Re: Cameras in Love2D (Tutorials)

Technocat, I tried to do it that way, but it didn't work properly.... I can't even begin to describe the bug I was getting. *_*
After checking the tutorials again I got it right, thanks BlackBulletIV! :)

Re: Cameras in Love2D (Tutorials)

Thanks for the awesome tutorials and code :D I've just implemented it tonight, and it works really well.
Just one problem I've had... my mouse cursor position doesn't seem to update as the camera moves. How would I be able to correct this? :|

Re: LuAstar, a simple A* pathfinding class

I think I know what he means by tile-based. You say very true things, however, judging by the "can you make it work with love.physics" part, I assume he does not understand A*. (For reference: see Wikipedia .) Yeah, it's been so long since I read up on A* I've forgotten exactly how it wor...

Re: Further Than Ever

Cool! I actually liked the way the net was controlled. If it were easier the game wouldn't be challenging.
Also... are you sure it's about birds and not people? :p

Re: LuAstar, a simple A* pathfinding class

I like this a lot! :D I've been wondering how to tackle AI for a while now, and this is great!!
Any chance of modifying it to work with love.physics and not tile-based?

Re: Masai game - the birth of a platformer

tentus, thanks! I've neatened it up a little bit now. I also use PHP - I've been using LUA for just over 2 weeks now, and I've not once looked at a LUA programming guide - I'm just trying things ( '!running' failed, and I didn't think of trying 'not running' ) :D I've learnt LUA from the LÖVE2d wiki...

Re: Masai game - the birth of a platformer

Finally, in Lua, you don't need semicolons on the end of lines, or parenthesis in if statements, unless you feel like it makes things easier to read. Saves a bit of typing in the long run and clears up the screen if you leave them out. I'm used to semicolons and parenthesis... it does make it easie...

Re: Masai game - the birth of a platformer

Thanks must go to bartbes for pointing out that I should use a restitution of 0 for both the player and the ground if I want to eliminate the bounce.
Still, I think it's a handy effect for different surface types like mud. I'll implement it later when I actually get that far :p

Re: Masai game - the birth of a platformer

It seems the player loses momentum as soon as they land. That may be realistic, but it doesn't feel very "platformery". I know, it actually 'bugs' me quite a bit! I'm not quite sure how to fix it though. It's got to do with the physics. The player bounces slightly, and can't move as quick...

Masai WIP - the birth of a platformer

Hi!! This is my first post on the forum, although I've been trolling IRC for a week or two now, so I'll try not to 'iterate' anyone :) I've started a simple platformer which will revolve around jumping, and will be mostly vertical. I'm using love.physics a lot. I've yet to figure out how to manage m...
