Hi you should add version numbers to your filenames, otherwise it quickly gets confusing. Anyway, I tried the version from this post https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=258162#p258162 (I believe) and it instantly hangs up. (Program not responding, have to close it via task manager) In initiat...

I'm almost done with the SendShips panel. There are 4 more buttons I want to put at the bottom. I could probably get it done tonight but I will be relaxing with a movie instead! It is all draw instructions until it is done then the permanent features will be taken out and drawn once to a canvas. Cli...

The style of the game is ancient. And the ui is just the keyboard. Today everyone has a mouse. So just use the mouse ui built into love2d. Left button to move to a door. Right mouse button to interact. A popup if there are choices or a popup that says the door is locked. So for every scene there is ...

Very smooth which gives a good feeling. But I'm no good at these kind of games and that gives me a bad feeling when I play. I want the dragon to be smart enough to not crash into the ground or a cliff wall. The dragon should have some mind of its own and not do some things. Just a thought.

Dragging a line is just a way of showing that selection is in progress. But I should have mentioned that. Soon I'll make a readme that can be updated as progress is made. I meant having an option to drag a line from one planet to another as an alternative to clicking first and clicking second. I tr...

Houston we have liftoff! It is a real game now!! :awesome: It is still pre alpha or maybe even pre pre alpha but it is playable. The AI is the simplest (and stupidest) AI I can make that is just above random. It can and will give one grief at times. The game starts off paused. Toggle paused by right...

I will study this and spiff up the code when I understand it better. Though most of the globals are used in more than one module/file. I just need to study it for awhile. Thanks

So maybe I should just zip the files and not the folder? I'll try that. Okay done. Thanks Very simple space game indeed. It took me a minute to understand what a player should be doing. Dragging a line would help in addition to clicks. Also it's not clear what the starting planet is and also why in...

Probably incorrectly packaged: Error [love "boot.lua"]:321: No code to run Your game might be packaged incorrectly. Make sure main.lua is at the top level of the zip. Traceback [love "callbacks.lua"]:228: in function 'handler' [C]: in function 'error' [C]: in function 'xpcall' [...

Another long day and some nice progress. All that remains to be done now to have a pre alpha but playable game is to write the computer players AI. As it is now the human player can send ships to planets in range and conquer the galaxy with no opposition. Napoleon, Hitler and P___n sure could of use...
