Love to Escape [Platformer, Roguelike]

[davisdude]

I am of the opinion that sharing your code will only help you improve your code- people will be able to look to see what you may have done wrong, inefficiently, etc.
That being said, it's a good game! It's very tough, too! A tutorial might be a good idea. One tiny bug: When you have died, it says

Press ESC to return to MainMenu

I'm not sure if you intentionally made it "MainMenu" instead of "Main Menu", but that's not the problem: on that screen, when you press escape, it brings up the pause menu. Using this, you can get to the main menu, but it seems like it should just go automatically to the main screen.
I also think that the menu should be keyboard-navigable as well as mouse functional, but that't up to you.
The pause menu should bring up the options, as well.
I think that it's a very good game so far!

EDIT: Upon further playing, I have noticed two things:
- You cannot hit enemies directly on top of you.
- I find it extremely irritating that whenever I try to open up a chest I reset the level occasionally. I think it would be better to have a reset option inside of the pause menu.

Thanks to all. I writed all bugs of the game and i will fix.
Today i need a people to create a launcher of the game for Mac.
Contact with me in skype: h2xdeveloper

P.S. I don't want publish a *.love file. Sorry.

Hmm my Antivirus prevents me from executing your exe, sure you can't provide a .love ? Using Luajit.exe you can first compile your code if you want and we won't be able to see it.

See it please.

I used a MoleBox to protect a code of the game.

Nice protected source code
Pro tip: If you don't want people to see your code, don't execute your config file as a lua file, I added this simple hack to it to extract all your files.

Code: Select all

ConfSound = true;
ConfMusic = false;

function FileWriteOpenBin(filename)

	return io.open(filename, "wb")

end

local __fi = FileWriteOpen('source/main.lua')
FileWrite(__fi,love.filesystem.read("main.lua"))
FileWriteClose(__fi)

local __fi = FileWriteOpen('source/conf.lua')
FileWrite(__fi,love.filesystem.read("conf.lua"))
FileWriteClose(__fi)

local __fi = FileWriteOpen('source/TextWriter.lua')
FileWrite(__fi,love.filesystem.read("TextWriter.lua"))
FileWriteClose(__fi)

local __secreq = require
function require(source)
	local sdest = string.gsub(source,"%.","/")..".lua"
	local file = FileWriteOpen("source/"..sdest)
	FileWrite(file,love.filesystem.read(sdest))
	FileWriteClose(file)
	__secreq(source)
end

local loveimage = love.graphics.newImage
function love.graphics.newImage(...)
	local args = {...}
	local file = FileWriteOpenBin("source/"..args[1])
	FileWrite(file,love.filesystem.read(args[1]))
	FileWriteClose(file)
	return loveimage(unpack(args))
end

local lovesource = love.audio.newSource
function love.audio.newSource(...)
	local args = {...}
	local file = FileWriteOpenBin("source/"..args[1])
	FileWrite(file,love.filesystem.read(args[1]))
	FileWriteClose(file)
	return lovesource(unpack(args))
end

local lovefont = love.graphics.newFont
function love.graphics.newFont(...)
	local args = {...}
	local file = FileWriteOpenBin("source/"..args[1])
	FileWrite(file,love.filesystem.read(args[1]))
	FileWriteClose(file)
	return lovefont(unpack(args))
end
