Re: Freeing up memory, expected behavior?

Regarding the block class: you are caching too much redundant information, for example: "x, y, z" can be deduced from the block's index/position in the map. and surfaces/normals can be computed on the fly too. Yeh fair points, the classes were just hastely put together with not much thoug...

Re: Freeing up memory, expected behavior?

I just tested some more, and without nilling my terrain pointer, I can stop the game from going haywire by running collectgarbage("collect") manually at the end of load() I kinda wonder now if nilling a pointer automatically calls collectgarbage("collect") on that pointer's data ...

Freeing up memory, expected behavior?

So, I have a little program that generates a Simplex noise based isometric voxel-like 2.5D terrain (with varriable width and height). The program is clearly far from perfect but it's not the main cause of concern. In my main file, I load a new terrainobject and allow scaling/moving through mousewhee...

Re: Hex Engine

Hey Crossing, the hitdetection on your hexes seems a bit off around a few corners, I looked at the code but got terribly confused by the number of vars your using to actually calc it :D I have some 100% accurate hex hit detection if you like (based on the center and outer sphere radius). If need be ...

Re: Abandoned Prototype/Alpha

Tried 1 of the levels, not a big fan of the wave based combat.

Tetris revisited: Petris (v1.2.1 final)

I've been playing around with love2D for a few months now, and as a result I've been mostly coding my own UIManagers, slowly making myself acquainted with lua's implimentation of OO-coding. The last few days I decided to make a tetris clone. It still has a few kinks I'm working out/features I'd like...
