Yea, I figured as much however I was assumed that would be tricky whether in Unity or any other language, do you think this would be trickier in Love2D vs something like Unity? Maybe trickier in the sense that Unity offers more tools and has an asset store that probably already has some code that d...

I'm sorry, it seems like I got stuck on the technical side of things. Both React and Roact "cheat" when it comes to actually implementing the UI, in that they use existing UI features that love2d doesn't have and components configure them but don't have to deal with events, actual renderin...

I would suggest starting by picking an object orientation framework for lua, and making yourself familiar with it. There are a bunch of them, or you can write your own. Your post sounds a bit like you're in the middle between procedural and object oriented, with you calling things "tables"...

Firstly, if you're still looking for how to load a file (or reload - same thing!), check out love.filesystem.load . You don't actually need very strict separation, you just need to avoid resetting your state on load. E.g. this counter will reset on reload: count = 5 function countDown() count = coun...

Maintaining state perfectly across reloads is nearly impossible if you don't cooperate and write your code in a specific way. I don't know Fennel but I'd imagine functional programming in lua being close to the worst case, since anonymous generated functions are one of the biggest problems for hot r...
