Re: Bombs and Bullets - a 2D RTS inspired by Command and Conquer

Man, this looks great! How did you pull off the shadows and the reflections ? Isn't this running with 2D sprites? Some suggestions: - The vehicles shadow make them look like they are floating in the air a little. The shadow directly below them needs to be stronger and wider (too much offset). - It l...

Re: Stone Kingdoms 0.2 (RTS)

Nice work! I am planning on making my own RTS someday with Löve so this was a good inspiration. The Stronghold assets are great for that nostalgic old school RTS feel. I mostly spawned in thousands of wood cutters and slowly watched them decimate the forest (: Well, I'm glad they didn't decimate yo...

Re: Weird love.thread behaviour or my struggle with loading screen

What kind of size are we talking about here? If you're map is too big it might make sense to split it into chunks, you'll get a lot of other performance boosts by doing so, like rendering at only what you're looking. You're also concatenating strings for your entry, but it seems like this would be m...

Re: What am I missing about Löve and Lua in general?

Lua and love2d is by definition the opposite of Processing. Processing is a 'batteries included' type of language, while Lua is "an extensible extension language". Don't get me wrong, Lua is amazing and once you get used to tables you'll never want to go back. But if you do, you can also u...

Re: Any way to get canvases to be more efficient?

Yeah but he's drawing to the "canvases" only at start, so what CPU bottleneck? It's obviously CPU since he has integrated video graphics, but you get my point. I think it's the 20 4k x 4k canvases he's trying to draw. But I just want to see why he chose this over complicated method instead...

Re: Any way to get canvases to be more efficient?

You're doing something terribly wrong. What are these 'layers' and why do you need 20 of them? Why are you rendering them all to canvases and then rendering each canvas instead of rendering them all to one canvas? I doubt your Spritebatch attemp is good. I'm able to draw 102400 32x16 animated tiles ...

Re: 3D Rendering Engine in Love 2D

You should ask Shell32 on the discord server. He's doing some amazing stuff with 3D and may give you some tips.
