The way I use varargs is often for passing arguments along to an unknown, inner function. For example, I often write an EntityManager class that helps with mapping a function across many tables: function EntityManager:map(f, ...) for _,v in pairs(self._entities) do -- If the entity has the function ...

Another solution to Azhukar's potential issue is to create a separate Object Group in Tiled, and use those objects to define the collision objects for the tile map, rather than each individual tile itself. That way, the floor is a single smooth surface rather than a series of blocks. This is what I ...

There isn't, I'm afraid. And after messing around with the HTML5 Canvas API (which has context.save() and context.restore()), it's a really nice feature that would be great to have.

Completely off topic, but brilliant use of Ming the Merciless.

Vim. Don't get daunted by it, and don't think that because you can't play VimGolf you aren't worth; just use it how you want to use it, and eventually you'll start adding in new things. Honestly, for me, just the fact that the "o" command exists is enough for me to cry when I am forced to ...

A lot of the "interesting stuff that is not usually thought of" is often actually thought of: Antichamber is based around non-Euclidean geometry (kinda); Entity-Component Design Pattern follows the manta of favoring composition over inheritance; Jump Point Search is a shortest path improve...

I'm looking more to get that information rather than set it, so the hack I described could work. However, it looks like they are implementing an additional module for some of that information, love.window, for version 0.9.0. There still doesn't seem to be anything that can tell whether an applicatio...

I'm assuming you mean: -- main.lua local properties = {} function love.conf(t) -- Set values properties = t end --... That certainly seems hackish. I ran a for loop through the love module to see if it was somewhere in the top level, but I didn't notice anything. I'm assuming that they don't want yo...
