Re: Sandboxing (poll)
I guess a decent compromise would be to have something in conf.lua that sets variables if it will need "sandboxed" privileges later, and LOVE can present a dialog box before starting the file or whatever. Combined with saving the result somewhere it should be sufficiently out-of-the-way en...

Re: Sandboxing (poll)
I say no. It's nice to see that the debate is fairly even, though. Among other reasons, I sometimes use LOVE for things that aren't games. It's a very simple interface to graphics, sound, and similar libraries without having to do a lot of work. All of this prompting/requesting/acknowledging crap ha...

Re: Underlife (WIP)
You could pull a Tetrisphere and just handle wrapping around, but then it wouldn't really be "endless".
(Tetrisphere, for those not in the know, presented a game grid as a sphere but it was actually just a portion of a square playfield mapped onto it.)

Re: Underlife (WIP)
I like the spacey blue rune stuff more than a cavern. The fact that there's an empty nothingness out in the void helps, too. If you wanted to really throw people for a loop, you could keep player-edited chunks in memory when they were scrolled offscreen and corrupt them, or (my favorite) occasionall...

Re: lag spikes
This is not only a really really bad idea, but it won't fix it, either.thitem wrote:Try set high priority for game application through the task manager.
It's a vsync issue. Just disable vsync and apply some common sense dt checks and you're good.

Re: Tile based scrolling
Then why don't you change the player position? That is much less work for the computer than updating every enemy, just when the player moves. Yea that distance code makes more sense now, Though I still don't understand what you mean about changing the player position. If I change the player positio...

Re: My own action adventure engine
The solution to that physics problem is running physics multiple times in smaller timesteps, not not using dt. The problem is, let's say Physics is taking too long. Your game misses a frame update; easy enough, run Physics twice to catch up (since high dt = major errors or crashes). But uh oh, you ...

Re: LÖVE 0.7.0 Game Slave released
Bleh, still has the same weird jittery framerate issue. I hate my video card.
Good to see it's released, though it would've been nice to have some demos of the new features.

Re: LÖVElike - A Roguelike Engine (aka "Barrelike") - CLOSED
Did you give up because of that one comment? Not at all. I know that reason is on my side and even have years of standing against internet "trolls" if needed (hey, not saying that Lap is one). But his words made rethink that even doing this for fun I should focus instead time in another &...

Re: Little Games
I got to the +-shaped stage and gave up. Damn, that was frustrating.
