Re: confused somewhat

As for "Stage Manager" and "LoveTank", I had a "click" as to how objects should be done in Lua and have re-written LoveTank from the ground up. Soon, I'll release another version of both. I look forward to seeing that. would documentation through comments in the code b...

how does one learn to develop?

I've taken several classes on programming and have even made some small games using Javascript. but when I look at even the simpler-seeming games I am blown away by their complexity and beauty, code-wise. I sit down for a day and try to learn what is going on in there and by the end I still only hav...

Re: BloxDodger - My First Game!

until I read the code for player.lua, I had no idea you died if you didn't continually move around, like move or die. I added some lines of code to give me alittle help. I like it . you might consider putting them in as well. here they are: --put these into the playerdraw() function. it adds a bar t...

Re: confused somewhat

I spent all of yesterday reading the online version of Programming in Lua which is the source reference for the class.lua you are talking about. Lua can use two tables to represent a class. The table and a metatable that has been assigned to the table. This is one of the mechanisms that Lua uses to...

Re: Move Or Die on Steam Greenlight

this game actually looks more enjoyable than the other one. of course one's a puzzle-style game while the other is a versus so it's to be expected. will there be a team-versus for it as well?

Re: Intro Credits

I do like it. The fade-in of the logo looks really nice. But I don't like the colour of the font, nor the font... I think it might be nice if the font color and type would be the same as used for the ö in the logo. Thank you. I wasn't actually sure how to make it have a nicer font in truth. it's al...
