Re: Please can someone help me write a shader/function
Here's an example of drawing an image as uniform shards randomly scattered over the screen. The result is not aesthetically pleasing but demonstrates how to build the required mesh. U and V are the coordinates into the texture, and are in normalised space (i.e., 0 to 1). You should be able to modify...

Re: Variable gets set to nil when it shouldn't
Read this line really carefully.
Code: Select all
koopa.mvspd = transformedfrom[2].mvpsd

Re: How do you really tell if your game has a memory leak?
I've always thought of a memory leak as memory consumption that can't be recovered, similar to others in the thread. In the case of a GC'd language haemorrhaging memory I've always just considered this wasteful programming. Your example is quite illustrative as to why you can't just ignore memory co...

Re: What is your pet coding peeve?
Anything I've done before. I love learning new stuff or working on novel approaches to already solved problems (like my unnecessarily complicated GPU raycaster from a few years ago), but I can rarely make it part of a complete package because I can't be bothered doing the rest of the work that I'm a...

Re: Variable Jump Height
No problem. dy is the y velocity of the player, analogous to your yspeed. There's a separate function that handles moving and colliding the player using dx and dy but it doesn't affect how the jump works (Aside from setting those values to 0 in the event of a collision on the relevant axis)

Re: Variable Jump Height
This is how I've done it in a pico8 game I'm working on. if not btn(btnjmp) and jt<10 then jmpheld=false end jt+=1 if jt<=minjmp or (jmpheld and jt<=maxjmp) then plyr.dy=-1 end I run this code while the player is jumping after gravity is applied. It essentially overrides the gravity when the player ...

Re: just asking for tips
We're going to need more to go on. Are you using a physics engine or some custom physics? What are you trying to achieve, what have you tried and what is it doing instead of what you want? And lastly show us the code that's not working.

Re: DEMO on STEAM: Andy Blast Vs The Forces of Evil
Can't see a demo on the Steam page, just says coming soon. Edit: Actually it's available to download on the desktop Steam client, I was trying on my Steam Deck last night. It's quite fun if a bit unforgiving. The controls aren't really my cup of tea, would be nice to be able to configure the layout ...

Re: Can a non-Windows peep test my love file?
Dug out my old Macbook Pro running OSX 10.15.7 and it works fine there too, though the splash screen doesn't seem to display properly. It's contained to the top left of the screen with some artifacting at to the right and bottom of the image (though I suspect this is just what's drawn offscreen when...

Re: Can a non-Windows peep test my love file?
Following your steps works fine for me using Ubuntu 20.04.6. When I load up another file that's there called "draftpo" I get the below error (maybe you're expecting that just thought I'd give you the stacktrace anyway): Error functions.lua:115: attempt to get length of global 'TEAMS' (a ni...
