What's everyone working on? (tigsource inspired)

[gtothereal]

Im Creating a game based on gravity and teleporation for my vocational class. Im new too lua and love and programming in general. I think i've earn the title of biggest noob on the site. i'll be taking my crown now.

I seem to have mistaken the thread title "Re: What's everyone working on? (tigsource inspired)" as part of your post. Oops! Whatever, I'm dumb.

As you can tell from my player sprite, I'm not a very good artist. Like, at all.

Completed my bullet behaviour scripting.

Code: Select all

-- syntax to create a bullet:
mybullet = Bullet(sprite, position, spriteRadius, hitboxRadius, events)
-- the events table is an array of {time, func} items.
-- the func will execute when the bullet's lifetime exceeds time.
-- the bullet also has a backend "updatefuncs" table, which contains functions that are executed on every bullet update
-- you add functions to it by making an event at 0.
-- here's an example bullet:
Bullet(self.files.gfx.bullet, Vector(math.random(50, 450), math.random(50, 450)), 8, 4, {
  {0, function(self) -- executes on first bullet update
    self.updatefuncs.move = function(self, dt)
      self:modPosition(Vector(100, 100):rotate(self.angle) * dt) -- move in our direction for 100 pixels per second
    end
    self.updatefuncs.updateangle = function(self, dt)
      local add = math.pi * dt -- move half a turn a second
      if math.floor(self.lifetime) % 2 == 0 then -- if an odd second
        add = -add -- negate the angle to add
      end
      self.angle = self.angle + add -- change the direction
    end
    self.updatefuncs.outofbounds = function(self)
      if self:outOfBounds(550, 550) then -- 550x550 is the size of the game field
        self.remove = true -- the Game class removes the bullet later on
      end
    end
    self.color = Color(math.random(200, 255), math.random(200, 255), math.random(200, 255), 255) -- needs more fabulous
  end},
  {5, function(self) -- executes after five seconds of lifetime
    self.updatefuncs.move = function(self, dt) -- you can override the old updatefuncs!
      self:modPosition(Vector(200, 200):rotate(self.angle) * dt) -- move in our direction for 200 pixels per second
    end
    self.color = Color(math.random(200, 255), math.random(200, 255), math.random(200, 255), 255) -- why not?
  },
})

I realise that this approach may be ...scary. Any feedback is appreciated.

remember my last post on this thread here
well i have progressed and finished the tile loader, scrolling and player movement.
Once again i hit a wall with collisions code but im building a library or two to make things easier for me

that is what it looks like at the moment

Hey. I just wanted to properly say hi, as I've popped in a few times for advice and am hoping to stay around more since I'm using Love almost daily.

I'm working on a game for TIGsource's almost-closed VERSUS competition. It's a two-player Roguelike; my first complete game, really (when it's, uh, complete...).

Added the ol' avatar to feel more at home. Just wanted to thank the community for being so cool so far.

Just finished and posted version 2.7 of my gravity game.
