That's a really good idea. I did not know that this method existed.

After a small test: The code is much cleaner and about 300x faster.

Yeah, sure. The code is not the prettiest nor the fastest, but it is working.

Create a square canvas. For a certain hue draw all saturation (x-axis) and brightness (y-axis) levels with two for-loops. Create another canvas and draw all possible hues (e.g. y-axis). Draw those two canvases to the screen. When the user clicks on the saturation-brightness-square: Choose the color ...

I attached a small example. But as sphyrth sad: This is just one of many solutions.

The basic idea is mostly the same: Save the direction the character is looking in some variable and read it when you draw the image.

I cannot help you with the technical stuff, but I know the trick with the numbers. It is the same trick how one converts binary numbers to decimal numbers and back - just with base 40 and not with base 2. Let say you have three numbers: 0 <= a <= 39, 0 <= b <= 39, 0 <= c <= 39. To convert it into a ...

The problem is that your code will be loaded and executed first and after that love.load() will be called. This means that player in line 15 is not defined yet. Put that piece of code inside love.update().

You could use something like RLua which bind Lua und Ruby together:

RLua is Ruby to Lua bindings library that features nearly complete coverage of Lua C API, seamless translation of Lua and Ruby objects into each other, calling Lua functions from Ruby and vice versa.

It is a really fun game. At first I thought it was too easy, but it gets really hard. The thing I like the most: The reload animation. It is gorgeous. Level 2-7 took really long - I nearly gave up. And then I gave up at level 3-1. I know what I have to do, but it is just too frustrating. I peeked in...

Take a peek at the documentation of 30log:

To include the library you just have to add the following line of code: Have fun

You initialize the snake with one head and four tail elements. All of them in on the same spot. In the first update the head then collides with all four of its tails, triggering the death of the snake with its fourth tail element. You can initialize the snake with 3 tail elements, initialize the sna...
