There is no such thing as copying a table really. [...] And löve won't go into a four dimensional time hole loop cycle and consume your PC. Thank you very much for your time and information. I am relieved to hear that löve isn't going to break the space time continuum, as I probably wouldn't have s...

If I have a table: table = {} table.number table.body table.shape table.fixture And then I do table.fixture:setUserData(table) Would that store a reference to the table or duplicate it? I'm also trying not to dwell on the paradoxical implication that it will create a copy of the fixture in the data ...

The physics contact filter sends two fixtures in a collision to my HandleCollision() function. Is there a way for me to access the parent table of the fixtures passed? I have a table that contains the shape, body, fixture, and crucial data such as health and damage of the objects. When a collision o...

Hey! The videos are great. I would love to see more details for how you're doing things like the visual effects.

You should definitely consider the for loop. I use for loops for iterating through array indices. It looks like this: for i=1,10,1 do --do stuff here end Essentially it says, set a new local variable i equal to 1, stop this loop when i is greater than 10, and add 1 to i each time the loop is run.

Hey, you're not an idiot :) We all have to start somewhere, and you're on the right track, there's just a typo or misunderstanding with one of your operators. Your game crashes on line 8... let's look at that line of code: until h = 580 So it's clear you're using the repeat ... until statement in lu...

I had heard about LOVE2D before I saw your videos, but it was actually these that convinced me to start using it

Please keep them coming; the tip on using Zero Brain Studio was amazing.. I'm not sure if I would be coding in Love without it.

You are absolutely right -- if I hadn't made that syntax error then I wouldn't have gone on to make the setcontactfilter(handlecollision()) mistake... Thank you so much for your time.

Thank you for the logical explanation to my mistakes. It did occur to me to call it as World:setContactFilter(HandleCollision), which does appear to be the correct approach, but that did not work for other reasons. I see now that it didn't work because I am making multiple mistakes. You say that the...

I have another question regarding love physics. I am attempting to use the function World:setContactFilter( filter ) to control what happens when different objects collide. I am not sure how to set the contact filter function with appropriate syntax; the filter function is supposed to receive two ar...
