Um.. if the game is keyboard-controlled, then only 8 movement sorts are possible. Oh, um, actually, I coded a 360-degree movement in by using left/right to rotate 5 radians at a time. Those are the only two controls, the player object moves forward by itself, in a straight line if the user doesn't ...

Um, I'm making a casual game where you are basically a paint brush, and you 'paint the screen'. And the whole point of the game is to paint as much as you can :P So... that's why this is very important for the game. I've sort of come up with a solution, it's just an array that I add co-ordinates to ...

Hi, I'm making a game, and it basically consists of the player controlling a circle shape. As the circle shape moves around, it leaves a trail of where it's been since it started moving. It's not scrolling or anything, just on the one screen that is visible from beginning to end. How can I draw this...

I'm trying to make a platform game.

Can anybody give me some example values for the gravity, object masses, etc. to give a world where objects can bounce off other objects?

I can't seem to figure it out, all the worlds I create are very slow, and objects only bounce very slightly.

Yes, absolutely!

I didn't know of any Lua-specific text editors, so I thought I might give it a go using Love!

But I'm not a very good programmer, so I don't know what to do next If you're up for it, go ahead and make it into a proper Love editor!

If you use TextPad, I made a syntax file for love just now :) It includes all the functions, methods and constants. 700 lines @_@ lua.syn.txt Rename to lua.syn (remove the txt extension), and place it in your TextPad 'Samples' folder. Then all you have to do (if you haven't already) is associate all...

Drag the folder you are working on over the Love program, and it will automatically run in love. No need to zip anything.

Hehe, I used that, except strange things happen when there's a collision between to objects. Ie. they don't collide (properly). What I'd like is to have the same acceleration like when impulse is used, except when turning, no velocity is lost. Other than that, the objects can still slow down when co...

Thanks Kaze, that works great! However, I have a problem: When you press left/right, the object doesn't respond immediately, instead it takes a while for it to turn around because it still needs to overcome the force in its current direction. How can I make it so that it will immediately turn withou...

Hello, well, I've got an idea for a game so I'm going to try to make it :) I have come across a problem though, relating to the physics. You can say the game is sort of 'top-down' view, so I don't need gravity. There are two 'circles' controlled by players. I want each dot to have a continuous forwa...
