Yea, spritebatches fixed the problem. I'm wondering if anyone knows how to only display the map? Display nothing else, like a black background when you get to the edge of map for example? The adventure game did this perfectly but he/she used .map which seems to be from a custom editor I think his/he...

Nope.

Thanks man, but love2D seems to be a bit slow when the map is 2560X1600 in pixels.
192GB ram
12 core intel cpu(s)
12TB hdd
amd radeon 6970 2Gb GDDR5

I basically just swapped maps with the desert_example.

Right now I'm just trying to get my tiles to animate but before I can do that my map has to load and well.. it's only showing 64X63, it's the exact same size as the desert_example map.

I'm currently using the advanced map loader which allows me to view my maps in love2d, what I'm wondering is how would I switch out a tile to animate it? Like tile 1 with tile 3 ever 2 seconds? Anyone have any idea, still new to lua. http://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2567&start=20

I'd first try and prototype a game, if you're thinking of a zelda based game just go with the zelda formula and you can find zelda sprites and tiles everywhere.. Think of a game type first as do you want something like mario or something fast paced like sonic, it's like with a-rpgs do you want somet...

The engine is ok for big projects. It has some sore points right now (slow font rendering, issues with non-ogg sound file formats), but they are being ironed out. Some people don't like the fact that the file format isn't encrypted, so it is (relatively) easy to get the original source code and/or ...
