Re: Space Rocks

Thank you! Appreciate the feedback! Agreed, the ship rotation and accel should be tweaked. Rotation step should also be reduced to allow for finer grained control. Many times tapping rotation buttons to get the ship pointed at the asteroid will overshoot. We also considered adding friction like the ...

Re: I need help with collision

Try going through some tutorials. I started with this one (http://sheepolution.com/learn/book/contents). It has a good gentle introduction to Lua and Löve.

[solved] Re: Hardon collider and image centers

I wound up centering the centroid of the game object shape to the image center. This resolved the rotation origin discrepancy between HardonCollider:shape:rotate() and lg.draw(image, x, y, angle, 1, 1, image:getWidth()/2, image:getHeight()/2). The downside is that asset creation takes a bit longer. ...
