Re: What makes a popular game?

I just giggled there ... You just summed up just about every possible game in existence :P Problem is the generalization in your 3 points. 1. Great Graphics. This is highly subject to opinion. For example I very much dislike the graphics style in lets say ... a Fallout New Vegas especially outside t...

The way it visualized and reprented the data to me was very appealing not to mention easy to read so I was curious if something was available for Löve but didn't encounter anything.

Re: Question about distribution.

This will certainly make any kind of LOVE made server/client game a lot more difficult to protect from hackers. Not really as your supposed to do anything important on the server and normally you are in control of the server so no cheating can happen. And in this case your only worry is cheating. A...

Also no matter how much encryption, encoding or byte-coding you can do the evil guys that really want your functionality will get to it no matter what. As long as someones computer can interpret the program so can the human being handling it.

Re: What format are screenshots written in?

Try something along the lines of:

Code: Select all

		s = love.graphics.newScreenshot()
		d = love.image.newEncodedImageData( s, "bmp" )
		success = love.filesystem.write( "screenshot.bmp", d)

Re: Idea: RichText

Well animation aren't really needed in rich text . Rotation however I can see some useful applications there. Color is indeed easily doable. With regards to HTML as a backing language I'm not sure.

Re: Idea: RichText

I actually like the whole rich text idea ... a lot. As I'll most likely be able to use it in some way or another. I'm not entirely sure about the syntax at all since this subject can debated for ages. rt = rich.new{"Hello, {big}world! {smile}", big = bigFont, smile = smileyImage} Seems to ...

Re: terrible performance

I have the same exact "issue". And slightly better computer specs.
