I pretty regularly use functions with optional parameters in Lua; the following is a perfectly reasonable thing to do: foo = function (bar, optional_flag) apply_bar(bar) if optional_flag == false then do_something() end end foo(bat) and I don't think it's less readable than this equivalent: foo = fu...

Wait a second... this:

Code: Select all

not nil

returns true while this:

Code: Select all

nil == false

returns false.

So, since the two options behave differently for the same input, shouldn't we use the one that provides the desired behavior in whatever particular situation we're using it?

No, setScissor wouldn't do anything like what I want. setScissor restricts the drawing area to some portion of the display. If you look at this image again: http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o48/ExaMind/iso2.png That shows the contents of a framebuffer that is normally never displayed, only stored ...

You're overwriting 'some' too often in your loop. Try something like this:

Code: Select all

local cntr = 0
for i, v in ipairs(rocks) do
    if checkHit(xan,v) then
        cntr = cntr + 1
    end
end
some = string.format("Hitting %d rocks.", cntr)

Thanks! I expect I'll have to implement some sort of depth sorting, yeah. Haven't really decided on how I want to do that yet, though. And yes, this is in 0.7 (has to be, since framebuffers are newly supported in 0.7). Also, some more progress shots: http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o48/ExaMind/is...

examples:
floor(3.14159) returns 3
floor(4.99999998) returns 4
floor(5) returns 5

That's only true for non-negative numbers. floor(-0.5) is -1, not 0.

The floor of a number is the greatest integer less than or equal to that number.

That was an awful lot of work for such a small image. But there it is!

Yeah. I use b for type of element and r+g for the individual element. So the buttons around the edge are colored 50,50,250 through 56,50,250 (and the next one will be 57,50,250), while the map tiles are colored 51,51,50 through 50+mapsize.x,50+mapsize.y,50. I've started working on a main menu, and o...

I haven't even looked at collision yet. That's sort of in the "create an actual game" to-do item. Everything I had implemented as of the previous posting is listed in the post (I don't think I forgot anything, at least). Since then, I have gotten map rotation done, so now you can turn the ...
