I can’t wrap my head around sorting a table constructed like so: pcs.A = {} pcs.A[1] = { x, y, id } pcs.A[2] = { x, y, id } — values inside those brackets used to place a piece on a map at coordinates pcs.A [1], pcs.A [2]. The sorting function should order pcs.A by comparing distance to some origin ...

Ignore the silly question, I was drawing a test object inside a loop instead of outside it, so it was drawn over 8,000 times. (I’m getting too old for this game.)

Where a quad or image has a high transparency outer glow and may have a drop shadow — rasterized and checked as to their transparency — and is drawn over a background, what is it that could make the alpha portions render as opaque? I’m using a rectangular black stencil: love.graphics.setColor( 0, 0,...

Say you want a game to use resources accessible to a user, such as screenshots, sounds, themes, saved games, etc. Where would you put/create folders for such resources? Seems odd that I have to use the user/library/Application Support, etc., directory, which is otherwise fine for a preference file. ...

BTW, is that Yosemite? What does the

“${0%/*}”

do? Tried it with dragging the app itself and again dragging the love in the Contents of the app — no dice. I’m missing some crucial step. What’s a portable RUN.command file?

Not working here either but thanks. Hmm, maybe I should make love do it…

[quote=“slime”]Do you really need a new window to open?[/quote] Absolutely, I need to see the print results live for debugging. [quote=“slime”]If so you could stick the command in a .sh bash script file. You can also create new tabs and open new windows directly from the Terminal application (and th...

[quote=“slime”]You can just run the love executable in a Terminal window with your game’s filepath as an argument…[/quote] Problem is I get no second window opening with log printed statements — whether the path is to the folder containing main.lua or the parent folder of that folder, either of whic...

For the life of me I can’t get this badly needed method to work. Using the quoted instructions (below) in my main.lua, I get either an “xterm not found” with the first method or nothing with the second. “home/path/to/game” is supposedly the path to the folder where main.lua resides. I drag that fold...

My bad, left over garbage from considering an image-based stencil specified diameter instead of radius. Clips like the devil.
