IMHO, ECS would be better that an OO design for this problem People often start learning programming nowadays with languages like Java and Python, which preach Object Oriented Programming as The Best Thing Ever and the Only Way To Do Things (Java especially). As people begin to code more, they often...

As i'm not doing polygon collisions yet, I think GJK is a bit overkill.

Good luck then. I certainly can't help you on that - not for lack of willingness, but lack of math capacity. I can offer some pointers though: The implementation of bump's algorithm is based on this article by wildbunny (don't let the title fool you, it is quite good). The article describes the Min...

I already have some ideas about how to go about that as well, by moving each object one at a time and ordering collisions by normalized time (I'm assuming that's how bump does it). That will also be a challenge, definitely. Originally, I was going to add verlet physics, but I realized that perfect c...

https://github.com/bakpakin/Splash.lua/raw/master/img/demo.gif I needed collisions for ongoing Doom-style FPS, without full physics but with the convenience of bump.lua. Specifically, I needed walls and circles to represent the player and things in the world. Splash.lua is my ongoing generalized im...

As the author of binser, I agree that it should work and save your game. However, it might not be as easy to set up as Lady. If you do decide to use binser, I'll be glad to help.

If you want to use Luarocks in your project, even after realizing that you can't use C modules, check out Loverocks . It's a command line tool for using luarocks in a LOVE project independently from a system install. Also, it doesn't interfere with distributing your game. EDIT: It seems there have s...

It's really cool that you're so into math; it is important to have a grasp on math if you want to make games (Not level design or game design, per say, but actually code a game). I would say algebra or calculus would be the way to go, but more specifically Linear Algebra . Linear algebra is really u...

I'd like to try, please!
