Technocat, I tried to do it that way, but it didn't work properly.... I can't even begin to describe the bug I was getting. *_*
After checking the tutorials again I got it right, thanks BlackBulletIV!

Thanks for the awesome tutorials and code I've just implemented it tonight, and it works really well.
Just one problem I've had... my mouse cursor position doesn't seem to update as the camera moves. How would I be able to correct this?

I think I know what he means by tile-based. You say very true things, however, judging by the "can you make it work with love.physics" part, I assume he does not understand A*. (For reference: see Wikipedia .) Yeah, it's been so long since I read up on A* I've forgotten exactly how it wor...

Cool! I actually liked the way the net was controlled. If it were easier the game wouldn't be challenging.
Also... are you sure it's about birds and not people? :p

I like this a lot! I've been wondering how to tackle AI for a while now, and this is great!!
Any chance of modifying it to work with love.physics and not tile-based?

tentus, thanks! I've neatened it up a little bit now. I also use PHP - I've been using LUA for just over 2 weeks now, and I've not once looked at a LUA programming guide - I'm just trying things ( '!running' failed, and I didn't think of trying 'not running' ) :D I've learnt LUA from the LÖVE2d wiki...

Finally, in Lua, you don't need semicolons on the end of lines, or parenthesis in if statements, unless you feel like it makes things easier to read. Saves a bit of typing in the long run and clears up the screen if you leave them out. I'm used to semicolons and parenthesis... it does make it easie...

Thanks must go to bartbes for pointing out that I should use a restitution of 0 for both the player and the ground if I want to eliminate the bounce.
Still, I think it's a handy effect for different surface types like mud. I'll implement it later when I actually get that far :p

It seems the player loses momentum as soon as they land. That may be realistic, but it doesn't feel very "platformery". I know, it actually 'bugs' me quite a bit! I'm not quite sure how to fix it though. It's got to do with the physics. The player bounces slightly, and can't move as quick...

Hi!! This is my first post on the forum, although I've been trolling IRC for a week or two now, so I'll try not to 'iterate' anyone :) I've started a simple platformer which will revolve around jumping, and will be mostly vertical. I'm using love.physics a lot. I've yet to figure out how to manage m...
