Bizzare (Bezier) Curves and Pure Maths

Wikipedia Article I see this used in a lot of 2.5D racing games. So how does this work? Is it possible with love.graphics.line() or is there a special function just for this? I've learned about the equation of a curve in pure maths before and stuff like points of inflection and sketching functions....

Re: Isometric game collision

I have the same problems so... NECROPOST You can use polygons for isometric projection like this. All you need is to draw the top diamond, left diamond and right diamond. Isometric_collision.zip Later on if you used polygons, you can work with polygon mesh and create textures like in Minecraft. Its ...

Re: Multiple OR Booleans Issue

Wow. I actually made something like what I was planning on years ago. With functions to create the map and collision and even a basic map editor. (right click to place a tile, left click to remove a tile) Its like I'm getting much worse in general logic skills and intelligence ever since I got a job...

[SOLVED] Multiple OR Booleans Issue

When I run a loop, return breaks the loop. What if I want to loop through multiple "or" returns? Lua 5.1.4 Copyright (C) 1994-2008 Lua.org, PUC-Rio > t = {1,0,0,0} > for i = 1, #t do >> print(t[i]) >> end 1 0 0 0 > t = { >> {0,0,1}, >> {0,0,0} >> } > for i = 1, #t do >> for j = 1, #t[i] do...

Re: Teaching LÖVE

I guess your theme could be summer? or the woods/ great outdoors. It would be cool if you taught them about textures, theres lots of stuff you can sample from outside. I remember learning love2d and lua by making a PONG game from complete scratch. I learned about AI, Player Control and Objects. I al...

Re: How to make actual games

one word: modular programming. I've seen a lot of code for complex games made in Lua, they all have this in common. require "script" Also Object Oriented Programming makes everything a lot shorter to code. You then have script objects for example player.lua, enemy.lua, boss.lua, mydog.lua ...

Re: Information on the game industry

I can't even begin to imagine the horror! (@_@) There is no way out, you will begin to have nightmares and slowly lose your mind!!! You learn to hate every game you test (with some small exceptions). You go to sleep thinking about them, wake up thinking about them and even dream about them. Hours sp...
