Re: MiniDigger - The Terarria Clone that isn't Terarria.

I like the look of it. One question that comes to mind though, are your physics decoupled from framerate properly? In the video it looked like on the moon, blocks were falling at slightly different rates at different times, but it was so subtle I could be wrong. Two Three other quick questions: Are...

It's a Big, Big World - 2D Platforming Sandbox

Hey there! I'm currently working on a game right now that is similar to Minecraft and Terarria but eventually will break away from the strictly sandbox game and have some essence to it. But for now, I have this working ( very well I might say ) prototype! ry1VKk00KEI Downloads Current version: 11.10...

Re: Stabilizing Physics

Case closed. After a lot of discussion with one of my friends, I fixed it. Thanks for your help!

Re: Stabilizing Physics

Basically I want physics to update at the same speed no matter what the framerate is, which is not what's happening right now. :\

Re: [Need Help] Loading Dynamic Content (aka mods)

So, here's an example: --A lua file ( I know you're using json ) that has data return { itema = "thing", itemb = "thing", } --the loading code for k, v in pairs( love.filesystem.getDirectoryItems( dir ) do --get the file local t = pcall( love.filesystem.load( fileLocation )( ) ) ...

Re: [Need Help] Loading Dynamic Content (aka mods)

I dont suggest using io.open when you can just use love.filesystem.read( ). Even better, make the table setup like "return { }" then all you need to do is "local t = pcall( love.filesystem.load( path )( ) )"

Re: [Need Help] Loading Dynamic Content (aka mods)

Alright. The way I do it in my game is that I have different folders for each object type: worldTypes, blocks, and items. I loop through each one and find the block, read it's table, and throw it into a metatable so that any other values not added get added and then the table is put into the global ...

Re: Stabilizing Physics

I'm not sure if I'm using DT correctly. My code's a mess and the game isn't 100% optimized in terms of efficiency, but it runs. Moon world breaks. I'm working on a fix to that, I promise Controls (configurable in the options menu:) A-D: move character Space: Jump Left Click: break block Rclick: plac...

Re: Stabilizing Physics

This did better but still did not solve my issue. Before the jumping would be lower depeding on the speed, but now if the framerate is lower, so is the gravity inflicted on the player. I'll look into this further. It's funny because I tried doing something like this before but actually didn't update...
