Re: collision problem

Can you post the code that uses this? I.e., a love file? Also it'd be easier to read w proper indentation.

Re: love.load vs stuff at top of main.lua

I get the feeling that love.load only exists because that's how other game frameworks do it, even those in languages where code cannot be executed outside of a function or classes. Load() would be necessary in such languages, but effectively is not necessary in lua. For example, you could just put e...

love.load vs stuff at top of main.lua

Is there any effective difference between putting stuff in love.load() versus just putting stuff in the beginning of main.lua? Why would you choose one over the other?

Thanks!

Re: a small toboolean function

Well... I think there is such a thing as bad code. For example, it is possible to overcomplicate things, especially for programmers who are naturally systematizers. One example is "Fizz-Buzz Enterprise Edition." https://github.com/EnterpriseQualityCoding/FizzBuzzEnterpriseEdition Fizz-Buzz...

Hah... aww, c'mon guys, that's mean-spirited.

I want to know which Love forums poster is Hans_Meiser_Koeln.

Re: Accessing shift+<...> scancodes?

I think scancodes are dependent on the specific keys pressed and are independent of which particular keyboard layout you have or whether modifier keys like shift, ctrl, whatever, is pressed. For example, the . key on a US keyboard will produce the same scancode regardless of whether shift, ctrl, wha...

Re: Help with saving level data

look up a serialization library such as:

https://love2d.org/wiki/Tserial

It'll convert your day into a string which you can write to a file and will convert a string back to a table for loading from a file.

Re: making a platform game with destructible terrain?

Well... I think you should start with the easiest thing and build out the system from there. Maybe start with a player represented by a table with an x and y position. Every frame update the position based on input. Then add gravity and floor collision detection. Then add a data representation to re...
