LÖVE

boolean is (probably) a nil value. string is a table. type(val) returns a string with the type name, therefore you need to compare it to another string:

Code: Select all

if type(foo) == "boolean" then print("bool") elseif type(foo) == "string" then print("str") end

I envy your game's performance. I get 400+ FPS ingame in Kerosuke, and much less in most other löve games.
I think most of that has to do with your general lack of HUD text or particle systems. Both of those bring my FPS down pretty hard.

Speaking as a Mac user, Savage 1 and 2 are both awesome. S2Mercenary would approve. :p

Zen: yes?

I compiled an intel-only OSX LuaJIT (2.0.0-beta6) Löve build: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4214717/LoveJIT.zip

Compiling against a dynamic library kept giving me the error

Code: Select all

dyld:  Library not loaded: libluajit.so

so i had to use a static one.

Well, yeah, but in a more "live" situation with my background and NPCs enabled it goes from 250fps to 320fps, plus I was planning on having more things printed onscreen than I currently am.

Oh well, good thing it's being redone soon™ at least.

I have five love.graphics.print calls in my code currently, and the one with the most text is "Health: 2000/2000" (they're all at default font/size too), so it's not like I'm printing whole paragraphs, however when I comment these calls out my FPS jumps drastically, from 390fps to 560fps. ...

It should be

Code: Select all

local len = math.sqrt(x*x + y*y)

Making the change didn't affect the speed of the tests at all for me.

EDIT: On a side note, localizing all the math functions (not the table itself) brought my times down from

Code: Select all

time: 	4.746087
time: 	8.156244

to

Code: Select all

time: 	3.405954
time: 	6.183561

No one has won quite yet, this is only the first (or second, I guess) step. Good for them though.

Oh my. This is amazing! Very nice work.
