Your first suggestion worked perfectly, thank you. I realized after posting this that setAngularVelocity also exhibited the behavior so I figured it must be related to the angle. I don't think I fully understand why this fixes it yet, but I will parse your response a few more times and try to get a ...

Oddly, I have the X option on this comment itself, but not the other 3. Edit: I think I get it, I ...

A quick note, I found that by getting the height * tileheight and width * tilewidth from the map.lua file, I could reset every love.graphics.getWidth() and love.graphics.getHeight() to respect my new mapW and mapH variables instead, which allows me to do things like center the player in the center o...

I realized that I had rules stating that the player would stop moving if their location was beyond the edge of the love.graphics.getWidth() values, so removing those does allow me to move freely through the map now. I also realized I was deceiving myself in thinking that the map itself wasn't being ...
