Platformer Game using PHSYICS!!!

[TylertheDesigner]

I need some help from the Love veterans. I am not a very good programmer, and seem to have hit a bug I am unable to fix. Occasionally, when the player moves through to a new tile, the program crashes. I assume this is an issue with the physics, but I have tried everything I could think of. As it stands right now, whenever you switch locations it destroys all of the physics shapes from the last tile and builds new ones for the new tile. The link to the game is here:

Just a quick fyi to the love community- this game was submitted into the IGF. Also, I have been hounding a group of publishers regarding getting it officially released next year. HOORAY! I just hope I can fix that damned crash bug soon

Ouuuch! Did the LOVE community helped after all a future commercial project? This is against Love beliefs, we gonna all burn in hell, bad karma, bad karma...

Congratulations! That game is beautiful
Also: what crashes?

This is against Love beliefs

How do you figure? Nobody said that.

Yeah, we need a bit more to give suggestions. Though if you are actually using the :destroy() method for shapes - don't.
Instead move your shapes outside the physics world and remove the references to them and let the garbage collecting pick them up(but this is just a guess of what even the problem might be).

Whut..? Several members are working or have been working on commercial projects. I don't know anyone here who doesn't approve of commercializing games made using Löve.

Ok sorry, I ask apologize to those I offended. It was to be percepted as a self-joke to the usual belief and defense by this community of Love's open-source spirit with free and gratutious distribution, no encrypt, no compile, and the other attached concepts. I will "retract my fangs".

I would love to receive any help from the LoVe community on this. The commercial release is not definite in any respect, but it is a possibility. If you guys would like the source to the game, you know how to get it (and I can make a zip for you guys in particular)

I thought arquivista's comment was only tongue in cheek... anyway, I seem to be unable to download your game, Tyler.

Which link are you attempting to use Robin?
