Hey guys I've been in a daydreaming mode and thought of some interesting things about video games and astrology ... since this is a video game site we won't talk much about the astrology part... but anyway. I have a great idea to break into the video game industry in yes... CANADA! Why not right? th...

O.K I have managed to modify the code so that the coins are placed randomly within the object space and this is working fine... for i, obj in pairs( map("Points").objects ) do math.randomseed(os.time()) numCoins = 100 coins = {} for i = 1, numCoins do local coinCollides = true while coinCo...

Hi, I want to place coins in specific areas in my map. right now this code places them in random areas in the map, checks if it is colliding with a tile and if this is true then it sets a new placement for x and y for the coins. (Note: this is Exploding Rabbits code but I understand how it works... ...

Thanks SneakySnake...

(since I can't give you "karma" hope "nes-peace" is good enough!)

I could be wrong but I think play testers get paid pretty well and their is tons of demand as well as job security.

This is what I learned from the video Kikito posted: Don't get a job working for someone else and forget the money. i.e do what you would do if money was no object... Thats absolutely true but it takes a lot of faith. While your younger you have an advantage, you still have parents to help support y...

I tried this code to print the name of my objects. -- Iterating over all objects in a layer --object layer is named "Points" for i, obj in pairs( map("Points").objects ) do love.graphics.print( "Hi, my name is " .. obj.name ) end But I get an error stating that... Attem...

Hi guys, I'm doing a major in computer science and I've been learning some interesting stuff. For example: transitive gates - where you have (a,b) (b,c) which implies that a can go to c (a,c) recursion - you have a program that runs itself within itself until it reaches some answer/logic to stop. So...

I'm now on mac osx and I downloaded Love 0.9 for Mac however it tells me that it can not open the application because it is from an unknown developer/source. What should I do?

I learned from while writing the code was to separate your velocity vector into scalars, and apply them separately. Thanks for the tip Inny, I have my x and y velocity separate now and it works well. Personally for anything tile-based I avoid using dt or I math.floor the final number to keep things...
