You could use a texture, store your distances in it's pixels and then sample the value using your x-coordinate in your shader.

Maybe the Lua Gems book might be worth a look? It's a bit old but as LuaJIT is based on 5.1 it's a decent fit (and even though some details may have changed, Lua, as a language hasn't changed that much since version 5.

That's because of the depth buffer - the frontmost tree is rendered before the obscured behind it and, even for fully transparent pixels, depth value is written to the depth buffer. Pixels rendered behind that tree, even in the transparent area, will be discarded based on their depth. What you need...

Just replace the function with one using the parameters you prefer local lg_rectangle = love.graphics.rectangle love.graphics.rectangle = function( mode, x, y, width, height, color ) if color then local cur_r, cur_g, cur_b, cur_a = love.graphics.getColor() love.graphics.setColor( color ) lg_rectangl...

I'd use nativefs so you can load your images/data from wherever you want to. You actually can even use the regular Lua io module as long as you know the files you want to load and don't need any directory operations (like get the list of files in a directory) as Lua io has no support or even concept...

That's primarily a question of memory and also how big is big enough (there's only so much interesting content you can create with a team of two). I think the bigger maps in the campaigns will be around 128x128, I also did tests with 256x256 without a problem, so maybe some of that scale will be add...

For you what is an example of a reasonably scaled game ? Something with multiple entities pathfinding on a large map, for example. Complex computation being done continuously. I guess Pacman is the minimal example to qualify, but even that's stretching. I'm working on a city builder in the style of...

This looks really cool - any plans to turn it into a kind of small module somehow and/or document how you did the exporter for Blender? I thought about doing some kind of multilayered mesh animations for short/simple cut scenes (mission briefings etc.) in our game using Spine as an editor but Blende...
