thanks to you all, i got my code to work. Still have 1 question though: If I try to use a function call in my thread file, the function name isnt recognized. local smin = 1 local smax = 1000 channel = love.thread.getChannel("test") for i = smin, smax, 1 do print(i .. " > ALL WORK AND ...

whoa!
i just flipped x and h in my nested for loops and everything works. I was worried that i will have to redo my every single helper function. o.0

crap. you are right. it means i have to write my entire hex code from scratch as all the id generation an such was done for width first loop. Thanks!

Hmmm

I thought i could do it all in the main file only using
thread = love.thread.newThread( codestring )

Can you check my try in the first post please?
If i reuse the same code but put in a different file, will it work?

Or do i remove the function call and have the raw code in the new file?

-------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT: If you are looking for the threads example, i am putting that in this section so you dont have to go through other questions and discussions. Here is my default code. if you run it, you can see how the window is unresponsive for a ...

Ok. this is much faster, for sure, than iterating through my heavy hexgrid object. :D but i am still not able to get a proper image rendering order in grids. I started adding the hex ids to a simple list and used ipairs to run through it. But my output is still skewed. randTiles.png i did what you s...

hmmm....

I wanted to keep all my hex attributes in a single object.

But from a rendering POV your solutions seems the simplest and fastest. Will try it rightaway.
Are there other alternative methods?

Hi [Sorry for the shitty title. Couldn't think of any title.] I am trying to create a simple hex grid using Kenny's hex tiles. For the grid, I need all the tiles to be rendered in proper order: left to right and then the next row. Unfortunately, i am using a hex grid obj insetad of nested for loops ...

taking your advise i changes my noise to : local elv_merged_noise = 1.00 * love.math.noise ( 1 * (dx + seed), 1 * (dy + seed)) + 0.50 * love.math.noise ( 2 * (dx + seed), 2 * (dy + seed)) + 0.25 * love.math.noise ( 4 * (dx + seed), 4 * (dy + seed)) + 0.13 * love.math.noise ( 8 * (dx + seed), 8 * (dy...

very interesting idea. Will try it tomorrow and report back.
Thanks!!
