Thank you! Appreciate the feedback! Agreed, the ship rotation and accel should be tweaked. Rotation step should also be reduced to allow for finer grained control. Many times tapping rotation buttons to get the ship pointed at the asteroid will overshoot. We also considered adding friction like the ...

Try going through some tutorials. I started with this one (http://sheepolution.com/learn/book/contents). It has a good gentle introduction to Lua and Löve.

I'm getting "Error: main.lua:66: attempt to call global 'max' (a nil value)" whenever I press the space bar.

Space Rocks is a game very similar to the 1979 Atari Asteroids. https://love2d.org/imgmirrur/J8GDcgs.png Infinite waves of asteroids with asteroid speed and UFO shooting accuracy increasing. Top 10 scores are stored. Controls are on the title page. A UFO has a chance to spawn every 100 points. An ex...

I wound up centering the centroid of the game object shape to the image center. This resolved the rotation origin discrepancy between HardonCollider:shape:rotate() and lg.draw(image, x, y, angle, 1, 1, image:getWidth()/2, image:getHeight()/2). The downside is that asset creation takes a bit longer. ...

Resurrecting an old thread because I have a similar issue... The above worked for me until my game objects stopped being placeholder squares and became more complex. This required that HardonCollider shapes change from squares/rectangles to polygons. The issue is that the HardonCollider rotate(a) ro...

I haven't used it myself yet, but wouldn't HUMP gamestate library be useful here?
