Re: Looping problem

Thanks! This solved my problem! :awesome: Still can't figure out what's wrong with that scenario, though, since I create the tables if it's not there. :P Why? That's a very bad way of going about a solution. You need to check if there is tiles on all 4 sides before you try and use it in your formul...

Re: What's everyone working on? (tigsource inspired)

All is going well on the planetary defence portion of my game... I can shoot bullets, launch missles, create structures, etc.

Only outstanding issue is trying to clamp the rotation on my turrets (White Line in the picture) in which I am being blatantly ignored in my help thread...

Re: Looping problem

In line 46 of Main.lua you are breaking the loop and allowing more executions. You're naming conventions are horrible, so I don't know what variable is what. I assume you want to 'return' there instead, which solved your issue. After the 4th iteration I ran into an error on line 84 in tile.lua in wh...

Re: Tutorial on bullets?

Need more info on what you need. Are you launching bullets from turrets, guns, players, etc. Is Rotation a factor in your implementation? Are there dynamic offsets of the bullets location? Is the bullet "homing" in on its target?

Re: Bullet

In main.lua you have

Code: Select all

if love.keyboard.isDown == "a" then
		_fireBullet()
	end
which should be

Code: Select all

if love.keyboard.isDown("a") then
		_fireBullet()
	end

Help with comparing rotations beyond +-Pi

For future reference '+-" means positive or negative Hello everyone, So I have attempted to come up with a solution on my own but no dice. I am essentially trying to create a turret that can only rotate X degrees from its original orientation. It works fine for any values between 0 and +-(X - ...

Re: Mr. BallGuy 2!!!! ***V0.1.0 ALPHA***

It gets to a point where you can't possibly go any further without dying as Mr. BallGuy takes too long to hit the floor before I can jump again, thus forcing me to hit the next red ball because I haven't landed yet.

Using the canvas?

I'm hoping that this is the last technical question I will have regarding specific functions or portions of LOVE. I saw the Canvas class and I was a bit confused about something it mentioned: By drawing things that do not change position often (such as background items) to the Canvas, and then drawi...

Re: How did you find LÖVE?

After having messed with XNA to no avail and requirements for overcomplicated math that I have no intent to understand until taught (AKA. Quaternions and rotational matrices...) I decided to start simple. I told myself I needed to abandon my excessively intricate video game designs that involve larg...

Re: Lua Coroutines in games?

Coroutines are about describing sequential events using code, rather than using data structures. I understood everything but this. Could you elaborate please? I'm sitting in a 4 hour long Algorithm Analysis course bored out of my mind... so my brain is not all there at the moment. EDIT: Nevermind. ...
