How do I make it so I can keep my game pixel-perfect scaled 2x at any resolutions?

I've tried with Canvases and HUMP.camera, and it can draw, but I can't manage to change the size of the canvas any higher than the resolution the window had when I created the canvas first. Even if I create the canvas again, it just gets stuck at 800x600 (default resolution of my game)

Any ideas?

Canvases won't "resize", you need to create a new one to use in place of the old-sized one when resizing your game window... for your purposes, anyway.

Well, that's the problem, the new canvas won't go any higher than 800x600, even if you resize the screen

EDIT: Nevermind, it was a completely unrelated issue. Already fixed it

Is there any way to get around the inability to draw a canvas onto itself without forking love?

The effort bar is coming close to being reached for self implementation of ping-pong rendering

LÖVE 0.9 allowed it. That caused one of my first questions in the forum. https://www.love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=81251

Basically, OpenGL doesn't support it.

More specifically, physical GPU hardware doesn't support it.

How is world gravity measured in love.physics? Is it meters per second per second? Setting the world gravity to (0, 9.8) feels really floaty, what's going on?

Not so much that as its just not defined in the spec IIRC creating undefined behavior.
