It's a while back but i just remembered to share this piece with you all http://globalgamejam.org/2014/games/i-am-sam Idea is simple. the light character can only move within lighted area, vice-versa. supposedly to win the game, you light up the angel statues and put demon statues in the dark. but w...

did this for fun. could be useful trying to render cloud, smoke, etc.

I have been using ProFi to profile the running time of functions, which has been helpful; but is there anyway to investigate the memory allocations/dellocations/usages?

thanks in advance

Here's a shockwave shader i ported from some random website. Purely experimental, and please forgive me for losing track the source

click to spawn a shockwave

thank you
could you tell me what method/software did you use to get rid off it? i can look at it myself next time if this happen again.

here i grabbed a looping sound effect, recoded into ogg. however, i used source:setLooping and played it, and there's this very noticeable interval of silence before the sound get replayed. i tried using another platform(mac/windows), tried other formats, but the problem remained still. does this ha...

Right, you probably want to mark it for deletion and set it to not collide with anything, then you can remove it the next frame. See Shape:setMask . THANKS GUYS! i missed this. this should do the same as toss it away, and i tried, everything is functioning now. :) I can keep on working now! i've al...

ok.. i found this way that potentially solved my problem


k.body:setPosition(-200000,-200000)

just toss the body far away. so far i've encountered no crashes, although i know this method is super awkward.

emm. sorry to bother, but i implemented as i described but the crash continued on. i'm pasting the related code: function Map:destroyBody(obj) self.destroys[obj] = true end function Map:update(dt) for k,v in pairs(self.destroys) do self.destroys[k] = true end collides = {} self.world:update(dt) hand...

thanks for your help, but i'd like to ask for more help :P so i'm currently thinking, when trying to delete, mark the body/shape as 'needed to delete', when receive remove collision callback on those shapes and there're no more shapes colliding with them, push them into a table and delete them after...
