Re: LÖVE-Packer: packaging made simple

I don't know if it means anything to you, but I don't mind the large file size. 60MB is just not that much nowadays.

Re: wave - a sound manager with audio parsing and rhythm functionalities

Woah, this looks really nice! I was working on my own dynamic music library, but I guess I won't need it anymore!

Re: Ok maybe i'm stupid

There's nothing inherently different about them. They're just split into update and draw for the sake of good organization. Also, update has the dt argument and draw doesn't, which reinforces that good organization.

Re: What is even the point of the GFX folder?

Are you talking about the game distribution page? The gfx/character.png is just part of an example. It's showing you what your zip file should look like if your project had a gfx/character.png; it's not saying that you always have to have that file. The only file you're required to have in a LOVE pr...

[library] Tactile v2.0 pre-release

So Kingdaro made this pull request, and it kind of spiraled into a whole new rewrite of Tactile. For those of you who don't know, Tactile is an input library for managing different input sources.

Re: I am an unfortunate victim of perfectionism.

That's a pain. Back before my relatively long break from game dev, when I was like...13?...I couldn't finish anything. I would always get caught up in game architecture issues, and it always seemed more appealing to me to go back and redo the architecture instead of moving on to developing less fun ...

Re: Four hours of Love

A couple of questions about general coding style though: what is considered best practice with regard to naming - I rather like camelCase for variables (but can live with underscores), MixedCase for classes (don't know if I would use them in Lua, looks a bit obtuse to what I'm used to!) and UPPERCA...

@Tesselode I imagined someone would comment on the sounds. Even though I thought they were ok, sound effects are probably one of my biggest weaknesses. ^^;
That's OK, sounds are really hard. It's not like I could do better, haha.

Re: Energize! - A Snake Inspired Puzzle Game

Very nice! My only complaint is that the sound effects are a little boring, but other than that, it was a very fun, concise experience! Thanks for posting this.

Re: Tactile - a nice, straightforward input library!

I would have a class/file somewhere that checks and records the input. It doesn't even have to interfere with your gameplay code, you can just access all your controls from wherever you want.
