Re: Share a Shader!

While I'm here... I want to do a 360 ° view using a panorama image. To fake a perspective I want to use a inverted fisheye effect. The goal is a game like Myst with 360 ° environment. Or is there a better way to fake some kind of perspective? http://99.30.162.147/static/code/fisheye.love Is this wh...

Re: Po2 Problem

I know that older computers cannot handle non po2 pictures (2*2, 4*4, 32*32, etc.), but I have two questions: Can the images be, say, 32*64? And can they support drawing other things in non po2 ways (like love.graphics.rectangle)? What is the performance like with those? 32x64 should always be doab...

Re: Chip8 emulator

I rememer having tried once a Chip8 emulator too, and I just messed it up for some reason, and never got back to that. Anyway, you did a pretty good job on this. Excellent. Thanks! There are so many stupid things that can go wrong, one undocumented bit (like the fact that sprites wrap across the sc...

Re: Linux talk

You should probably leave the bootloader on your primary drive, in this case your SSD. Otherwise, in order to boot into Ubuntu, you'll need to tell your BIOS to use your HDD as the first boot device. Grub is fantastic these days for booting multiple OS, including any variant of Windows, so you shou...
