Mmm I think you haven't thought that through. Ditto. I was talking about channels and goroutines. Me too. If you have some kind of asynchronous queue that you can dump stuff into and set up callbacks on, then you effectively have channels. In fact, you could have the queue serve as all the channels...

• Lua's concurrency model can't really hold a candle to that. Games could benefit from this in a number of ways.

If one can dump one's own events on the LÖVE event queue, then you can get "reasonably close" to a concurrency architecture close to Go's.

Would it be difficult to combine LÖVE with the Go programming language? Is LÖVE heavily dependent on dynamic language properties? I note there was a lov8 project that used Javascript and V8 instead of Lua https://code.google.com/p/lov8/

I'm pretty new, but I'd consider it. I'm working on a visual novel/adventure-y thing, and I'd love to meet people Did you know that theMADE.org has an interactive fiction meetup? That said, it would be nice if it were near public transit, as I'd have to come from SF. I come from Alameda on the 51A ...

Is it the old emitted particles that move about when you change the translation? From what I recall, it's the old emitted particles that *don't move* when you change the translation using love.graphics.translation() -- but only when you are using Tangential Acceleration. In that case, it worked whe...

I was just wondering if there was anyone hacking on LÖVE in the East Bay, especially near Oakland, California. I've been hanging out at the Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment. (MADE) http://themade.org/ Would there be interest in a "Hang out and Hack Night" kind of meetup? I could pro...

It might come down to an inconsistency in the API applied to particle systems. I was not able to get love.graphics.translate() to work with them properly, but using the offset arguments in love.graphics.draw did the trick.

Hi. I'm writing a 2D scroller. http://ooshiny.net/stcredzero/ev.png I'm trying to get particle effects to stay below specific features in my map. This is confusing because all of the coordinate transforms are supposed to be over with when love.draw() is done. The locations of particle effects are pe...

Calling type on the returned values from unpack will actually return the type of the very first item in the array passed to unpack, as type function will only catch the first returned value, not the others. for _,v in ipairs(retValues) do v = math.floor(v) end Re: type returning type of the first i...
