Re: Local iterator functions slower than global?

To clarify, I didn't mean "localize it right before using it".

See http://wiki.luajit.org/Numerical-Comput ... ance-Guide the part about "Do not try to second-guess the JIT compiler."

Re: Local iterator functions slower than global?

I would still test how fast localizing ipairs, pairs and next is when the locals used have the same names ... pairs() and ipairs() are called exactly once per loop, to generate the 3 variables used by the for loop. You'd save at most a single index operation on _G per loop. next() is called each it...

Re: Local iterator functions slower than global?

http://wiki.luajit.org/Bytecode-2.0#calls-and-vararg-handling Note: The Lua parser heuristically determines whether pairs() or next() might be used in a loop. In this case, the JMP and the iterator call ITERC are replaced with the specialized versions ISNEXT and ITERN. ISNEXT verifies at runtime tha...

Re: math help

Here's a function that takes 2 points and rotates one around the other. local function rotatePoint(cx,cy,px,py,angle) local s = math.sin(angle) local c = math.cos(angle) px,py = px-cx,py-cy return px*c - py*s + cx,px*s + py*c + cy end function love.draw() local cx,cy = 100,100 --center of rotation l...

Re: Inaccurate results from Font:getWidth()

Played around with the undocumented rasterizer, managed to draw the actual outline of a letter. local testFont = love.graphics.newFont("Power.ttf", 128) local rasterizer = love.font.newRasterizer("Power.ttf",128) local glyphData = rasterizer:getGlyphData("A") for k,v in...

Re: Trouble generating string-based seeds

Repeated string concatenation produces a lot of garbage for the garbage collector, work with bytes or use table.concat Here's a very bad string hashing function local maxSeed = 2^30 local function stringToSeed(s) local seed = 1 for i=1,s:len() do seed = (seed*31337 + s:byte(i))%maxSeed end return se...

Re: Anim8 Walking Animation using keys returning nil

Code: Select all

function love.update(dt)
