Physics-based arena shooter

Thanks for that.

Are you using Lua JIT or something? It sounds like something is messing with some of the more advanced tricks I'm using with metatables, at least in the case of the setMass problem.

[Positive07]

Nope just LOVE 8.0 im trying the last version right now just to check

EDIT: SetMass I really hate it you know

[BlackBulletIV]

Well, I've got no idea then. I guess I need to get around to testing the game on Windows.

I have no problems on Windows 7 x64

I have no problems on Windows 7 x64

For what it's worth, same for me here. I tried it many times, did some silly stuff, it didn't crashed. I'm on Windows 7x86.

[BlackBulletIV]

Yeah, I just tested it on Windows 7 x64 and no problems occurred. The only other thing I can think is that Positive07 is using Windows XP and LOVE has some kind of a bug on it.

[Positive07]

Nope but may be my video card has. Dont even bother! for what I can see Its great

Difficult to play in a netbook or notebook with the pad though

Looks great!

I'm on windows XP, no problems except canvas support, and i didn't feel like testing it with my live ubuntu USB just for motion blur.

my high score is 170.

All in all, great game, just a couple of things to make it better:

feel free to disregard any of these, they're just suggestions.

• Add more types of enemies
• Add a health bar
• Show the mouse during the menu
• Better graphics

anyways, great job, it's quite fun!

[BlackBulletIV]

Thanks for your feedback. I plan to work on all your listed points, except for showing the mouse in the menu. In the game's current state, showing the mouse would have no functional value, and giving mouse support to the menu items would make things a lot more technical.

Anyway, for the mean time I haven't been doing much with this as I've been focusing more on my long-term side project (Illusive Dreams).

[BlackBulletIV]

Alright, here's a new version. Here's what I've done (what I remember of it anyway):

• Debug console!
• Indicator of lives left.
• New scoring system with multi-kill support. I'll probably be updating this in the near future.
• Camera shakes when missiles explode (relative to the player's distance from the explosion of course).
• Missiles no longer explode when hitting shrapnel or enemy chunks.
• A number of visual tweaks.

I also worked out how to exclude the .git directories from the zip file, greatly reducing its size.

Enjoy!
