Earth still rotating the wrong direction.
Not very realistic, is it?! I've updated the github repository so it rotates correctly. Thanks!

Re: How to render realistic planets in love2d

Thanks! It's a very simple shader so I imagine very little. It creates a matrix in runtime instead of using one through a uniform, so that can be optimized. Your suggestion led me to cache the atmosphere in the canvas to greatly improve performance - it was capped at 30 fps for 12 planets with highd...

How to render realistic planets in love2d

I stumbled across a Russian article on how to render realistic 2D planets (https://habrahabr.ru/post/248381/). I couldn't find an english version of th...

Time Travelling Debugger.

I saw Elm's time travelling debugger http://debug.elm-lang.org/edit/Mario.elm , and wondered if it's possible to build it for Lua & Love2D. So I built a prototype. https://github.com/meric/l2l/blob/master/samples/sample09 You can edit the game's code (in mario.lua) while the game is running, and...

Re: How to draw this contrail?

In the game, the angle of the contrail follows that of the spaceship. You could almost use a static image to model it, except it is constantly in flux, in a constant state of motion. Just like Uradamus' demo. Here is my take on that particle effect. I am using two particle systems, one in the backgr...

How to draw this contrail?

I saw this cool spaceship-engine-contrail effect in a game called "starsector". Screen Shot 2014-04-15 at 12.53.13 am.png I was trying to recreate it in love2d but am quite far from it: Screen Shot 2014-04-15 at 12.59.40 am.png How would I do something like the first screenshot? :brows: Th...

Re: GÖÖEY (WIP)

I've got a complete textfield here.

http://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2574

See your URL bar textfield? Works the same, with mouse highlight, etc.

Use it, and save some effort. Oh and there's checkboxes and buttons and frames in there too. :)

Re: I need a collaborator (or two) for a professional projec

This sounds like a good challenge and I'd be interested in working on it - if you think I'm up to it. I know the in and outs of lua and I (only) made http://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2574 and http://textbookcentral.com.au/ . (python/django) You can also look at more of my code here: ...
