The first one is that what you are trying to accomplish seems inherently complex. GUI programming looks easy at the start. But once you keep working on it a bit (and especially if you are thinking about composition, containers-inside-other-containers, and auto-resizing) it gets a bit hairy, in fact...

This is absolutely not a stupid question, Zilarrezko. With that kind of graphics, it is hard to guess for the eye what direction each area is exposed to, and for the tool, it is even harder. The most problematic part of your sprite is the floor, which doesn't turn out flat in the normal map, like y...

First of all, in Lua (and Middleclass) this is valid code, and it will work (b1 will have two special draw and update methods, while the rest of the button instances will get them from their Button class, assuming it has defined them) So the b1 will override right? so that when I call self:draw() i...

So I am trying to make a GUI library and I am using classes for the gui elements to do the normal gui stuff in the back-end. But I want people who uses the library to interface as easily as possible and add their game logic without worrying about what is going on behind the hood in the library. That...

And even when you do implement DRM, how will that stop someone from taking the cracked version and selling it as his own? In an illegitimate market you can't do anything. I doubt anyone here cares they are ripping off you game in china or eastern block. However it can affect you in a legitimate mar...

Blatant ripoffs have happened before. Can you name one? I mean, can you name a case where really code was copied? I only recall the game ridiculous fishing being copied, but that was an "idea ripoff" not a "code ripoff". If I remember correctly one of the Vlambeer guys talks abo...

i am going to hide stuff like this in my source code all of the time Who do you think wants to "steal" your code and what would they do with it? Can you name me some instances where indie game developers were hurt by having exposed code? Can you name me some where the modding community th...

For people who have this problem because of the fixed framerate setting the app to fullscreen solves it.
I am not sure about the garbage collector.

Awesome! Thanks!

I have some tables with some data and this tables have some tags. What I need is some trickery to search multiple tags for the specific tables with data. For example if have table 1 with tags A B table 2 with tags B C table 3 with tags A B C "searching" for B gets me all, searching A B giv...
