How do I use stencil?

I'm trying to use stencils to make it so when a certain object spawns in my game, it can only be drawn on tiles from Tiled, and not on the background. I've looked at the wiki but trying to implement it gives me a headache :/ The wiki shows it all in one file, main.lua, but my stuff is spread out, al...

Re: Moving point in a circle?

That should work. Can you post what you have attempted? Of course, in Lua, math should be lowercase but I guess you know that. I ended up getting some help from someone, but ill post the code that works just in case someone needs something similar function love.load() startX = love.graphics.getWidt...

Moving point in a circle?

I'm using love.graphics.polygon to make a triangle, and I'm trying to move the last x and y coordinates change slowly, in a circular motion, so that the triangle kinda represents a shadow as the sun moves about its cycle. However, I can't figure out how to do this, I found a thread for a different p...

Hiring a teacher?

Would anyone be interested? I've been to busy lately to learn just by myself, and most tutorials are outdated or unfinished, so I figured this would be my best bet since the only free time I have is from about 10 am to 4 pm pst on Saturday and Sunday, since I work too much during the week. Send me a...

Re: Help with platformer

In that case, make sure isFalling value does not bounce around, and make sure that the character only jumps when the JUMP key is pressed, rather than checking if he's falling to modify his Y speed. I'm not looking into code right now since it's damn late here , but if you keep on having problems i'...

Re: Help with platformer

I have no experience in platformer games, but i recommend you to keep your code commented. It makes others lives much easier since they'll know what a specific session does. I messed a bit with your code. Sometimes pressing D and A often makes your character jump, for some reason. Printing the valu...

Help with platformer

So I'm working on some platform collisions, and I have the collision for the top of the platform down, but the way I have it, when my player collides with the side, he just pops back up to the top. I know I had a fix for this a little while back, but I've completely forgotten it :/ can someone offer...

Snake game movement, what's a better way?

I'm trying to make snake, I started with making the movement the way I remember snake being, and I achieved it, but I feel like there's a better way to do it, how would you do this? snake = { x = 2, y = 2, l = 1, --length d = 0, --direction alive = true, spd = 0.5 --speed } now = love.timer.getTime(...
