Do you think you can provide a minimal, runnable example that exhibits the problem? You can use placeholder assets. Also, what are your graphics card specs? Thanks for replying. Yes I will get a minimal running example uploaded as soon as I can. Specs are: intel(R) HD Graphics 620. 64bit Win10, 8GB...

Some key code extracts: The Border Lines spritebatch is 'pre-rendered' in this way: local pre_render = function(empires) batch:clear() batch:setColor(1,1,1,1) for i=1,#empires do local colour = empires[i].colour local this_owner = empires[i].index for j=1,#towns do if towns[j].owner == this_owner th...

Hi there, I am currently struggling with an issue that I fear will make my game unreleasable. :cry: I am rendering a 2d grid-based world map with 3 different layers (each layer is a spritebatch). Sometimes when running the game 2 of the layers render in a very weird way: some of the tiles either fla...

Hi all Looking for some help with mysterious flashing tiles in my game. It's a strategy game with a grid based map. The map has several layers (terrain, resource, territorial borders, fog of war, etc). For efficiency the map is rendered as 5 distinct sprite batches (each sprite batch contains one of...

Star Quest An RPG game inspired by Earthbound about kids uncovering the truth about a mysterious secret society. Ah, and saving the world, of course. Screenshots: The game is in an early stage of development, so it might look ugly for now town.png battle.png Characters: both.png Brendan A 13 year-o...

Never done iso maps before so never realised how hard this is. I have an isometric tiled map where 1,1 is in the top corner and 1,col is in the right corner of the screen (orientation matters). When there is a mouse-click on a tile, I need to work out which tile was clicked. I watched this very goo...

Thanks both, this has helped demystify the concept of profiling for me greatly.

I recommended ProFi . It's simple and it's easy to find which functions take the longest to run. Just use ProFi:start() at the start of the function you want to profile(even if it's at the beginning of love.update) then call ProFi:stop() at the line of the function where you want to stop profiling....

Hi all, noob question but what (in simple terms) is the best way in love to profile/analyse my code to see which parts need optimising? My prototype project so far has around 9-10,000 lines so it's pretty extensive now and mostly runs fine but I know it could be better. Thanks in advance for any tips!

I'm currently dabbling with an isometric turn based strategy game. Love has surprised me with how quickly I could realise the project. For now my aim to build a fully working game that is an ultra simplified version of Civilization type games. I'd definitely be interested in anyone's views who enjoy...
