I've used ZeroBrane for a while, but it has its fair share of problems. Sometimes Lua files will look formatted correctly in the editor, but when you open them with another file, there's random indentation everywhere. The editor also highlights matching parentheses and braces pretty poorly (often no...

This is really useful! How does this work with HUMP's Gamestate library, exactly? Do I call push:apply("start") and push:apply("end") in every gamestate's draw function? I'm not exactly sure how it works but you should be able to do something like this: function love.draw() push...

Cool! More than 1000 tracks, that must have been a lot of work.

For levels, instead of require I use local tempLevel = love.filesystem.load(filename)() then run through the tempLevel table and handle things accordingly. Or store it in a less local table instead. Either way, as long as you delete the old level table data completely when loading a new one you're ...

You can store each level in a separate file (or all levels in one separate file) and simply require the file when necessary. If you call require like a function you can pretty much pass in any string, even dynamically generated ones or variables containing strings.

Well I know that the idea behind OOP is a whole different story, but as of it is now, OOP is merely a bunch of syntax sugar on top of plain imperative programming. When we'll get to the real OOP then we'll have a talk. That's mostly because Lua isn't exactly suited for it. If the language supports ...

Does debugging work correctly now? I tried ZeroBrane back in December, and when starting a game with the debugger on, the game just didn't load, and hung instead. But if it works again, I'll definitely be getting back into it. It's a great IDE. Teraku, I'm not aware of any current issue with the de...

Zerobrane. Yeah, I thought Zerobrane was pretty good. The debugger was unusable when I tried it last month, though. Crashes game instantly. I used to use a simple programming text editor like ConTEXT, but I later moved on to Scite. My only gripe with it was that it autocorrected "do" into...
