It's still not clear to me what the problem is/was...

You can make a circular shape in, say, Gimp, make corners transparent (so that only the circular wood texture is opaque), save as a PNG and have it rendered in LÖVE without having a black/blue/whatever square "behind" it.

Even less if you omit the parenthesis:

I'm not sure I fully understand the problem, but isn't it a transparency issue? Does your original image for a "circular" tile have transparent pixels?

Maybe you could post a screenshot showing the problem you're facing?

Cheers,

That's correct, sorry for not mentioning it.

EDIT: Since there are three possible solution to the blocking IO issue, I think my post qualifies for 2/3 of the truth

If you want to use coroutines to prevent your app from blocking when sending/receiving things over the network then it won't work. Coroutines are a kind of cooperative multitask, so if one coroutine blocks the entire app blocks. To prevent a network connection from blocking you'll need either socket...

Indeed, although Lua 5.2 will include a bitwise library AFAIK, and LuaJIT has one as well. Mike Pall, author of both LuaJIT and BitOp, has publicly criticized the bitwise ops library that will ship with Lua 5.2 because it does not guarantee consistent results across platforms, because bitwise ops h...

I think BitOp would be a great addition to LÖVE. It is cross-platform in that it ensures consistent behavior across all supported platforms which includes Linux, MacOS X and Windows.

And it's free software under the same license as Lua!

Try the Wiki for the basics.

I'm just trying to start up 0.7.1 from the install, simple as that. I don't know what that means, but LÖVE expects to be given something to run as a argument when you execute it. Try to download a .love file and either execute LÖVE from the command line (love filename.love) or drag the .love file a...

Is it LÖVE 0.7.1? What are you trying to run? How are you running it?
