What are the tiles you are looking at? could you post an example?

If you could post some code that might help in pinpointing your issue ?

my guess is since you said you never break from the loop and thus it ends up running until infinity or until your program crashes

I think what i would do is : - use that shadowcasting algorithm to get a polygon that describes the light shape, coming from your player in this case - then instead of just drawing that polygon, which is not good enough because you want the opposite - draw your shadow as a screen overlapping rectang...

this is a nice tutorial about it https://ncase.me/sight-and-light/

must be a few love2d implementations floating around too I imagine:

function love.keypressed(key) if key == 'escape' then love.event.quit() end end function love.keyreleased(key) if key == 'q' then table.insert(projectiles, {400,300,fireballCharge,0}) fireballCharge = 0 end end function love.load() fireballCharge = 0 projectiles = {} end function love.update(dt) if...

I'm sure there is a more proper name for what this does,

My first thought would be 'konami code'

Have fun with it, The thing I'd like to point out is, I didn't go the coin.update(), coin.draw route Instead I just put some vanilla objects in a table local rnd = love.math.random function love.keypressed(key) if key=='escape' then love.event.quit() end end function love.load() coins = {} local num...
