Is there another one you’d recommend/are using? I think that the mechanism being used to simulate this sort of templating / class inheritance (the __index metamethod from a metatable) is simple enough that you can reimplement it yourself, without the need for an entire library (unless you need the ...

TBH, the way that they create many threads, how they don't use the code tags, plus asking basic questions that hint to a skillset level where they shouldn't be able to write multi-state game code in the first place, makes me think that they did not write this code but got it from somewhere else, lik...

Instead of love.graphics.setColor + love.graphics.rectangle, use a single love.graphics.draw(myImage, ...), with myImage holding the result of love.graphics.newImage() done in the initialization part of your program, outside of any repeating functions. You'd need 2 images for the snake: the head and...

Hm, actually, what I said about "resetting the timer to zero" after the waiting time passes is incorrect . It probably won't make a perceptual difference, but the accurate thing to do is to reset it to "its current value, minus the waiting time", because it might slightly pass th...

Hi, could you please edit your post to put the code between the [code] [/code] tags? This way it preserves the indentation that you were working on, helping people to understand your code more clearly. As for the movement, it happens inside love.update(), right after the "local headX, headY&quo...

A zoom is a scale operation, and if you want to scale something (like a UV coordinate) based on some point other than the origin, then you need to chain the operations carefully so the scale happens relative to that point. So say you have a 2D space, with a point A somewhere and a point B somewhere....

For sure. There are probably a few different ways to do false 3D effects. Here's one, very hastily done: https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=258506#p258506 (Edit: to run it, you download that Parallax_Scrolling.love file, then either drag-and-drop it onto love.exe, or run the command line &quo...

Thanks for the tip!

This is an example of how to use the LuaJIT FFI to bind the (obsolete) GetOpenFileNameW() and GetSaveFileNameW() functions from WIN32 so that you can get native dialogs that properly display content on both ASCII and Unicode encodings. So things like the dialog title and the filename, as well as the...

I posted these two articles in another thread, but the subject was different so I'll repost them here instead of linking there.
