When I decided to draw a bezier curve in Love, at some point the game started lagging. This was because I was drawing each segment separately in a for loop. Drawing as little as a few hundred segments already seemed a problem. Then I discovered you could put many points inside the love.graphics.line...

This is handy for english keyboard input. However, it doesn't work with anything above 126, as Lua lacks unicode support. You can convert the unicode into string, you can try a function, like this: function love.load() tab = {} txt = "" font = love.graphics.newFont("consola.ttf"...

A related question. There are two locations: - the read-only .love archive - the read-write Save directory If I use functions like love.filesystem.exists("foo.bar") or love.filesystem.read("foo.bar") , LOVE will first look inside the SAVE directory and if it's missing, in the .LO...

Oh okay so you use all three. And do you always have to do the "string.format("%s\n\n%s\n\n%s\n\n%s")" bit for everything you send over or is that specific to that example? I have a feeling like you didn't analyse the code thoroughly ;). You don't use all three functions, you on...

OK, but why do you do this:
When it could be done like this:

Thanks a lot! I've got everything working (I think). I've downloaded Serpent and figured out how to serialize (serpent.line(message)), but I can't figure out how to deserialize, do you happen to know the name of the deserialization function? It's there in the link I gave you ;). local serpent = req...

Oh! That clears it up quite a lot! Could you explain "message = "M" .. tostring(move)" this line though, is that what gives (1,1)? (not really sure here). Well, since you can only send strings via LUBE, and you want to put more than one variable in a packet, you have to concaten...

Assuming we have 3 players online, let's assume they all send these things: P1 Sends: Moving, Combat, Skills P2 Sends: Combat, Skills, Moving P3 Sends: Skills, Moving, Combat As you can see they all send data in a different order. How does the server know to execute the function that handles Moving...

So if I wanted to send different things in different orders I couldn't? Would that mean that I would just have to send everything every time I want to send something? What are you saying here? :P I don't understand. You receive a packet, then you read what it is, then you do something with it. With...

When you read from a TCP socket, you're guaranteed to read the data in order it was sent. If ALL of your data has to be delivered, then you have to use TCP. UDP is good for data that expires after a short time (if it's old, it's useless) or that is replaced by new data. If you send player state via ...
