I'd like to note this doesn't work, because love.filesystem.write doesn't append You're right, should've waited until I could looks at my stuff. Here's some of my actual code: function mapSave(map) mapfile = love.filesystem.newFile(map) mapfile:open('w') for i,v in ipairs(background) do mapfile:wri...

It's not tile based but I do something that looks like this: when making objects in editor: makeThing(x,y,a,def) local t = {} t.x = x t.y = y t.a = a t.d = def (do the stuff that actually makes the object) table.insert(things,t) then it saves like this: for i,v in ipairs(things) do love.filesystem.w...

This is 0.8.0 right? I had a working rope joint demo in January but I just tried to load it up and the rope segments fall away as if they aren't connected. When I had it working it looks like I was using local points, which would make more sense IMO but I feel like they're supposed to be world coord...

I'll probably write up something more organized for the wiki once 0.8.0 is officially done, there's still a possibility of things changing before then.

Voxel literally means volume-pixel, so pixels are to vector art as voxels are to polygon art.

Some isometric games use a terrain system that is essentially voxels, but I don't think that's what you mean.
I like voxel stuff but I can't really see much happening with it within Löve.

Apart from the major API changes, there are several functions that have been renamed, here's my notes from updating some of my stuff to 0.8.0: -world is now defined as (gravityx,gravityy,allowsleep) -shapes no longer have a body param -creating a fixture references a shape and body -almost all funct...

It works pretty well but I did have weird things happen a couple of times, as molul suggested the upper bound and jumping should be fixed. I'm a little confused by the actual method of collision detection, is "solid" a table of all solid blocks? because I'm pretty sure there are much more ...

Regarding showing off / talking to friends about your project, on average this is actually a bad thing. Basically presenting your work / idea tricks you into feeling like you've actually done work on it. (There was a study looking specifically at this, sadly I can't find a link) I feel more motivate...

I just have a config file that contains this: upKey = 'w' downKey = 's' rightKey = 'd' leftKey = 'a' jumpKey = ' ' and all references within the game use the key variables I defined instead of the actual key values. If the config file doesn't exist it generates one with default values. If you're mak...

I like to have a dead zone where the camera doesn't pan. For In The Dark it only pans the camera if the player is outside of the center third of the screen (vertically or horizontally) and pans at a rate based on the square root of the distance needed to get the player within the dead zone. The upsi...
