Re-order your update function like so: function love.update(dt) cam:lookAt(player.x, player.y) if love.keyboard.isDown("a") then player.x = player.x - player.speed*dt elseif love.keyboard.isDown("d") then player.x = player.x + player.speed*dt elseif love.keyboard.isDown("w&q...

You are welcome. I have just cloned again the git repository. The window size issue has been fixed, but the font issue is still here! That's very strange - Git didn't recognize the filename change from ".TTF" to ".ttf" and so ignored the push to repository. I had to manually del...

• Under Linux, I had to rename CHEQ_TT.TTF to CHEQ_TT.ttf.
• The game doesn't fit to my (little) screen.

Fixed the font! The game window is also now resizable and launches at a smaller size - updated release build is available.

Also thank you!

After a few months of work, I've finished v1 of my playable Chess engine. The whole project was written from scratch using Lua/Love2d, though heavily inspired by Sebastian Lague's Chess Programming Video . Download and try your hand at defeating it! :3 https://i.imgur.com/wbfdOJb.png Repo: https://g...

Change your update function to this: function love.update(dt) if love.keyboard.isDown('right') then square.squarex = square.squarex + square.squarespeed * dt end end You need to access the properties of the table like you are in the draw function. Also consider the following: local square = { x = 0,...

Thanks for the suggestion for roomy, I'll check it out. One of the things I'm struggling with at the moment as someone new to Love2D, is just how many libraries there are out there that tackle the same thing. I don't want to reinvent the wheel if there are existing commonly used libraries out there...

What vilonis said. I happen to have a function for exactly this that I was using for an Auto-Battler prototype. For the purposes of library independence I added the relevant vector functions locally: local function len(x,y) return math.sqrt(x*x + y*y) end local function dist(x1,y1, x2,y2) return len...

I think it's because I need to use push:start() and push:finish() in both the gamestate's draw method and in the love.draw() and they do something weird when used together. You've already identified the problem and the solution -- don't call those functions in both places. I don't know what they ar...

What you are looking for is a soft implementation of OOP. Try the following: local Pipe = {} Pipe.__index = Pipe function Pipe.new(x, y, sprite, gap, velocity) local pipe = { x = x, y = y, sprite = sprite, gap = gap, velocity = velocity } return setmetatable(pipe, Pipe) end function Pipe:update(dt) ...

While I applaud you for attempting to write collision detection + resolution entirely on your own, I can't say I recommend it unless you are very experienced with game development and the related math. You should definitely consider using Box2D (love's built in physics engine) or something like bump...
