Maybe it will be enough to just group tiles horizontally then group remaining tiles vertically =) ------ But if you want ultimate minimum of rectangles then I can think of some king of genetic algorithm: For each tile assign random boolean: will it be grouped vertically or horizontally. Shuffle tile...

About raycasting shader performance: in this simple algorithm ray path have even, small steps. This is inefficient, but can help understand the basics. More suitable approach will be to use adaptive ray steps to minimize steps count. I can think of 2 different methods to do this: 1) raytracing and 2...

I was worried about that problem five years ago: https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=217166#p217166 Since then I live with scary bat file with something like that: REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers" /V "O:\my_love_lives_here\win64\l...

Hi! Happy new year :3 There is just the shader, full example in the attachment: extern float light_radius; extern vec2 light_pos; extern float ambient; extern vec2 size; extern float wall_height; extern Image collision_mask; vec4 effect(vec4 color, Image texture, vec2 texture_coords, vec2 screen_coo...

Nice!
Thank you, exactly what I needed
So, [Solved].

Good day :3 Since love 0.9.0 there is a way to use multiple canvases. As wiki says here love.graphics.setCanvas : If love.graphics.isSupported("multicanvas") returns true, at least 4 simultaneously active canvases are supported. Personally I used up to 3 canvases in several projects and it...

Looks really as difficult example =)
I used some existing library https://github.com/rxi/json.lua
But if I will need to parse something on my own in Lua, I will remember your advise

By the given info I suggest that problem is inside "inheritance" mechanism. Lua does not have embedded one, and there is some different technics to implement that. Can you share code about how you implement inheritance? Maybe it contains some copying, maybe it happens every frame by some m...

Easy way: use existing particle system along with https://love2d.org/wiki/love.graphics.translate that way you can move all particles at once when player press "a" button and particles need to be moved all at once. Laggy way: do not use any particles or batches or instances, just plain dr...
