Re: SimpleLamp: a simple utility for building 2d Lighting

Is it possible to make the lighting smooth rather than all blocky and pixelated?

Re: Tile-based map and tile/sprite Z-order

Thanks everyone, that's very useful. I'll see what I can come up with.

It's a shame Tiled doesn't have something like "multi-tile objects" (you can create objects that are made up of one tile, but not objects that are made up of multiple tiles).

Re: Tile-based map and tile/sprite Z-order

Since 2D doe snot have a Z axis, what you can use instead is the Y axis. Sort your on screen objects in order of Y value, and draw them in that order so that objects with a smaller Y value are drawn first, then objects with a larger Y value are drawn on top. That's what I do for the sprites (charac...

Tile-based map and tile/sprite Z-order

Some of the more advanced tile-based games take into account a Z-order when it comes to drawing both tiles and sprites. For example, in the following SNES game, the character is covered by this wooden barrier tile if he walks behind it: https://love2d.org/imgmirrur/0oivSFU.png But he is not covered ...

Re: A Community-Culture Problem With Library Names

Guys, surely we can discuss this without resorting to name-calling (telling people to grow up, calling them unfit to associate with humans, WTF?). Also, ejmr is a LÖVE user like everyone else. He has joined the forum earlier and has more posts than some people in this thread. So I think it's kinda w...

Re: A Community-Culture Problem With Library Names

In my opinion, the single biggest thing that could be done to alleviate this situation would be to remove all innuendo libraries from the "libraries" section of the wiki. I strongly disagree. A lot of those libraries in question are very useful, And making them less accessible/harder to f...

Re: A Community-Culture Problem With Library Names

I 100% agree with ejmr. The arguments against these kinds of names are real. Whereas the arguments in favour of these names boil down to "it's funny". Well, some of the best library names are not sex joke-based at all: anim8, middleclass, Löve Frames, Navi, Vapor, etc. My opinion is that y...
