Welcome to the forums. There is no feature in lua to evaluate expressions with that notation. If you really want to use this string as is, you would have to parse it. If you're allowed to change the notation, you could write it as standard lua, eg. `"5*a+10"`, and use `loadstring` to evalu...

You can create an ArrayImage (https://love2d.org/wiki/love.graphics.newArrayImage) to circumvent the issue altogether.

Say one of my threads gets caught up in an infinite loop. I know this because I expected it to callback but it never did after a few seconds.

that would be incredibly great.

I'm still in the process of avoiding crashes on some modes; my immediate goal now is to fix the crash on local multiplayer. I'll probably make an issue with a to-do list as soon as I identify more things not working. Also testing the game and reporting problems helps me plenty since a lot of things ...

I think we all know what mari0 is about, right?

Last year I wanted to run it from source, so I ported the game to 0.9...
