Why are so many people lately trying to bypass dt? Because I don't want to put "* dt" beside everything. And because variable timesteps makes some things like physics numerically unstable. I've posted the link to this article before , though you're going to have to scroll down a bit. Anyw...

You're missing dt. On purpose. local FPS = 60 local SECONDS_PER_FRAME = 1 / FPS local accumulatedTime ... function love.load() accumulatedTime = 0 ... end local function doUpdate() ... end function love.update(dt) accumulatedTime = accumulatedTime + dt while accumulatedTime >= SECONDS_PER_FRAME do ...

This is what I ended up implementing. It's good enough.

I've removed the map transition crashes by doing it manually instead of using the physics engine.

I've also separated the collision bodies used for actor-terrain collision and actor-actor collision. Tell me how it feels, guys.

So instead of having an emitter in the centre, I could have a ring of emitters around the centre at the desired radius. I guess that could work.

Right now a particle emitter shoots all particles out of its exact coordinate. How would I go about making the particles look like they spawn anywhere within some radius around the coordinate. I'm trying to create some kind of comet effect around a sprite, where there's a halo of particles surroundi...

I added bullets to go mainstream. Still need to work on the bullet particles.

I should have said this earlier: WASD to move, mouse to aim and shoot. P to pause/unpause.

No. It'll be a silent feature that just has you flying through an endlessly wrapping box of space.

I figured this would be relevant to your interests.

No shooting yet though.

I've tried making a .love file again today, and now it works.



The only thing different since yesterday is code for making the mouse cursor change colours.

Check it out here anyway.
