I'd be shocked if lua on luajit doesn't run as fast as compiled c#. The last time I benchmarked luajit against c code, it was about half as fast, on average, which is extraordinary for a scripting language. Even vanilla lua is extremely fast on my system. I don't usually bother with luajit.

https://www.gameacademy.com/why-do-some-indie-games-fail/ I feel that this author never wrote a single line of code of his life. Which, of course, begs the question, how much does coding have to do with the success of a game (vs. art, marketing, concept, and pure luck)? :) Sorry, off-topic.

I wrote a markup interpreter in python, years ago. It was very simple. All I did was store a dozen or so regular expressions in a table and run them on each line of text in a series of if statements. This would be even easier in lua, since the pattern-matching is easier (at least for me) to use. In ...

A line can be described as "y * sin(a) + x * cos(a) - p = 0". If the line goes through the origin, you can ignore the "-p". If you know the angle (a), just fill in the x value from your point, then solve for y (or vice versa). y = (x * cos(a)) / (- sin(a)) If y is close to your p...

Here's what I did: function screen_class:redraw() ... love.graphics.scale(self.graphic_scale, self.graphic_scale) ... -- draw stuff ... love.graphics.scale(1, 1) ... end function love.mousereleased(x, y, button, istouch, presses) game:mouse_input(x, y) end function game_class:mouse_input(ix, iy) -- ...

Are you scaling your mouse input coordinates by the same factor as the screen has been scaled?

I don't think you've got exactly the same symptoms I did. However, the last time I ran into a random crash like that, it turned out that I was starting the game before my editor had actually finished saving it. Love was trying to run the project with a missing or partial file (with hilarious consequ...
