Jack in a Box, tiny platformer 'base' for 0.6

[Fizzadar]

This is my first 'game' as it were, although it's more a base on which I'm going to build. Feel free to peek under the hood, it has a simple hook, map and entity system I wrote, plus a few other bits and pieces of code. It's my first time using Love, although I've used Lua before for GMod.

It works, yay!

edit: upgraded all the code a lot, got a tester map with a proper background and a lot of test block entities to push around. I set the player to be able to infinite jump too, for testing.

Nice to be the first time
Is it just me or is the player supposed to run extreamly fast?

Not that fast, well, reasonably fast, but I'll limit it. There's also jumping, which currently is x times a second you can jump, I need to do some sort of tracing or something to see if they are 'off ground'.

I love the ascii art in your main.lua

Thanks, I always add that to the 'main' file of projects, no idea why XD

Opens a black screen that does nothing, will not respond to input.

No errors reported on console, same console output as when I run a working love file (eg no.love).

(running on PPC debian stable, love 0.5)

re-read the title

rofl... I was just so excited that I stopped reading after 'platformer'.

Not looked at 0.6 yet, but (in 0.5 parlance) maybe something like:

Code: Select all

if love.system.getVersion()~='0.6.0' then
  print('you need love 0.6.0 to run this game')
end
