There may be some robustness issues of course but it should work as
long as the number is not very large or small.

Thanks so much for taking a look.
I know a few people on here have programmed chess in Lua.
So I'm open to suggestions on improving the code
in particular with the '10x12 mailbox' and perhaps even the board representation.
Seems like the 'mailbox' approach is more suited for non-interpreted languages.

Hello, Redsled. I think your question could be rephrased because laying out N number of rooms of predefined sizes in a given area is much more complex than an algorithm that partitions a given area into arbitrary rooms. So I would say, try something that partitions the area without testing for inter...

From what I can see, they are bouncing off each other. However, there's a plethora of things you have to tweak to make it look like 'real' billiards. For the edges of the board, you can place 4 static rectangles on each side or use a "chain" shape. Oh ya, make your billiard balls 'bullets'...

In your code it's so and add dt to:

world.w = love.physics.newWorld(0, 10, true) first two arguments are the gravity vector (0, 10) means vertical gravity of 10m/s^2 in overhead games it should be (0, 0) "ture" as the third argument means, "yes allow inactive bodies to 'sleep' and not be updated" set this to "...

If a particular body isn't moving it could be one of several things: 1.make sure the body type is "dynamic" 2.make sure all fixtures on the body have a density > 0 3.make sure the body's linear/angular damping is in reasonable range. set it 0 for debuging purposes 4.make sure the body is '...

For 45-degrees, you can just rotate the point math.pi/2, no scaling/skewing involved. As I said, there are different types of isometric layouts (diamond, staggered, etc). Generally speaking you could probably get away with something like: screenX, screenY = ... -- get mouse coords -- screen coords t...

I assume you mean converting a point to an index in an 'isometric' projection and vice versa. Interestingly, with a lot of isometric games the tilt angle is 30 degrees not 45. Take a look at the bottom of this page: http://2dengine.com/doc_1_3_10/gs_isometric.html It shows you how to convert the poi...

putting tht it actual blocks. so really, its to have these walls within a grid based 1 & 0 type method. movaeble blocks would be something for the future, but just to start off small im just looking for the player to stop once hitting a wall If you're going for action-based gameplay like in the...
