Did you mean interpreted languages (vs. compiled)?

Re: Roguelikes

This is a really simple maze algorithm that I've made way too complicated. I'm going to have to clean it up a bit. It works, though. function _M:maze(bound, mult) for x, y in bound:perim() do if self:get(x, y) == 'rock' then self:random_wall_tile(x, y) end end for x, y in bound:grow(-1):iter() do se...

Re: Roguelikes

I guess that by adding some blocks to the equations you can even create less random levels I keep thinking about doing that, but I never seem to get around to it. :) I think this guarantees that all nodes are connected, and therefore all nodes are accessible regardless of terrain. :) I managed to f...

Roguelikes

I know at least Gunroar is interested in roguelikes, so I thought it would be fun to have a thread on techniques with a special emphasis on love. I got side-tracked from updating my old roguelike into developing caves. I'm using a simple bombardment function on areas created by recursively splitting...

Re: Is Love2D really for me?

I just rely on someone's else work because it's better Unwarranted assumption. Most of the libraries I make are provably better for my projects because they focus on what I need to do. They are better optimized and much easier to maintain, plus I'm much more familiar with them. Using someone else's...

Re: My project crashes every time I try to edit the contents of a table in an if else statement.

If I add a table.insert() or a table.remove() within this if else statement, then my game crashes when down == true. I don't know why this is happening and I can't find a workaround for it either. table.insert and table.remove must be called when table is the original lua library, "table"...

Re: ChatGPT proposes and creates a game in love2d ( artificial intelligence scares me )

I was referring to you. I was telling you to take it to a different community if you want to continue. The currently written guidelines on the forum are much older than services like these (as you can see from the dates) so there isn't anything specific about them there, but #10 covers it regardles...

Re: ChatGPT proposes and creates a game in love2d ( artificial intelligence scares me )

In any case, speaking of morality, LÖVE as a project and community is pretty strongly tied to having creators do what they will with what they create. This includes the right to choose how something you create is used, copied, etc. This is the opposite moral stance of ChatGPT's authors. If people w...

Re: ChatGPT proposes and creates a game in love2d ( artificial intelligence scares me )

ChatGPT may be good at "transforming" (or plagiarizing) existing creative works As you pointed out earlier, chatgpt is a tool, so it cannot plagierize. I don't mean to split hairs, but that sort of statement is what gives people the wrong idea about what AI is and what it can do. Also, it...

Tablet Games

I don't own a tablet or have google's store on my phone, so this is purely a hypothetical question. I saw this article about google favoring tablet-oriented applications on their store, so I wondered, would all of these requirements be feasible for an android love game? https://arstechnica.com/gadge...
