Hey man, tried putting a random name on each item as it gets called as a new object. (in the class constructor in the equipment files) They all get unique names!

Hey man, firstly I must say thank you for taking time out of your day to help me. The community here seems very friendly and helpful and I really appreciate it. I'm at work at the minute but I'll try and implement your suggestions as soon as I get home. What exactly do you mean about the other argum...

My laptop is missing a power lead before you ask... :P I loaded Raspbian onto the SD card and started compiling the source for Love 2d, After much head scratching I finally found I...
