LÖVE is a tool to make game development easier. It's not a sandbox or modding environment like WoW's Lua API, where they're restricting access in order to prevent people from doing unintended things to their game. When we restrict access to LÖVE features from ourselves, we're just shooting ourselves...

I compiled an Intel OSX LuaJIT build, for those interested: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4214717/SELoveJIT.zip

As long as each dimension of the image is a power of 2, it shouldn't matter whether it's square or not. An interesting thing to note is that most of the FPS loss for people is probably because there are so many Lua calculations, rather than a graphics issue. I ran it (without vsync) with regular LÖV...

Nothing should explode in your face, however it's generally good practice to only have drawing-related code being called in love.draw, with everything else going in love.update or similar places.

I don't think anyone is debating whether it's a good idea to make things hard for malicious attackers. What isn't a good idea is restricting legitimate features for all of us based on that fear. If someone feels the need to use SELÖVE, that's fine, but don't make the rest of us suffer.

So if you need to block it, just do it in your game, but please do not do it for the whole platform. ... That makes no sense. How is it any safer to politely ask an attacker to disable it? Isn't the best solution to have the user not be an idiot and only run applications they trust? I really see it...

boolean is (probably) a nil value. string is a table. type(val) returns a string with the type name, therefore you need to compare it to another string:

I envy your game's performance. I get 400+ FPS ingame in Kerosuke, and much less in most other löve games.
I think most of that has to do with your general lack of HUD text or particle systems. Both of those bring my FPS down pretty hard.

Speaking as a Mac user, Savage 1 and 2 are both awesome. S2Mercenary would approve. :p
