Sounds interesting! Just asked, since I know I'll need this in the future. Not going to do anything about it now, instead going to reply when I'll try it, when I'm done with my game.

Appreciate the link.

Just search in the support and development threads , this have been covered a lot. You can also give a look at this tutorial series , there's a handy solution provided there, in Lua, with Love2D. Unfortunately the tutorial series seem to have the same jumping mechanism as I do. And I've tried searc...

This article http://higherorderfun.com/blog/2012/05/20/the-guide-to-implementing-2d-platformers/ has some thoughts on jump physics. Scroll down all the way to "jump control". Thanks, but I already get the concept. What I don't get is how to write it down in code. I have it gradually slowi...

I wonder if that's possible... For example: I would like to distribute the .exe file along with the .dlls, but also .dat (or another format). In other words, only compile the .lua files and leave the rest of the to be added with the game distribution.

I can't manage to make the jump physics to work as I want: I want the character to jump depending on how long the key is being held down. Here is my code: -- jump speed is equal to jump speed minus jump acceleration if (love.keyboard.isDown(' ')) then this.jspeed = this.jspeed - this.jspeedacc P.S. ...

Sounds interesting, I'll definitely check out the Hardon Collider, if I won't like it, I'll write the code myself as I've an idea already how to do it quite efficiently.

Back to working on sprites and loading a tilemap from a spritesheet for now.

I've been playing around with LOVE a bit, as I've gotten some LUA knowledge and I see "tutorial" exercises as essentially pointless as they are simply discarded afterwards... So I prefer learning on-the-go. In other words, I'm new to LOVE as of now. Anyway, I have looked around and I haven...

I suggest Programming in Lua . I linked to the first edition, which is available for free online, but covers Lua 5.0 -- while LÖVE uses Lua 5.1. Most of the time this is not a problem, however. Once you've read it all (except for the part about the C API, that's not relevant if you're writing games...

I'm going to try it. Gotta read some material on LUA first though, as I know only C++.

I am 14 and have 3 years of Lua experience, I suck with graphics. I should tell you that even however young you are (or whatever "basic" skills you may have) - good luck with coding; to be honest, I am addicted to it - I just love know that I actually managed to do this and that... you ca...
