Besides what has been said, the whole OS-dependent stuff is completely not needed considering that love.filesystem.getInfo can return the last modified time, so if you just query that in love.update for instance, and compare it to saved values for whatever files you want to detect, then at least th...

Sounds to me like you're not looking to run a server on localhost so much as you want to hot-reload your game's code and assets. It's possible, but I wouldn't say it's terribly simple. You need a system in your game's code that can respond to filesystem changes and reload the appropriate code or ass...

It’s been awhile since I did one of these, as you might guess from the intervening posts a lot of other things have been keeping me busy as my wrists continue to heal. Regardless of that, I have been making progress on the game. Let’s take a look! (Apologies in advance, this one's just a big wall of...

Ah, the beautiful forests of Spikeland...

The video only has ~5s of footage and the linktree doesn't seem to have anything related to it either, unless I missed something? It mostly seems like an ad for your...

Thank you for the kind words! People really like the legs-man, I've had folks in other places make jokes about him... I may have to leave a copy of him in a dev room or something :rofl: I must admit I haven't made much progress lately though, as my health improves further I finally have to catch up ...

Flamebait my ass, he asked for opinion, no? And my opinion is that you should not waste your time trying to make code running that should not be in you game at the first place. The opinion that OOP is a bad approach here (and in most contexts outside of massive corporate monoliths) is fine! The pro...

You know, don't think I've ever made a Pong... I'm more of a breakout guy when it comes to trying out game tech.
