Help with making a class library

I just started getting back into Lua and I decided to try and write my own class library based on ones made by other people (rxi and recursor specifically). So far I have this: local Class = {} Class.__index = Class function Class:new() local obj = setmetatable({}, self) obj['__call'] = self.__call ...

Re: Advantages of using classes over tables for OOP

Advantages of using classes over tables for OOP

I've been using love for a while now, and I've mostly just used tables for everything object-oriented. I started looking at source codes for other love games and I see many people using classes for oop. What are the advantages of using classes over tables? Does it really matter?

How to do a one-off collision?

The door has really simple collision detection where if the player is colliding with it then the collision function returns true.

What's the best way to make boundaries around the screen?

Just a quick question. I have a simple boundary system setup where if the player's x position is higher than 0 he can move left. But the image I'm using for the character is clipping off the screen a bit. I know it's because the x position isn't exact, just wanted to know if there's a better way to ...
