I started a project in 0.8, then ported it to 0.9, and now again to 0.10. It's not really that bad of a process (I think 0.8 to 0.9 was worse, but 0.9 to 0.10 was a breeze). The only really annoying part is if libraries you're using break, but even a lot of the libraries posted here are pure lua, so...

If you know it's always going to be 8x8, you can keep it pretty simple:

Code: Select all

level.complete = true
for i = 1,8,1 do
 if not level.rComplete[i] or not level.cComplete[i] then
  level.complete = false
  break
 end
end

The Mac link is still wrong, it's now linking to a demo of a game called Bemuse.

Crossposted from weirdfellows.com Putting Possession 2 up on Greenlight was a bit nerve-wracking. It's the first time that the game was going to be exposed to the general public. Luckily, comments seem to be mostly positive (at least the ones I could understand), and the negatives have mainly focus...

Other options are available depending on the game, too. If it's tile-based, you can just draw the tiles outside the light darker (or not at all, if you want complete darkness).

Another advantage is that most state managers let you draw multiple states at the same time (eg drawing a pause menu while still displaying the game screen).

I think there's really two issues here that you're concerned with. The first is the unused space, and I don't think that's really something to worry about, as long as the levels feel big enough. The player isn't going to know there's a huge unused section of the map, as long as the used section of t...

So I checked how long it was taking to actually run each creature's turn, and it's really not that slow. (An easy way to check how fast things run is to get os.clock() before you run a section of code, then at the end print(os.clock - oldclock) ) I think what's slowing it down is the fact that it on...

For OS X (and probably Linux too), you'd probably have to make the app actually run a shell script that calls LÖVE with the parameters.
I think for Windows you can do that with a batch (.bat) file. (Not sure, someone correct me if I'm wrong).

This is great! I've seen tools that lets you colorblind-test a static image, but not as the game plays. Thanks for sharing!
