Sorry for this necropost, but this post of mine made me laugh with how, ah, naive and innocent it is. Rogue-likes are hard work! And I have an actual job to do(I'm in the US Navy)... I think I'll always be more of a consumer than a producer...

Anyhoo... the Hello World part is pretty easy, だな. Guess the whole, um, game is gonna be the hard part. Like most community projects, though, input is valued and infinitely long arguments about whether the title of the project should be capitalized(or not) will predictably hold the actual coding off...

Okay. This seems out of the blue. I get that. But, I want to create a community rogue-like. I want to make it the best there ever was. Who's with me? Who has the dedication of the Tarn of Dwarf Fortress fame? Who has the chutzpah of the Dredmore folks? Who has the arrogance of the NetHack dev commu...

Upvalues... yes... they seem a bit complicated for a simple language like Lua. ...his approach is better because it doesn't bind the function every frakking frame (or at least every draw time, I don't know if you are using framebuffers for your GUI). Yes, thanks for the soft hammer on the head to ge...

I am in the midst of writing a set of reusable user interface components(yes, I know about LoveUI, it's a kind of challenge and I want to use my own licensing, natch) and have been implementing drag and drop. The problem I'm running across is getting the dragged object in the proper z order, and I d...

Mmhmm... Ruby is very nice... I would never have learned Lua but for LOVE, though, and I almost like it so far.

A technique I learned from the inimitable 'Ten Second War' is to create a table of identical sound sources thusly: sounds = {} for i = 1, 10 do sounds[i] = love.audio.newSource(yoursound, "static") end soundcounter = 0 Then, when you play your sound, do it like this: love.audio.play(sounds...
