I actually figured it out.

My question though was "how do you do strings and file handling in Lua". Sorry about earlier DX

Okay, I'm kind of stumped on one thing - Lua's string functions. I'm trying to write a parser for my Love2D-based map editor, which has the format as followed: -- Comment header for no reason. map[1] = {1, 2, 3} objmap[1] = {55, 66, 77} It may look similar... because it's actually an included LUA fi...

Guys and gals, I have great wonderful news. http://i773.photobucket.com/albums/yy16/KraigTheC/Project%20Dominion/th_pdomedit1.png There is now an official map editor for Project Dominion! I call it PDomEdit right now. It uses Love2D and heavy Lua scripting! It currently has these features: Save to e...

Good example. if isPaused == false then isPaused = true -- this flag stops the main game rendering and logic else isPaused = false -- this flag unfreezes game rendering and logic end How about: isPaused = not isPaused ? Ah! I was not familiar with the not keyword! Does it basically act like !varNam...

I'm not sure if it helps or anything, because I'm not knowing the specifics of exactly what you are trying to accomplish. However, when it comes to waiting... one thing I notice is I'm able to do a countdown clock method. This is a simple example from my own game: -- in player.lua pauseCooldown = 60...

Thanks for the replies, guys. I am surprised at how easy Git was to set up, even on Windows 7.

I got a GitHub account and got a repository going:

I'm a newbie to the forum as well! I hope you enjoy your stay, regardless. Here's a tip about Lua - it's really easy to get into, and with love2d, it's really powerful once you get used to some quirks. I recommend the best way, as I did, is to dive in. A tip - comment often - specifically at the top...

Project Dominion Episode #1 What is it? Back in 2007 I started developing wacky ZDoom mods, but lately I've been wanting to do more standalone coding work. As a stepping stone I stumbled upon Love2D, and am currently working on a project based on this concept: The story revolves around a shy Canadi...

I actually had to do this the other day for an overhead shooter I'm developing. My method is not the fastest, but it works for what I need to do. I convert the radians to degrees, perform my calculations, then convert it back to radians using the corresponding math.* functions. It's easier and seems...
