Re: Space Escape

Congrats on the milestone! Looks interesting I'll have to give it a go this evening. I've managed to renege on my plan to release something on Steam for about the fourth year on the trot now but it's always inspiring seeing other people do it :) Do you have any ideas for your next project or just g...

Re: Space Escape

Congrats! Can you provide some up-to-date tips on Steam integration? Honestly I didn't really do any. I might add achievements at some point though. As far as publishing / deploying it - The technical side of it was kind of hard for me to grasp at first. The steamworks backend is not terrible, but ...

Re: Using love while learning c++

My advice is to pick a specific project that you would like to accomplish. It can be over-ambitious (game engine) or low-stakes (pong). It doesn't necessarily need to be achievable at first, it just needs to not be "learn c++". Your goal is "do <something> via c++". It's through...

Re: Using love while learning c++

Not saying that you shouldn't learn C++, only you can know what's important for you. But for you to consider learning C# instead. This would let you use Godot , Unity etc. And C# is much closer to C++ than Lua is, so you will be closing the distance in any case. For sure - My main goal is to learn ...

Re: Get the dimensions of the overlapping section of two rectangles

If you are sure, the rectangles overlap, you can find it this way. Imagine some situation: +--------------+ | | | +--------+ | | | | | | | | | +--|--------|--+ | | +--------+ Now we can see, that if we want to get x of overlap, it is math.max(x1, x2) where x1 and x2 are x positions of two rectangle...

Get the dimensions of the overlapping section of two rectangles

I'm trying to get the width and height of the overlapping section of two rectangles (assuming the rectangles can't rotate). For example, if there is a player and a platform, I can check if they are overlapping. if player.x + player.width > platform.x and player.x < platform.x + platform.width and pl...
