get set vs properties, whether they are a good idea

I wanted to ask before i go ahead and think about adding properties to me game code is there any explicit reason why love 2d itself does not use properties? is it perhaps because there is no way to reference 'self' without essentially copying curried functions into everything (functions that are emb...

Re: What do you want in an API for adding cloud data storage/achievements/scoreboard/whatever?

Re: LÖVE 11.1 released!

you guys are militant, working with love 2d is like working in a boot camp!

i get it's a philosophical choice, and perhaps even why love 2d is so good, but i haven't been coding love 2d since about december last year, you must admit love 2d certainly has some api cycle

Re: Pinball

thanks for your update, i only just found the post i thought pinball physics was possibly very specialised but this game feels very good with the box 2D physics...something i was very curious about (thinking perhaps you need a custom engine for pinball physics)... thanks for sharing the framework co...

Re: shader that leaves trails behind objects like like lightworld does

well i'm still on it but i was not too concerned at the moment for a moving camera, i figure that'll leave a heady blur i imagine a decision needs to be made if you want the canvas to be larger than the scene, or maybe just sorta attach the blur to the camera so loosing blurs at the sides of the scr...

Re: shader that leaves trails behind objects like like lightworld does

thanks for this info so i have utilised this strategy for some blurring and am looking into possibly more advanced methods can I ask, is there a way to draw this blur we have using the canvas, but having a non blurring background?

Re: check for physics objects in certain area?

in this link it shows we can make a raycast: https://love2d.org/wiki/World:rayCast i was trying to figure if i can cast a circle or square at all like the spherecast in unity? using a sensor adds complications as i have to likely wait for the collision callback... i assume it's not possible then to ...

check for physics objects in certain area?

Hi

Sorry if this is a stupid question, do i have to make like a fixture and make it a sensor?

I want to query what objects are in a certain area, they are physics shapes

Similar to Unity 3D's "sphere cast"

Thanks
