here
