In the future, please always upload a .love of what you're doing. This makes things much easier for everyone involved. First, you call quartersec:wait() . There quartersec.finished is set to false . Then, quartersec:waitFinished() returns quartersec.finished , which you just established is false . ...

Oh i see. That makes things much clearer. Thanks :D --- Oh, and btw, my wait function is not working entirely as I want it to :( I've done some slight changes to what you gave me, but it still doesn't work right. local time = {} time.__index = time function newWait(seconds) local t = setmetatable({}...

Not sure what you mean by this. Could you give an example? Like even for this function time:update(dt) if self.waiting then self.elapsed = self.elapsed + dt if self.elapsed >= self.total then self.elapsed = 0 self.waiting = false return true -- NOT "return true end", that makes no sense -...

I suggest not trying that example. If you just want to see a game running, I suggest running goature's tutorial game: Tut: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngEAXeoqyMg DL: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1438288/Example_Game15.rar Just extract the rar, zip the contents , rename .zip to .love, and run the file...

Title. Middleware like unity or box2d which make automates and simplifies the entire process drastically.

Or do you encourage developers such as yourself to build their engine and/or tools from the ground up, essentially "reinventing the wheel"?

use AnAL

or anim8

Makes the process much easier. They're easy to understand and use

Thanks so much :D I promise to actually study the language when I finished high school :D So just making this clear, for an IF statement, if the process of its insides results in the condition being contradicted, execution will continue all the way to the end of the IF statement and only then can it...

STATUS: Scrapped. I am trying to make a wait function in an external file that outputs false until the specified time, at which it becomes true. I want it to be easily integrateable to any part of any code. I am almost certain that there is a much, much easier way of doing this but this is what I'v...

By multiplayer, I'm not referring to local multiplayer (e.g. splitscreen), but rather network multiplayer. Is this possible with Love? Has a game been developed using this?

Dunno what the problem is without seeing it, but make you sure you put the lines: map_load() ( or map.load() if you made it into a table) in love.load() which is in your main.lua file map_update(dt) ( or map.update(dt) ) in love.update(dt) map_draw() ( or map.draw() ) in love.draw() and so on for al...
