I've heard of some extensions to the format though that allow subsections. Still no reason to favor it over Lua, especially for strict read-only purposes like reading from the app folder.

I don't agree with ivan's suggestions that INI files have been gone for a long time. They're super useful for changing game settings when you can't do that ingame, due to wrong game settings! And also a bunch of other stuff. They're still used for many commercial games and nearly every game has an ...

This iterates all files in 4 seconds, while the love attempt takes several minutes for 1MB+ files, even without any graphical extras. You must be running this on a potato or you're doing something severely wrong. local start = love.timer.getTime() local lines = {} for i = 1, 600000 do lines[i] = ('...

What do you expect that code to do?

Apple is all about building walled gardens. So you don't consider DirectX a walled garden? That's merely a brick in the wall of the Xbox ecosystem, just like Metal will become one on Apple's devices. There's more to the "walled garden" analogy than the non-availabilty of an open/cross-pla...

Apple making the walls higher around their garden again. Metal is technically much better than OpenGL in all aspects so it has nothing with a "walled garden". It's about performance. They're removing support for a widely used open standard API and replace it with a proprietary one, making...

1.- I'm using the setRepeat function to make an endless animation (see attached sample), but I'm getting a serious flickering I can't seem to fix even with really high msaa values. Is there anything I else I could try to fix it or at least make it much less annoying? Increase anisotropy. love.graph...

So it's basically just the count of each symbol, going from left to right? Do you have some kind of representation of your reels and symbols already? It's certainly doable with loops, it just depends on how your code represents the game elements. You basically loop over the reels from left to right ...
