Re: Kurosuke (working title)
Using the Window key on Windows isn't a viable option. That is, unless people love looking at their stupid start menus.

Isn't there a way to check the user's OS and alter the default accordingly?TechnoCat wrote:Using the Window key on Windows isn't a viable option. That is, unless people love looking at their stupid start menus.
Do you recognise when the world won't stop for you? Or when the days don't care what you've got to do? When the weight's too tough to lift up, what do you? Don't let them choose for you, that's on you.

Hell no. Isn't it better to just let the player pick what keys they want to use, if you're going to do something fancy anyway?Lafolie wrote:Isn't there a way to check the user's OS and alter the default accordingly?

Re: Kurosuke (working title)
I think it was more about choosing defaults that apply to the current OS. Last I used Löve's "What is the OS I am on" thing it returned OS X as Linux. And now I can't even remember how to get it anymore. So I don't know if it was fixed.
I mean obviously you have to have defaults. It's bad practice to force the player to configure their game right out of the box. They should be able to jump in without having to configure right from the start.
But yes, make sure you offer configuration.

Re: Kurosuke (working title)
You could do some trickery with os.execute or os.getenv to determine the current OS. If/when LuaJIT becomes a standard part of LÖVE it has a jit.os string that will tell you.

If you do that, you better check for their existence first, as it would leave SELÖVE users unable to play the game otherwise.slime wrote:You could do some trickery with os.execute or os.getenv to determine the current OS.

Re: Kurosuke (working title)
Does SELOVE restrict loading external lua files? I'm thinking about making packs of extra levels, and I don't want SELOVErs to be left out.Robin wrote:If you do that, you better check for their existence first, as it would leave SELÖVE users unable to play the game otherwise.slime wrote:You could do some trickery with os.execute or os.getenv to determine the current OS.

What do you mean by external? If you have access to it using love.filesystem, it'll work.tentus wrote:Does SELOVE restrict loading external lua files?

Exactly. If you're not doing anything crazy, SELÖVE lets you do it.

Updated to work in 0.8.0. Please keep an eye out for anything I missed. I promise I will pick this project back up at some point, life has been keeping me too busy lately.
