Re: MeowUI the rebirth of Catui

Screenshots pls. Put some on Github. It make sense for UI libraries to provide overview of their elements and overall look. How do I decide on usage otherwise? Perhaps i did not make it clear but the goal of this library is to provide the core components that enable you to create your OWN controls....

MeowUI the rebirth of Catui

I am one of the few who stopped using Lua and fully switched to Moonscript (Don't ask me why), but still i had to use Lua after all since all the libraries are written with it. So i got bored one day and i decided to rewrite all the libraries i love and give them a what i call "Moon twist"...

Re: Looking for advice

My advice which I read about in a book about game programming is to never reinvent the wheel(i.e. Don't waste time making tools that are already made and just focus on your game). Luckily there are alot of tools for love2d, such as bump, stalker-X, rotLove, jumper, etc. For more libraries just go t...

Re: How can i install and old version in linux

Compiling it yourself is the best option. I have compiled all versions from 0.1.1a to 11.3. Some very old versions require modifying the source slightly because of a change in an integer type of the DevIL library. You don't even need to install it. Just compile it as static by configuring with ./co...

Re: Looking for advice

My advice would be to not upfront pick OOP or ECS, both have their advantages for specific cases but none of them are necessary at all. Lua is a prototype based language meaning you dont need all the OOP jazz at all, and when you arent developing a RPG with countless enemy types and effects i perso...

Re: Looking for advice

I wanna start the discussion (because I naturally want someone to disagree with this). If you're new to programming in general, OOP it's intuitive. If you're quite advanced, ECS is a good option since we're in a generation that says "OOP is Dead". Hello i appreciate your response :), i am...

Re: Looking for advice

My advice is to not listen to any advice. :) (Seriously though, everyone's got their own programming style and there's no right or wrong. While one "practice" works well for some, it doesn't work well for others. My actual advice is to look for your own style by doing programming instead ...
