Not all problems with software should be solved with software.

Re: love.filesystem is a MUST in threads

What I don't understand is why user require paths in threads don't work if love.filesystem is not included.
I "see" how it can be related, but still, it is extremely non-intuitive.

I updated the thread wiki with a new notice.

Re: A Color Replacing Shader?

What I was wondering is if it was possible to set some kind of sentinel rgb value color that I could then replace with the player's corresponding color, significantly cutting down on my art workflow. Yes, Blizzard did exactly this in warcraft 2 for example. They had 4 different shades of grey that ...

Re: Hi, i don't really know how to solve my problem

tile types in your map: [0]walls that are inside/invisible [1]walls visible by player (adjecent to floor tiles) [2]floor tiles To "see" what I mean, turn on alg_3 than instead of this: function tile_alg_3(tile,objects,x_index,y_index) if tile == 1 then do this: function tile_alg_3(tile,obj...

Re: Hi, i don't really know how to solve my problem

I donwloaded the code and took a serious look. ALL your algorithms are correct. Your error is in iteration: for y_index,value in ipairs(map) do for x_index,tile in ipairs(value) do EDIT: to be more precise your tile data is not correct. previous algorithm for detecting which walls are invisible (til...

Re: Server and security

You can't, and it has nothing to do with open-source. Basically you have untrusted clients and encryption does not provide trust, just communication safety. Even Blizzard cannot do this, and they have waaay more resources than you. Unless of course you want to force your users to install "monit...

Re: Hi, i don't really know how to solve my problem

I recommend you make an "overkill" algorithm for this.
You add 4 edge shapes on every wall tile (even inside walls)
And after that a prune algorithm that removes unnecessary edges inside walls.

Sometimes it does not pay to be too smart with algorithms.
