Nice work Robin!

Perhaps you should try some diagramming software for the drawings

Also, I think your deep copy diagram is wrong...

Sometimes I listen to music, but mostly I pump clenched fists angrily and curse my computer, the language, my own silliness, etc.

Copying is complicated. The question of expected behavior becomes thorny. See discussions about deep vs. shallow copies and copy contructors (in c++). In many (most?) programming languages, non-primitive variables are just pointers to some memory, which may contain pointers to some more memory, and ...

Hey, thanks verilog and Bobbias!

I also found some good information in this discussion.

I guess my keyboard is just cheap as hell. Time to get a better one.

See this tool as well as the ParticleSystem and love.mouse documentation.

Also, you may want to read this.

I can confirm that. If I press up+down+left, it does not move. As raidho said, it probably a hardware problem. At least the code is correct. You can check if this correct by letting the progam output which buttons are pressed: if love.keyboard.isDown('up') then love.graphics.print('Up-key is presse...

First off, why would you hold up and down, those are mutually exclusive controls. Second, is your keyboard is ps/2, or is it USB? Because it might simply have buffer overflow when you press too many characters simultaneously (how many exactly depends on particular key combo). Because I didn't had a...

Hm, very clever. Thanks :D However, it doesn't solve the issue, which is that somehow, under certain conditions, dx and dy are not being updated appropriately. As I said before. "For example, if I hold up and down then press right I move right, as expected; but if I press left I don't move left...

So I was doing some of the tutorials from the wiki, and when I got to the hamster ball and efficient tile-based scrolling , I noticed the diagonal movement was too fast. Here's what I added to the hamster ball tutorial as an attempted fix: function love.update(dt) dx, dy = 0, 0 if love.keyboard.isDo...

Here is the intro to source reliability for wikipedia. I've done some work on wikipedia in the past, and this source issue has always been the biggest challenge. Basically, other people (not associated with löve) need to write about it and get published in well respected (known not to publish crap /...
