Several answers: Never managed to boot the Eee from a USB stick. I borrowed a USB CD drive, and that worked perfectly. I First installed Ubuntu-eee, which works pretty fine. LÖVE runs, but if I remember correctly, system it is a bit outdated, and doing dist upgrades improves performance (some video ...

Ahoy! If you LÖVE lovers have nothing to do this week end, and want to use your mad Lua skillz against madly skilled coders, be sure to give a try to Ludum Dare: http://www.ludumdare.com/ Solo, 48 hours, from scratch (game logic and assets wise), with the theme voted by contestants. And it's a lot o...

Contests are always nice, I vote yes.

Bragging: On my Mac it's easier to do a Ö or ö because I don't have to remember numbers. Brag brag brag. :P :nyu: Bragging: on my keyboard, ö is a first level key, and Ö is shift + that key. Finnish keyboard FTW! About the continue, a "classic" way to do it in Lua is to wrap the loop code...

Mmm the two cases don't exclude each other. Replace the elseif by another if (and don't forget to close both if's with "end"). It should do the trick.

Heh it's getting pretty cool! I see you restricted to rectilign shapes, it makes it easier (but works better too!)

I love geeky all-nighters, they're the best! Just had one too, but it wasn't LÖVE related. Good luck on the pattern matching!

This is such a cool thing to include in a time limited game dev compo. It seems easy to do and has a huge effect. I'll remember this.
