Re: Closed source love2d games...
Why is this a black-and-white, all-or-nothing issue? It isn't, it's a costs/benefits situation where the costs far outweigh the benefits for any amount of effort you put in DRM except zero (assuming indie game devs). This is what I meant by it being all-or-nothing. Forgive if I’m misunderstanding y...

Re: Closed source love2d games...
Unless you implement some DRM, I don't see how having obfuscated code will prevent someone taking your game and selling it as his own. And even when you do implement DRM, how will that stop someone from taking the cracked version and selling it as his own? Why is this a black-and-white, all-or-noth...

Re: Source code protection
I think that closed source is not a bad thing - it's just unnecessary with games. With games, the worst thing that could happen is somebody tampering with your highscores I politely disagree with you that it’s unnecessary. Not all games need to bother having closed-off source code, but I wouldn’t w...

Re: A community problem in source code protection
LÖVE is for open-source projects only. I was not saying LÖVE is only for open-source projects. I'm not familiar with the concept of writing something yet not writing it at the same time. Please stop omitting the important context of my first quote. I said this: …I am in favor of kikito’s idea of ma...

Re: A community problem in source code protection
LÖVE is for open-source projects only. But it's not. We certainly act like it is though. I’m sorry, I should have made more context more clear. I was not saying LÖVE is only for open-source projects. I was trying to say we should accept the fact we treat it as if that were the case and just admit i...

Re: A community problem in source code protection
Well, non-programmers don't have much use for source code (aside from tinkering and learning.) If you're worried about piracy, it's kind of orthogonal to source code access. I never said anything about piracy. As you say yourself, it’s orthogonal to source code access. My main point, which I didn’t...

Re: A community problem in source code protection
I have no suggestion to add which other members have not already described. But I simply want to point out an obversation that when I see these threads so many people dismiss hiding/obfuscating code because it’s not hard for programmers to get around. But few gamers are programmers, and whenever I s...

Re: Show off clean code examples
I am happy with the cleanliness of this, although some may consider it too verbose, and I couldn't honestly argue against that criticism.

Re: Memory Usage, Cpu Usage?
If you are developing on Linux then you can use the 'top' program.

KiSS Support
Has anyone ever writing a library/API that supports the Kisekai Set System file format, specifical for the general specification and not variants like 'French KiSS'? I was about to begin such a library but wanted to make sure I was not re-inventing the wheel. I didn't find any such projects but stil...
