Oh, ok. Sorry didn't read that.

It is kind of hard to write a blog post using markdown (I had some experience with that in the edX Wiki)...

If you want, here is thorough documentation of markdown.

There should also be a WYSIWYG editor as well!

One of the reasons I decided to sign up as a writer was BECAUSE we could write in Markdown. I love it.

Alright, maybe I'll write my blog post in Notepad++ before posting it.

EDIT: Made a new blog post. Hope it gets accepted.

EDIT 2: Actually noticed a new favicon when I reloaded the blog (I opened the blog 6 hours ago).

My two cents:

you could add links to the homepage, the wiki, the forum and the issue tracker in the header. It would help navigating in the LÖVEsphere in an easier way.

Whooo, more bugs! Writers, Moderators and Board members can now see unpublished articles.

(btw, the article looks awesome substitute541, just need one more person to read it over.)

Once the blog gets going a little more, that's just what I plan on asking for :)

Congrats substitute541, great article! And congrats josefnpat for setting this up, it looks awesome! :awesome: I'm psyched for future posts.

I haven't finished reading the article, but I got stuck on visualising how the AABB check worked, so here's how I understood it...
circles.png
circles.png (17.11 KiB) Viewed 14041 times
The distance between the centers on the x-axis is found with math.abs(circleA.x - circleB.x), the absolute difference of the x positions.

As with the x-axis, so with the y-axis.

I'm probably totally confused, but should't it be...

if math.abs(circleA.x - circleB.x) > circleA.radius + circleB.radius and math.abs(circleA.y - circleB.y) > circleA.radius + circleB.radius then

because the circles could only be colliding if the centers on both axes are in range?
