Re: A function/tables question(I think?)

so.. yeah it's kinda of a mess haha I was trying to follow what you were addign to the table there and it got really jumbled around.. I think what you should do is go look into "class" making in lua. If you'd like you could take a look at my little ball example. The class.lua file is somet...

Re: love.graphics.newQuad not so slow?

Well i'm not sure of the specifics but I left it running for about 45 minutes on my computer, came back and the framerate had dropped from around 980 to between 930 and 940. So something might be slowly slowly bogging it down but idk if that's big enough to really consider

Re: Circle-Rectangle Collision Detection

HOLD UP! I just had a wonderful idea! haha I still suggest most of what I said in the last post, however I just thought of an idea of how you could do a simple hack for rectangle vs circle collision. I beleive this should work in most (if not all) cases and is really simple to check. All you need to...

Re: Circle-Rectangle Collision Detection

So I don't actually have an exact answer for you but I wanna say one thing. Precise circle vs rectangle collision is A LOT of work and frankly usually isn't useful for how computer intensive it is going to be, especially for something like a bullet that will probably have many of on the screen, and ...

Re: player disappear after switching gamestate

Alright so I found the root of the problem but being so new to lua I'm not sure exactly how to fix it. Essentially what is happening is when you return to the room the entity that is created is just a generic entity. Or at least the generic entity draw function is getting called. If you put somethin...

My name is stampede...

Re: Framerate Drop

Alright thanks for the suggestions guys! I did some research, found a program to monitor what was using my gpu randomly and it turned out to be dwm. So it really had nothing to do with Love at all haha it just increased the gpu enough that the spikes would then cause lag. Anyways I got it fixed :) N...
