the fudginess that physics engines have, both in simulation and collision detection, tends to be really annoying for games like platformers. not to mention they really really would like to have small and stable dt s thank you very much often you only want collision detection and want to handle the p...

I've actually seen that one. Unfortunately Love did get pretty sad benchmarks compared to the rest, although if you look way at the bottom of the comments someone edited the source code and made Love do 85k sprites compared to the 5-6k the thing had. Also using LuaJit someone went 9k but can't use ...

Only that Lua doesn't have constants. If you plan to have them anyway, make sure you replace every occurence with it's value when build the project, rather than make a local for it (let alone global). No namespace cluttering, no chance of screw it up by modifying a constant and better performance w...

it's a good idea to get into the habit of using the correct casing for files/directories, anyway, especially if you want your game to be cross-platform

my guess would be canvases + stencils + math

ieee probably should have called it something else, like "not representable" or something

reminds me of a past thread on the lua mailing list where someone suggested lua expressions that would have resulted in nan should return nil instead, because "not a number". NOPE.

The problem with tabs is that people say "oh, just change your editor's tabstops", and then it turns out they mix & matched tabs and spaces. For instance, lets look at what robin just did, but with 8 char tabs: function hodor() ------->if verylongveryverylong and ------->...somethinge...

a loading bar indicates you are not a proponent of premature optimization

I think my only real concern is whether the number being fed in will retain its identity. However, I tested this by comparing the actually set value with the expected value - tried this with 0, math.pi, and math.huge, and all three seemed to retain their identity just fine. well, lua numbers don't ...
