Re: Moonshine - A lightweight Lua VM for the browser
I really wish Love games could work in the browser. I know work has been done in the past but as I understand, it is out of date and I don't have the skills to contribute in any meaningful way. I've spent so long waffling back and forth between platforms to learn to make games on without making any...

Re: Moonshine - A lightweight Lua VM for the browser
The company responsible for it actually wants to port the LÖVE webplayer to it I think. They did a talk a while ago, let me find it... http://2013.capitoledulibre.org/conferences/lua-workshop/lua-and-the-web.html Hey, that's cool!

Moonshine - A lightweight Lua VM for the browser
http://moonshinejs.org/ I haven't had a chance to play with this yet but I would be interested to see if this could be leveraged to really get Love2D in the browser. Most of our SDL calls could be replicated through a JS API. I'll probably do some benchmarks and practical tests tonight if nobody bea...

Re: love-snippets: small bits of useful functionality
This is great stuff! Could you explain the logic behind this line?
It's fairly obvious what it does but can you comment on why it's necessary?
Code: Select all
local sdl = jit.os == "Windows" and ffi.load("SDL2") or ffi.C

Sight & Light
I really liked this article about rendering with simple and fast ray intersection logic. So I decided to port the ray logic into a really lightweight object. There are number of raycasting implementations for Lua out there but most of them have a lot of dependencies. This implementation only depends...

Re: What techniques that everyone should know?
I can't think of anywhere that I've used this with the Love2D api but there have been times when something requests a Lua callback and passes that callback something not super useful. For example, the VBA lua scripting interface function for `memory.registerwrite` passes the memory address to the ca...

Re: Information on the game industry
Working in the games industry does not necessarily preclude you from making good money or having a good work/life balance. I joined a small, social games company when they were less than 10 people and they have grown to more than 60 now. I never work weekends and have plenty of time for side project...

Re: Wanted: people to test LÖVE 0.9.1
I'm haven't tried out the new features but I did a quick regression over my 0.9.0 projects and everything seems fine there.
