Re: Iteration

Your problem is that you keep referring to "enemy", which is one specific enemy in the table. When you iterate, you should be looking only at "v", which means "the thing I'm iterating on right now".

Re: local vars to eliminate indexing - why do lovers do that

It will be because one or more of the following: One of your algoritms is not smart enough. One of your algorithms is trying to solve a problem that is too difficult. You have too much data that needs to be processed. Your hardware is simply not fast enough. You're repeating something slow every fr...

Re: How can I get the coordinates of an Image?

Images don't have coordinates. They appear wherever you love.graphics.draw them, where you specify the coordinates yourself. So you already have the coordinates. Conventionally, games tend to use a table for each character, so say player={}. Then we set player.x=30 and player.y=50, for instance. And...

Re: Can I open Löve2D with .bat

You just need to call Love with your game's folder as the first parameter. For example:

Code: Select all

C:\Games\Love\love.exe "C:\Games\Love\my game"

Re: Splines!

So they only way to have a spline is in discrete steps? You can't just ask it for an arbitrary "position in the spline" (maybe a percentage or something) and get one point?

Re: Splines!

Any plans to add Catmull-Rom splines? I've read that they're useful for all sorts of things.

Re: The Legendary Empires MMORPG project

How is MMO games so hard to make? Well, you have to have ball-breakingly efficient network code, will almost certainly have to distribute the server across multiple high-powered machines (increasing complexity immensely) with expensive high-speed Internet connections, you'll need persistence (surpr...

Re: Planet Gravitation

Looks neat so far. Having to repeatedly tap the controls to move instead of holding them was a bit odd. I enjoyed it more when I modified all three planets to be the same size, so you could orbit better and not just always land on the big one. May I suggest a small addition to your code? function lo...
