If I understand it correctly I create a "main" class, probabably called "Tank", and create all of the needed functions, basic variables in there, and then later on I just create multiple subclasses (Which, due to innheritance) need not have all the functions that the base class ...

hi there! One thing that took me a lot of time to understand about programming is this: there's almost never a "objective best" way to do things. This is because *you* will be the person doing it, and that's a very important factor. I will tell you what *I* would do but you need a "su...

I'm by no means an expert in performance (If anything, I am the contrary), but I have some remarks. I never use table.remove or table.insert . If I am going to be doing frequent insertions and deletions, what I try to do first is using the items as keys, like this: t[new_item]=1 -- insertion t[old_i...

device manager says the driver is up to date That can mean two things. One option is that the device manager is correct. In that case, that means that there are no up-to-date drivers for your graphics card on windows, but they are available on linux. That's rare, but it could happen. The other opti...

Without being able to look at your whole source code, it is nearly impossible to know what is really happening. I can tell you however that your approach for skipping drawing stuff is upside-down. Instead of "going through all objects in the scene, and checking a condition to see which ones sho...

I never published something under some licence so maybe someone can help me with this? I usually go with the MIT license . In common English it means "do whatever you want with this code, just don't sue me, and mention me somewhere". It is also short enough so that you can put it directly...

Draw it in a canvas. Then you can use canvas:getPixel.

You could also re-render Tiggy each time he changes its items (do not render "each possible item combination", just the current one). You will need to use a canvas to render that. You can use the canvas to render the animation with anim8 just fine. When there's an inventory change, swap th...

Hi there, I want to ask about the health system. It is quite complicated. Can I enquire about the design reasons behind this complexity? Recently I have started playing Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead (http://en.cataclysmdda.com/) and they have a comparatively simple health system: Human bodies are divid...

Thanks, I'm glad it worked well for you!
