Simply Pong!

[Larsii30]

Hey everyone,

it's been a while ago when I opened my last topic ... so I thought I could share something I've done yesterday to
do something else then Fallin' Sky 2. I decided to do some Arcade classics like Arkanoid, Space Invaders or Snake
to see where I am with my programming skills. atm I think I still got a lot of work to write nice and efficient code.

My first pong :

Hey Larsii30. How da hell you screwed up with pong? ;P
Serious, game don't run here . Just a grey background without nothing happenning! No key input also...

[Larsii30]

Sorry, i'm being serious. Hang's without change in 0.8. Crashes 0.8 JIT
I didn't found any path problem or something in your code. Also isn't badly packed for OSX. Can't explain.

I couldn't help but notice your ball's direction variables are useless, as in, you would normally represent them as negative/positive velocities.
Otherwise, except for the AI being too good, it seems fine.

I'm not familiar with OSX and löve, so is there something handled in another way maybe ?
Hm. I can't find anything.

Thanks for feedback, bartbes

I solve your problem! I went to your GIT and downloaded your FallingSky 2. Well when decompressing noticed a unicode problem in some file. So I searched for unicode/foreign accentuation problems in your PONG code. Actually osx don't seem to like like your config file text. I deleted it and your game run without problems.

Probably is better you avoid the ö/ß in t.title from now on. No problem in t.identity.

Code: Select all

function love.conf(t)
	
	--Titeleinstellungen
		t.title = " Pöng "
		t.author = " Lars L. "
	
	--Bildschrimgröße und Grafikeinstellungen
		t.screen.fullscreen = false
		t.screen.width = 512
		t.screen.height = 512
		t.screen.vsync = false
		t.screen.fsaa = 0
		t.modules.joystick = false
		t.modules.audio = true
		t.modules.event = true
		t.modules.physics = false
		t.modules.sound = true
	
	--Filesystem
		t.identity = "Pöng"
end

well the "ö" is all the magic ? haha
Nice research, thank you!

I edited my post. In t.title is bad. No problems with t.identity.

EDITED: Also sorry for anything said in joke form I said before and was clearly misinterpreted.

It's usual for an updated .love to be posted after bugfixes so that we can play the game
