Re: Producing animations from one picture?

You can't draw ImageData directly, you need to create an Image from it first.

That said, you'd be much better served to use Quads to handle your animation.

US Shipping is murder, but these designs are awesome and I want all of them on my body.

Re: MoonScript & love

Oh man, MoonScript looks awesome. I'm definitely gonna be trying this out. And maybe making a Mac build of moonscript-love.

Might I suggest LÜNA for the name of your LÖVE fork?

Re: [OT]Circle rant

A distinction has to be drawn (heh) between a visual circle and a conceptual circle. Sure, in practice you can't draw an actual circle - if you zoom in far enough you can see that it's actually made up of a whole bunch of tiny tiny segments. But the mathematical equation for a circle exists (TechnoC...

Re: Ipairs

Well, let's look at the syntax. for i,v in ipairs(t) do -- ... end i and v are special variables (they can be called anything, but i/v is standard) that ipairs provides you with which refer to an element of the table you're looking through (in this case, t). i is the index of the element, and v is t...

Re: RandomLua Library

Yeah, math.random's results are platform-dependent, even with identical seeds. The distribution is, too - some implementations of math.random() are better at generating a pseudorandom distribution of numbers than others. On the other hand, it is faster than a pure Lua implementation, because the fun...

Re: Eternity

The difference here is the RNG. Lua's math.random uses the underlying system's C rand() function, which is implementation-dependent. As you've seen, Windows 7's version is different from Mac OS X's. Java, on the other hand, uses the same RNG algorithms across all systems, so you get consistent resul...

Re: Mac OS X Lion Feature Support

Honestly there's not a lot of difference. Mac OS X is very smart about what it renders and what it doesn't - when you've got a window in fullscreen The New Way, it stops rendering the stuff behind it and focuses all the GPU's power on the window in front. It's still all hardware-accelerated OpenGL. ...

Re: Mac OS X Lion Feature Support

That'd be me in charge of the Mac builds. The issue is that LÖVE relies on SDL for all its Mac interactions. If they don't add support for this upstream, we're SOL. I believe Lion-related stuff is into SDL 1.3, but who knows when that's coming out? And it's doubtful anything's going to be backported...

Re: Forum's embedded downloads broken (sometimes)

Last year, our forums were attacked by aliens. We survived, thankfully, but they abducted all the attachments in the process. Anything from June of last year or earlier is irrevocably gone. :(

If you want to try PÄSSION, though, you can download it from GitHub.
