Re: New to Lua - tutorials

The wiki isn't great for complete newbies (it's fine for people who have been programming for a little while at least, well it was for me anyway). But anyway, some easy to understand tutorials for newbies would be most welcome! So go ahead. There's something not quite right about your avatar. I jus...

Re: Waiting.

Then you need a timer, because sleep will stop the execution of the whole game. How that works was explained to you before: Waiting, calling a function and waiting again It took me quite a while to be able to picture in my head how an event loop worked and how that affected my programs. I can see w...

Re: LÖVE security sandboxing Guide for Ubuntu users

I checked on my Ubuntu system and it wasn't set. The AppArmor profile is only intended to be used on the Ubuntu distribution, so it looks safe to leave a hard coded path to ~/.local/share/love in the profile. Thanks again for the feedback! ;)

thelinx wrote:It seems you're mistaken on one bit. In LÖVE 0.7, the save directory was moved to $XDG_DATA_HOME/love, or ~/.local/share/love by default.
Thanks for the hint. I've created read write access too ~/.local/share/love/. I'll have a look into $XDG_DATA_HOME/love later.

Re: Security Sandboxing

He he. Cool ok. That happens a lot with discussions. Different interpretations of words confusing the issue, or in this case one person (me) not properly interpreting what the other person meant. ^_^

Re: Security Sandboxing

BlackBulletIV: I don't think you thought through the problem very much before replying. You're treating Love as if it's a gaming platform , not a framework for game development. There's a big difference between the two. Frameworks just provide services, like worrying about how to draw graphics, or u...
