Re: What's wrong with this?

Robin said most of it. I'm just going to elaborate and say:
if X will evaluate true for all values of X other than false and nil.

It's pretty convenient for testing if a variable has a value. 1 and 0 are both values, so they're both true.

Re: What software/methods do you use to edit/run your code?

I too use notepad ++

However, while I'm developing I have the files in a folder, and just drag the folder onto a shortcut to love that is on my desktop to run it.
Also: I use winrar, not 7zip.. I've never tried 7zip.

Re: Sega Columns Clone - (help checking colors)

It looks like when you make the grid you make the y values first, so a specific point should be accessed as cubes[y][x], whereas the rowfinder checks [x][y].. I could be wrong, but I think that's it.

Re: Sega Columns Clone - (help checking colors)

you essentially have 4 directions to check, right? horizontal, vertical, and the two main diagonals. Also: at least three in a row of same color to make a match, but no max length, yes? something like: function checkmatches() for cubey = 1, heightcubes do for cubex = 1, widthcubes do if (cubes[cubex...

Re: Text Origin Decide-icidal

I say topleft since that's the corner of the screen that is (0,0). To have it y pixels from the top when drawing text and not be top aligned seems silly to me (I have to type draw text at 0,fontsize to draw it in the topleft corner, which is counterintuitive).

Re: Translucent color?

I'm not sure I understand you. Translucence is a very similar effect to transparency: transparent means you can see everything behind it though tinted to this colour; translucent means you can see light (and so rough shapes) behind it. What I think you are saying is that you want to be able to pick ...

Re: love.graphics.setFontSize (hand made function for less lag)

I suppose this would work, but could you not also just predefine fonts as variables in the load script, and switch between them later? function load() def10 = love.graphics.newFont(love.default_font,10) def18 = love.graphics.newFont(love.default_font,18) end function draw() love.graphics.setFont(def...

Re: Max velocity = 200, why?

doh, that is a clever fix. I still have issues with 2000+ physics objects though.. I guess I'll just have to have fewer objects..
