Re: Garbage collector stops the game[or probably disk access]
... Also that all is a bad sign for estimates. If improving small part of functionality from 'awful' to 'bad' takes 20 days, how many forevers it will take to improve it from 'bad' to 'playable'? I still insist on bad/broken code like doing way to many load/save calls (possibly saving/loading every...

Re: Love2D freezing on shutdown
Yes I am changing my library now; I actually already did it a few days ago, I just wanted to know for the future. I now begun another game which does not use Box2D (it uses practically nothing actually) and still, as soon as I add world:generate() to my love.load(), love will afterwards take ages/f...

Re: Trouble figuring out collisions for array-based maps
Thanks for the reply! I'm looking at the source for your example right now. I had a question about if I wanted to add actual bullet physics. Would I use something similar to map:getTile to handle bullet ricochet, impact, etc, or would I be better off using a dedicated library? Not sure what you mea...

Re: Trouble figuring out collisions for array-based maps
Welcome to the forums! If you stick to grid-based movement then it's less like having collisions - its more like having movement restrictions. You can check if the target position can be entered (no tile or not walkable) and if so, move the player there. That's it. -- ... function player:move(dx, dy...

Re: Are there any ways to make openworld?
The most obvious answer is - use chunks. Creating a chunk system is more of an advanced task and requires quite a lot of work before getting useful results. You need to know what genre you want (Platformer, Top-Down, Isometric) and if you want procedural generated chunks or handcrafted ones (or a mi...

Re: Enemies, obstacle's, power ups, life's and health bar (help)
You just iterate through the second object layer. Add another loop to iterate through all layers and to update and draw your objects. Some more things I noticed: You don't indent your code. Proper line indention would make your code much more readable and easier to debug. love.graphics.draw(player.i...

Re: Enemies, obstacle's, power ups, life's and health bar (help)
Killing an actor There are many ways to "kill" an actor in a game. One would be to set the x and y position outside the visible screen area and reuse the table (and reset x,y) if the actor is alive again. Another and imho better solution would be to add an instance of an actor to a separa...
