Re: Thank you LÖVE :)

Just curious, what exactly disenchanted you from gamedev? The fact that for a proper game, more than any cool programming tricks, you need a good writer, artist and a musician. Although it is possible to combine it into one (see Touhou, ZUN) I could not see myself fulfilling all those roles. That i...

Re: Does anyone use/recommend a standard 2D map editor (not tiled)?

I know that sounds like a lot of work, but honestly, program your own level editor.
It's not as painful as it sounds, and will ensure that the editor encompasses all the specifics of your game.
As another advantage, it will allow for user-made levels!

Re: Physics/Box2D: prismatic joints?

I think you should leave Box2D implementation, unless it causes low performance. The bouncing of the balls looks pretty good !

Re: Weld joints are buggy on 0.10.1 Linux/Android

That last screenshot looks like the sort of thing that might have happened before reference angle was added to the weld joint constructor. Are you 100% sure these screenshots are all from the same version of Love? That seems to be the cause. My Linux and Android version of Love was 0.10. 2 , which ...

Weld joints are buggy on 0.10.2 [SOLVED]

EDIT: It seems it's a 0.10. 2 specific bug, not OS-related bug. I've found a quite peculiar bug that hopefully someone can help me with. I have a level, made up of a bunch of rectangle bodies, joined by weld joints, and revolute joint in the middle. Weld joints are represented by red wiggly dots ma...

Re: HUMP wont restart gamestate

You see, the init() method used to load data is set to nil by HUMP after it's called once. What you can do, is to change your current init() method and rename it to loadState(), for example. Then, in the init() call loadState(). Whenever you need to restart the game, call loadState(). No, thats jus...
