STI should really be kept simple and adding a lighting feature that a majority of tiled users won't even use is senseless. You can either add lighting by using shaders or drawing transparent black boxes over the tiles. There is no reason to bloat Tiled with something you can do yourself. As well as ...

Haven't tried myself, but it seems with SpriteBatch:setColor you can assign a color to each quad in the batch. First call setColor and after that use "set" on a quad. If I understand the wiki correctly, then this should also change the color. That's the exact thing I posted and Karai answ...

I don't think your state handling is quite proper. Each individual component class should not have to include the state checking code in them. The state machine should decide whether or not to render something or give it input. You also shouldn't be handling overflow with stencils, but with scissors...

What about this function?

The lighting thing should really be handled by shaders though.

"_R" was definitely on purpose and is used for hot-swapping classes, if anyone wants to implement something like that.

"class", however, isn't meant to be global. Good catch

Sunclass Yet another class library for Lua. It came about when I was writing a hot-swappable LÖVE engine and middleclass just wasn't working for me. I ported the class engine from SunScript over to native Lua. Mixins / Multiple Inheritance Invoking superclass methods Simple, intuitive, easy to use ...

Everyone's suggesting you to do OOP in Lua all from scratch, which is not a very easy way to learn it. I really suggest you use some third party library like middleclass. Every person that I show Lua to, I always point to middleclass, and in just about 3 hours they get their first game up and runnin...

I have been struggling on this for a while and wonder if anyone here has come up with a good way of detecting whether or not the player is grounded (aka not in the air). I got it too almost work using the beginContact and endContact callback. The problem with this method was that it would also thin...

Wow, this forum is just full of ... I used it for the static tiles for my maps in these games: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY_7UX85MnI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS2cUu94l3Q It really fixes problems with ghost vertices and optimizes the tiles. I had to modify it slightly for it to handle slop...

I keep a list of all contact points and whenever I need to check if the player is on the floor, I go through the list of contact points and see if any of them are below my origin +/- 10 depending on the shape of the player. Though the shape of my player is a square with a half-circle on the bottom, ...
