You just don't see much in the way of first person 2d games. Eye of the Beholder was (I think) 2d (1991). Wolfenstein 3D was somewhere between 2D and 3D.

The first person perspective does not lend itself to two dimensions, with the possible exception of Myst style "hunt and click" games.

Will this be updated to 0.8.0?

Nevermind,

Changed the following lines in a copy of the code and it works great. thanks, MarekkPie.

51 local fb = love.graphics.newCanvas()
52 love.graphics.setCanvas(fb)
65 love.graphics.setCanvas()

Great success! So the square wanders randomly around, and every once in awhile complains about being lost. -- tutorial.gridlock -- from https://love2d.org/wiki/Tutorial:Gridlocked_Player function love.load() math.randomseed(os.time()) interval = 2 tick = 0 player = { grid_x = 256, grid_y = 256, act_...

Yes - from a logic standpoint I'm on the same page with you. I just don't know how to trigger the code. I assume I'd create a function, function wander() -- generate random number -- if its in a certain range, do something -- determine direction -- etc end But how do I call this? How do I call it ev...

Soooooooo, this seems incredibly elementary, and yet I'm just not sure how to get started. I've used the great tutorial about a Gridlocked Player . But lets say I want that 'player' to do something. Perhaps to sometimes move a space in a random direction. Is there a tutorial or some info on this? Wo...

Give me some examples

While every programmer might have a different approach, and every application might have its own path, I'm curious to hear how people tackle smallish löve applications. Every project starts somewhere, and then is built upon and built upon. What's the first small milestone (a static welcome screen, o...

I noticed that the code I posted performs differently on two systems. Perhaps this is related to processor speed difference? Is it possible to combine these approaches? To code it so that it moves toward a target, and includes dt as well? Can someone break down 'dt' and how it works in this code? I ...

Awesome, thanks. Here's the code that I came up with (much of it cribbed from the previously mentioned tutorial) -- simplemovement function love.load() rect = { x = 100, y = 100, width = 100, height = 100, targetX = 700, targetY = 500, dragging = { active = false, diffX = 0, diffY = 0 } } end functi...

Hi folks. I'm brand new to lua and Love, and have been doing hobbyist PHP for a while before I realized that I wanted a 2d environment. Apologies if this is clearly covered somewhere - I've been through the tutorials and dug through documentation and forums.. I'm still super early in the learning pr...
