Re: LICENSE YOUR WORK!

May i also suggest on the forum rules that "any file you upload is released under xxxx license unless explicitly stated otherwise in the file or accompanying post." Kind of like forcing those aware of the matter to state a license, while those that just upload surely don't want to lock the...

Re: Professional Game Design Documents

Thanks Kaze. It was a 3 minute playtime prototype :)

Re: default to default font

Being torn between both sides (simplicity for the user vs. optimized code) I figured i will share my thoughts on this. At first, i thought "of course there should be a default font loaded," but as rude pointed out, this is an unnecessary font load which is wasteful for every application ex...

It will be a very n...

suggested callback initialize()

I must say i find the load() function name a little not-fitting. I would suggest renaming it to initialize(), which i think fits better. I believe any kind of initialization goes on in that function, not just loading :) Which brings me to another thought. Is the function even necessary? Is it called...

Re: LUBE (Networking Library)

I am checking regularly... to see the name :) But seriously, keep up the good work. As soon as I can master Lua to some degree, i'm sure such a library will come in handy!
