There are plenty of use cases for vectors that are not at all related to Shaders. For context, read through the Linear Algebra for game developers series. Those articles will answer the general question of what a vector is , what it's used for, and what some of those vector functions are. Note that ...

Great example. I learned Bresenham's algorithm when I was working on a word search game. The lettergrid allows you to drag and select words going up/down/left/right and diagonals: http://cl.ly/0w0e2h2g053C100A1u1E/Screen%20Shot%202012-01-23%20at%205.32.20%20PM.png Code (scroll down to pointsBetween)...

That's it! Thanks, that makes sense.

I'm working on another game right now and the same issue appeared.

So, the general tips are:

- leave at least 1 pixel margin around your sprites
- draw your quads at non-fractional coordinates

Oh man, that issue is so annoying! I think it even shows up in the screenshot on the wiki. Let me know if there's anything I can do by way of adjusting or testing. If anyone else can confirm or deny this behavior maybe we can file a bug on bitbucket.

Also, the code is on GitHub for easy browsing.

You can supply a negative value to the sx, and sy (scale) parameters of love.graphics.draw() to flip your image on the horizontal and vertical axes, respectively.

Another nice benefit of table.remove() over setting the index to nil is that table.remove() will automatically re-order your indexes to fill the gap left by the removed index. If you have {1, 2, 3, 4, etc.} and use table.remove() on index 3, index 4 will get bumped to 3 and so on until the list is ...

Removing an item from a table while you are iterating it will cause problems if you are using table indexes. There are straightforward ways to do it that won't trip you up, however. Here's one way that I use a lot: local fruits = {'apple', 'pear', 'banana', 'grape'} local toRemove = {} for i, fruit ...

Dude, that's crazy. I keep trying and I can't top my best score of around $2300.

I think we're going to have to start talking strategy here. Are you all getting lucky usually or do you have a strategy of saving up certain items?

Yeah, there really is only one action, click an item.

What's your best score? Mine is $2200. The highest I've seen is Maurice on IRC who got somewhere in the $3000s.

Desert Loot is a game about collecting things and making decisions.
