I work in industry now and I would say if your goal is to get a high paying job it does not matter. A related degree and good grades are required to get your foot in the door but its only to check a box. How you interview, related experiance, and having a passion for the work is far more important. ...

something like this will work NOTE. I did not look at your code so I don't know how you actually set up your projectiles so it may need to be modified a bit to make it work as desired function setBulletVelocity(bullet) -- first get direction you want to shoot in radians and a speed speed = 200 direc...

I recommend setting up an image library that will allow you to reference images with some kind of ID for example the image name. You could do something along the lines of function getImage(fileName) if not imageTable[fileName] then imageTable[fileName] = love.graphics.newImage(fileName) end return i...

If you run into too much trouble, try implementing a merge sort, I was able to use this method to have thousands of objects on the screen with z sorting (possibly as high as 10k). Just make sure you cull your list down to only the things that need to be on screen at any given time.

You are only updating your position if your not on a box.
rework this

Code: Select all

if coln(box[i].x-5,box[i].w-5,box[i].y-5,box[i].h-5,new.x,new.y,player.w,player.h) == false then
        player.y = new.y
        player.x = new.x
      end

Don't update every frame. Send only things that change when they change(such as key presses and stat/inventory changes). This will cut back on a lot of net traffic. Have some kind of sync packet that can correct any deviation every half second or something for movement and a lot slower for stuff tha...

why not just write a pow() function, something like this (not sure if this works because I didn't try it but it seems like the concept should be sound as long as e >=0) pow(n,e) local total = 1 if e > 0 then for i = 1, e do total = total * n end end return total end

drunken_munki I sent you a PM

Yes I will. At the moment you cant do much other than fly around and I would like it to be somewhat playable before I let it out into the wild. I would also like to have some better art for things so I will need to find an artist or spend some time learning that side of stuff so it will be a little ...

I have been working on a space game project for a while. I intend for it to be one of those trade for resources to upgrade your ship so you can blow up bigger stuff and kill all the aliens games. The recent release of love 11 has simplified some of the shaders I was using and made the whole thing mo...
