Probably too early, given that the game has no items to pick up and use yet - but I felt inspired to make a inventory UI screen. It will be needed anyways. Right now I think I should keep things simple and 5 inventory slots will be fine. Must see if that assumption holds. Adding two more is easy wit...

Very nice!

Took a while to get back to coding, but the projectiles now actually can hit something. And my explosion animations from last summer finally came to use in one of my projects. hEHjPvNfN_0 Everything has one hitpoint, except the player who is immortal for the moment. The player has a sort of spectre ...

Scite.

Not much new to report, I've been very busy with other things. But I managed to import some of my wall graphics and create a sort of ruined house on this one map.

Well, the point is to learn how this is done and then do it on my own. While it is insightful to read how professionals work here, I think I'll need to take a step back and find something that I can safely do at home. Actually I had some success with synthesis, using noise, envelopes and frequency f...

A solution that I used in Java (which does not allow modification of a collection during iteration) was to add the expired objects to a second table and then after the iteration remove the ones found in the "expired objects" table from the main table. But I must admit, I do not know if Lua...

Another small step completed. Players now start in a lobby area and can now move from one map to another. This still has to be tested in the multiplayer version.

Artillery duel. Vortices vs. player.
Needs better explosion graphics. Bang!

Love2d also gives you tires and gears ... but you'll find yourself in between lotsa car parts which you still need to put together. It's all there though. And definitely way easier to use than through Java.
