You can do ultra-simple OO with inheritance like this: class = {} class.add = function(self) return self.a+self.b end class.getClassname = function(self) return self.classname end class.new = function(self, params) local newInst = {}; newInst.a = params.a or 0; newInst.b = params.b or 0; newInst.cla...

I'm trying to find a way to debug what I code, but the compiler errors blocks my game and I cannot understand what happened exactly, I've tried lovebird with the hope to add more information but it doesn't. Which are the common ways to debug with LOVE 2D? When I have trouble with compiler errors, I...

You know what they say: no gloval, no loval.

Thank you, that's very handy! It's not quite what I need-- but I discovered that "" or "/" is the read path containing main.lua. Not what I would have guessed since "" or "/" is the write path for appdata. Still running into weird cases-- are folders created i...

I was thinking it would be smart to set up an automated version control system, but I'm having trouble accessing the directory of my lua files. I've tried appdir, workingdir, savedir, and userdir. What I would like to make is something like love.quit = function() if _G.debugBuild then local baseDir ...

Well, I'm doing things with a queue of drawables, each with its own :draw function-- so my main looks like client:getInput() client:output(game) game:think(love.timer.getMicroTime()) for i =1, #client.drawQueue do client.drawQueue[i]:draw() end Which seems like a fine way to do things organizational...

Ah, thanks for the explanations.

I've just been handling logic inside love.draw (well, in objects' methods that get called by love.draw), then spent some time browsing the wiki and discovered love.update. Both get called every frame-- is there a reason to separate these? Am I doing something wrong? Is there some reason that love.up...

Thank you very much, that's working great!

I know this is dumb, but... How can I most simply create a text file if it doesn't exist, then append a line of text, then close it? I'm trying to create simple output to a textfile (for debugging purposes, mostly). I would like to have something like, i, emergencyBrake = 0, 10^10 while table.contin...
