and that is the thing that makes that method interesting for developing roguelikes (just to emulate old style school rogues).Robin wrote:You could of course use ,/;:\={}()-_=+!@#$%^&*~`'"?<>| as well.
It can be ~30/40 ish cell types per level, rather than for the entire game, if you include a table with your level file that translates the symbols to cell types. Symbols not specified in the table could refer to some default instead. Unique cell types can be specified in the level file itself, etc.spirulence wrote: Interesting. I hadn't thought of doing that.

In my 2.92 Duo Intel Mac the 60 FPS drops to 30/25 FPS when selecting an unit and then raises to 40. Returns to 60 when i Unselect/click outside map. Not an expert on this, but considering the kind of operation in cause and that this should be an low demanding turn based game problably there is some routine draining somewhere?bartoleo wrote:What are your FPS?
I've updated source and .loveOr, in the case of the default font,
love.graphics.setFont(size)
This latter method is however strongly discouraged. Each time setFont is called without a font object, a new font object is created. Doing so each frame will use up a huge amount of RAM. It's okay if you use it once, but doing it multiple times is a bad idea. Instead, try this:
myFont = love.graphics.newFont(size)
love.graphics.setFont(myFont) -- you can use this line each frame without eating too much memory
Yah, you got it! Stable 60's FPS now!bartoleo wrote:Found it!
