I do something like this for all of my interactive things, it may give you ideas or not. I've just made this example up (I don't have bullets in my own game): local TABL_BULLET = {} local rollingBulletCount = 0 local minRollingBulletCount = 1 function resetGame() TABL_BULLET = {} rollingBulletCount ...

I liked the random(?) upgrades at the end of a wave; the enemies upgrading was also a nice touch. From a technical point the pathing and collision seems to work really well, did you write that or learn and incorporate another library? I kinda like the minimalist tron like aesthetic, this should be f...

Off the top of your head, how would you answer these questions? What are the advantages of OOP over procedural programming? Disadvantages? Advantages are (theoretically) reusable code (i.e. less repetition enabled by extension of base classes), clarity of what data your functions are designed to wo...

What is DW? A 2.5D role playing game with some randomised content and map generation and quests (similar to Diablo 1). The focus is combat, with a semi-forced movement towards the finale events on the 'zone map', and re-playability. What are my major influences for this game? Fallout 1 and 2 by far...

Yes, LÖVE 0.10.1 uses LuaJIT. ... I changed the assignment to prevent LuaJIT from realizing that the value is not used, and discard the whole operation. Making the result visible from outside the function should stop that. Thanks for that, it's very interesting indeed -- maybe I'll run it several t...

I'm pretty sure that's the case for Lua, but are you sure it holds for LuaJIT? . Does love 0.10.1 use LuaJit? I just use love 0.10.1 out of the box with no changes; if so here is my benchmark: DATA: local TABL_TEST = { } for i = 1, 10000 do TABL_TEST[i] = { math.random(), math.random(), math.random...

I have done something similar as I am sure many others have, I don't see how it could be a problem! I think however that in terms of execution you will get a pretty large performance increase if you create a local var of your indexed list: function love.draw() for count = 1, table.getn(list),1 do lo...

Notepad++ (on a windows machine). Just make a nice organised src dir and open up the files in npp, that's all I need. Npp remembers the window and opened files when you close it, and you can also save the set-up as a workflow/project type thing. I tried ZeroBrane, Lua Development Tools (an eclipse s...

Now I have named my game 'Wish Upon a Dark Star'. I've been playing with lighting, something I've put off for a while now, here is an example at night time (00:00) with fire.

I'm thinking it needs a little something more but not sure.

We don't take ourselves too seriously, mate, so nothing to worry about.

Good to hear it
