Re: Viruses(?) in LOVE?

It said that LOVE.exe was listed as an effect of the virus. Not saying that it did the other stuff. One weird false positive...

Re: Viruses(?) in LOVE?

I've confirmed that it's definitely not a virus that embedded itself. I scanned only the .exe file after downloading a totally new installer from the webpage (I also deleted the old .exes) and it came up as positive once more. Not that it needs any more confirmation, but yeah. Unless LOVE's official...

Re: Viruses(?) in LOVE?

Be careful. Some malware (like the win.pinfi ) will embed itself into *.exe. Also, as a long time linux user, always make sure you trust the source. Make sure you're downloading the love.exe from the love2d.org website, or compiling it from the offical source code repo, otherwise, it is VERY easy f...

Re: Playing animations

You could use each frame of the .gif as the animation like this: function love.load() frame1 = love.graphics.newImage("x.png") frame2 = love.graphics.newImage("y.png") end function love.update(TimeInSeconds) if TimeInSeconds == 1 then love.graphics.draw(frame1, xpos, ypos) elseif...

Re: I can't think of a game to make

Funny, for me it's the opposite. I want to make a game of every type but keep getting distracted by the other types. Platformers, adventure, point and click, puzzle game, racing, SHMUP... I have dozens of half-started projects from every genre I will probably never finish. When I played MMORPGS, I ...

Re: Regarding placing/removing blocks in game.

Just a quick note, but you don't need to check if something equals true - unless the variable is nil or false, it will be evaluated as true. Likewise, saying "a and b" ITSELF will equal true or false. It sounds crazy, but short-circuit evaluation is really handy and convenient once you ge...
