Re: Loading external data into a function locally.

Yeah. The first time you declare variables that are local to the file you have created. The second time you create variables that are local to the new function, which point to the same stuff. It's kinda the same as doing this, where you'd also need to make them local twice: function pretend_this_is_...

Re: Feedback request: working on a rendering library

Hm. Am I using the wrong word? It's not really meant as a traditional GUI system, although maybe that would still be a better term for it. I'm just building it to draw stuff on the screen. The core isn't going to include traditional GUI elements like input fields and sliders, nor will it have things...

Re: Bullet's speed mysteriously dependant on amount of bullets?

What's that "wait(0.2)" function?

And can you include a full .love? That's a lot easier to debug.

Re: Best practice for destroying enemies in array

Note that if you want to remove items in a loop, you have to loop backwards , because table.remove will update the indexes and mess everything up. A common example of removing entities is to flag entities that need to be cleaned/removed from whatever code you have, and then run over all entities in ...

Re: Ultra Rainbow Bake Sale: singleplayer, deck-building, baking

Finally managed to bake both batches :D The tips help, but I think you could do with a few more. Primarily, it wasn't until very late that I figured out that Morgan and Alex's secret abilities can be played for bonuses, and I still don't understand what the numbers behind their names are for or how ...

I agree with zorg that it's hard to move the crows properly, but I love the idea. Really nice little game :)

Re: [Networking] Server Connecting

"localhost" just means "connect over the network to this same machine". The only thing you need to change to make it connect to some other machine, is replacing the "localhost" with the IP address of whatever other machine you're connecting to. The reason tutorials use ...

Re: How do I make the background always be in front of the player?

So I'm making a top down game with a background that scrolls when the player is moving but usuallly the player goes to fast and he goes off screen. How do I stop this? This is my code:
Two very straight-forward solutions seem to be:
A) make the player slower
B) make the background faster

Feedback request: working on a rendering library

Hi guys. I'm working on a library for rendering stuff to the screen. It's still in development and I wouldn't say it's usable yet. There are still some errors and quirks I need to fix and some behavior I need to implement. However, it's far enough done that I can use it to make some samples, so I ma...
