Well, for starters you don't need to disable rect.indrag when the mouse goes outside the rectangle. That way, the only way for a drag the user has started to end is when they let go of the mouse button. If you're making a game where the drag can be cancelled by the box being prevented from reaching ...

The year’s wrapping up quickly, but I finally have some good news for this year’s progress. No more intro, let’s get into some real progress: The Reconstruction I’ve finished remaking the portions of the first dungeon that I had to throw out back in the spring. Well, that was basically finished last...

Oh nice, I'm going to need a better way of writing dialogue in my game and Yarn looks like it might fit the bill! I'll be keeping this in mind for later

I've made a little bit of progress on it though, so I'm gonna write a little about where I want to go with it. Where Am I Now? ...

I'm pretty sure you just missed a call to Player:load(). Without that, you won't have any values in 'self' when calling Player:draw()--that's what your error is here, self is a real value but self.x is nil Also...unrelated, but "Map/1..lua" looks like a possible typo. Can't say for sure wi...
