Re: Question about rendering optimization (via setScissor)

well if it really doesn't matter than there's no point in worrying, tell me how the test goes if you get around to it.

Re: A poll about digital trusting

It's pretty easy to avoid loading a virus, just check the source and determine whether you trust them or not.

Require released games with custom libraries to provide the library source and a md5 hash.

Re: Not Random Random

I don't suppose I have a time machine; I have one. It's buggy and unreliable, but it works. It's called my memory recall. Memory can be sharp enough to take you back to a point in time that you recall every piece of information your body was taking in. Therefore, time-travel, in a sense, does exist...

Question about rendering optimization (via setScissor)

I'm trying to create a development framework (scripting API? lawl) for my game development with love. I'm trying to optimize drawing so that only what needs to be drawn gets drawn. If I have a very large image, say for a background, will doing love.graphics.setScissor(0,0,screenwidth,screenheight) s...

Re: Graphic layers?

I would really like to see this feature in love. However, I believe what you want can be achieved by the screenshot function (love.graphics.screenshot()), however, I'm not sure if you have to resize the window in order to get the correct size, I do know that transparency cannot be achieved with this...

Re: Regular expressions (aka 'patterns') in Lua

Thanks for the reply, I wasn't aware you could group characters with quotes, why isn't this on the lua documentation :ehem:. One thing though, why is the '+' necessary? That means 1 or more repetitions correct? wouldn't we only want one repetition? Edit: Yeah just tested, works nice, only it'll matc...

Regular expressions (aka 'patterns') in Lua

I'm still not sure why lua's definition of regular expressions deviates so far from the standard definition but it does. I have a normal pattern, one that would work with normal regexp such as that in javascript that is supposed to filter a list of file extensions like so: (png|bmp|jpeg|lbm|pcx|pnm|...

Re: Having problems with compiling lua libraries.

You know a lot of libraries can be found in Lua for Windows, already compiled for you? Would save a lot of work. Yeah I've resorted to this, however, there are a lot of libraries on the lua page that come in the same format, which I cannot get to compile either. You sure that went well? It has neve...

Having problems with compiling lua libraries.

I know this may not be entirely related to LOVE, however, I'm trying to import some libraries made for extending lua, many of which can be found here: http://www.keplerproject.org/ Right now, I'm trying to compile the LuaFileSystem module in Visual Studio C++ 2005. I've tried a bunch of modules, inc...
