Strange Problem

Using the LOVE engine I am trying to draw an oblique projection grid, that will be able to be "Shaped" and shaded based on height. For this I will need four triangles per square and am calculating the approximate midpoint of the grid to connect the shading triangles. That is not the proble...

Translating the Wiki

Hello, I recently noticed that the wiki is sorely lacking translations for most every page. My question is, what are the plans for this? Does anyone else in the community know any other languages? I myself being Canadian know French and although I'm more capable than your average anglophone I'm stil...

Re: Question about distribution.

Don't forget executing remote code is nice and safe by itself.. or wasn't it.. hmm.. Well if the server doesn't accept remote code then a potential hacker would only be able to mess up his own client. Unless you have someone intercepting all your data and sending it out to clients w/ some kind of c...

Re: Question about distribution.

So then just set it up so that your client accepts a string sent by the server that will return the size of the client's code in bytes to the server and if it differs from standard or if there is an error anywhere along the pipeline close the connection. Make sense?

Question about distribution.

To quote the LOVE wiki: As you probably know by now, LÖVE is a framework for making 2D games in the Lua programming language. LÖVE is totally free, and can be used in anything from friendly open-source hobby projects, to evil, closed-source commercial ones. I don't see how it would be possible to ma...
