I'll have a look at zlib, and related stuff :)
Zlib compression is possible with love.math.compress, just letting you know. https://love2d.org/wiki/love.math.compress

Re: ZITIL - Utility Library

I'm not sure if it's a concern, because it seems that LuaJIT is consistent across platforms. But in case you want to handle it to be sure: 1/0 and 0/0 give you inf and -nan in Lua, and -(1/0) and -(0/0) gives you -inf and nan. The tostring of that is what you can compare with. You can take a look a...

Re: ZITIL - Utility Library

Nice to see a de-serialization routine that doesn't just loadstring() the file. I'm not sure if inf and nan will work the same in all machines. In Lua they can be represented with something like #PINF or similar; not sure about LuaJIT. I really don't like decoding with loadstring(), it seems like a...

Re: ZITIL - Utility Library

Thanks for the feedback!

I removed the do...end blocks and renamed 'data' to 'serialize'.

ZITIL - Utility Library

I present to you: ZITIL - (ZodaInk's Utility Library)
It's a set of mostly non-game-engine specific tools. It is in an early stage, but I wanted feedback.

Ah, right... I forgot pcall works that way.

Re: "Questions that don't deserve their own thread" thread

Code: Select all

if pcall(love.keyboard.getScancodeFromKey("incorrect KeyConstant")) then
  -- do stuff
end
This code will show the error message "Invalid key constant: incorrect KeyConstant".
Is this intended behavior? I expected pcall to prevent the error message.

Here are a few videos of basic 3d modelling.
3d engines are not easy, if you're new to programming I would suggest something easier.

Re: Math.random creates a weird pattern

That did fix it...
Now I am even more confused, why would this fix it?

Re: Math.random creates a weird pattern

I usually would, don't know why I did it like this, but that is beside the point. The point is that it doesn't create a noise-ish array of boxes, it's not even filling up anywhere near 90% of it. if math.random() < 0.9 then --[[code]] end That should be true roughly 90% of the time, yet in my case i...
