Hi Lord Uber Dowzen. Like coffee pointed out your topic title is a bit imprecise. "Save system" usually refers to loading and saving user preferences, hiscores and progress. What you're designing in this case I would call the "level file format". A while ago a wrote someting you...

OK sorry for the delay, here's my latest build. Hope it helps!

OK, I worked it out. Now I just need to work on saving...

Thanks Taehl, I'm sure that'll be useful when I get to saving my map. I'm having some issues implementing coffee's system though. At the moment I'm able to run a loop that fills the table in map.lua but I'm unable to do the same thing when I define the contents of the table myself in map.lua. Any id...

When you say: As I can see from your code your haven't yet built an "internal" map nor you have a map file to load but ok. You should first build your tile engine with an internal map and only after starting thinking loading/saving. do you mean have some code which fills in the map table w...

Cool, I'll try and implement that now. Thanks!

I'm finding the documentation quite confusing and I've been unable to find any tutorials. Basically, at the moment all I want to do is dump the contents o...

Exams are done and I've finished prototyping, I'm ready to actually start building my game. :awesome: I've got a couple of things I need to work out though. The general idea of the game is that you are trying to get a blob through a series of platformer game style levels. The twist is you can't dire...

OK, will do. The error is just a straight up crash. e.g. Love doesn't display any error information. I know the code it a bit of a mess but my plan is to restart from scratch when I've got the basics worked out. Instructions: Click and hold on big circle and drag away to create smaller circle. Relea...

OK, so now that I have a few days of spare time I'm trying to get my prototype build for my game finished. At the moment I've got some code that creates a circle shape and matching body which then attaches to the mouse so that you can drag it around. Clicking the left mouse button creates the object...
