Thanks for your suggestions, I will be staying with scaled up overlapping polygons for now.

Meshes seem to be unnecessary complicated for my use - I am neither using images, nor canvas. I am working with 2D, not 3D. I am drawing polygons directly and using physics functions. I can simulate gradients via repeated drawing of multiplied polygons, but I will have to benchmark performance here ...

Hi, I have searched forums extensively as well as Stack Overflow to find out how to approach gradient drawing. I mostly need it for polygons at the moment, but I am sure it would be useful to have it for any shape. I know there was a discussion regarding this and the best method so far is to use a 1...

Some other languages such as R have libraries supporting this. AFAIK there is nothing for LOVE / Lua, so in the meantime you can read on how such algorithm works and you can potentially program it yourself: https://blog.mapbox.com/a-new-algorithm-for-finding-a-visual-center-of-a-polygon-7c77e6492fbc...

Splash - maybe the most important ones and allow skipping (or show only on first launch), otherwise it might be annoying to your users

Also, instead of division by 255 you can use

Good job! The maze creator works well and is something to look at.

Well top-down game with tiles can still use polygons for other stuff. But fair enough. If it is just blocks than basic AABB collision checking will work.

I second what Azzla said. Love physic module is recommended or use some helpers like Bump or HC, if you must.

It seems that library is highly outdated.

Use Lua CURL or something similar.
