Re: Platformer Collaboration. I'm a noob, so noobs are welcome.

Could someone please pay attention to this? I care about it. People will be more likely to give you a hand if you have specific problems and show that you've put some effort in to try and solve them yourself. Your previous post reads to me like "There would be more progress if other people wou...

Nicely polished and very satisfying to play. The attack has a really crunchy feel to it. Sadly I couldn't get past the punching boss though.

Re: I made a .love file creator...

You can also get rid of the renaming step by specifying .love instead of .zip on the first line. Annoyingly you can't (at least not with Compress-Archive), but you can still do it in a one-liner: powershell "Compress-Archive -Update -Path <Path-To-Game-Root>\* -DestinationPath test.zip; Move-I...

Re: I made a .love file creator...

Nice. You can remove the 7zip dependency by using Powershell, which has been available on Windows for a few versions now:

Code: Select all

powershell "Compress-Archive -Update -Path <Game-Root-Directory-Path>\* -DestinationPath mygame.zip"

Re: Exemplar(A side project that became a game)

Re: Abandoned ECS platformer

Looks great, movement is natural, plays very smooth, I'd say you have a solid base here. The art looks great too. Thanks for the feedback. I am quite happy with how the player movement came out, though there are a few minor bugs (which I know how to fix, I just didn't bother). The 'engine' is prett...

Abandoned ECS platformer

A few months ago I started working on a platformer that I was planning to have done and dusted in about 40 hours of work. Long story short I procrastinated by spending too much time on minutiae, including rewriting the entities system using Tiny ECS, until I eventually got bored and stopped working ...

Re: if statement fails randomly but works most times

Your code to reset the player is inside your enemy collision loop. If there are no enemies in the enemy list there that code will not be executed. Move this block of code underneath the enemy collision loop and it works better: if health == 0 then isAlive = false end --if not isAlive then isExplorin...

Re: How would I hide the title bar?

You also can't move a borderless window (on Windows 10 at least), which I would say is also necessary for usability. Personally I'd just leave it on.
