Re: Reduce animation choppiness
The main game is now 15MB because of the sprites and music, so here is just one sprite animating. Perhaps the delay could be better optimized, but I think it gets the idea across.

Reduce animation choppiness
I'm making a fighting game similar to Mortal Kombat (1992) and as such I used stop-motion photography for the sprites. Unfortunately, some of the sprites don't have enough frames and look choppy while animating - changing the delay helps, but it's not enough. I know this isn't the fault of either LO...

Should I wait for the next version?
Given that it has been almost a year since the last release I'm guessing that a new release is imminent and that after a year of development there will be lots of (breaking) changes. Will the next version be released soon enough (say a few weeks) that I should hold off or should I just get started? ...

Re: Programming High?
I had a friend who I used to play chess with frequently - he is also an extreme pothead (is that word still cool?). If he played sober there was a chance I would lose. However, he insisted that getting high (marijuana) improved his game. I'm not sure why he thought that since he lost every game he p...

Re: Keeping track of time
Consider this one solved. I started tracking the amount of time spent paused then added that value to the time until the next wave to compensate.

Keeping track of time
I'd like each enemy wave to appear after a certain amount of time has passed. I'd also like to be able to pause the game. However, the time between each wave is based on a getTime() value calculated when the level is loaded. If the game has been paused long enough by the time I resume and call getTi...

Re: I don't understand love.load
Okay, I thought assets had be loaded in love.load. I didn't realize - despite looking right at the code :oops: - that assets can me loaded at any point. Thank you, sometimes it just takes an explanation. This helps a lot. Each time I call love.load the screen disappears for a moment which I really d...

I don't understand love.load
load.load gets "called exactly once at the beginning of the game." How are the game assets loaded afterwards? I've been looking at the code from "Dave Gone Apeshit" and it doesn't call love.load after state changes. Main ... state = menu ... function love.load() ... if state.load...
