100 Comments! Btw this piece of work is just soooooooooooo amazing. I never fought, that with Love2D you can create this masterpiece!

Short update before I go to bed: I've been working on more graphics. Behold, the hospital, the playground, and - my favourite - the pie-store! There's also a school, but it's not on this image.
Also, the first challenges are completed! I might get another full version out by this weekend.
In the meantime, there's some pretty fierce battles going on on the server between javra and jonyzz...

Thanks!
Yes, the Engine is great!

I don't know the person personally... just his friend. But the image upload service is great. If only it would allow multiple images!

Just noticed that AI phoenix's pathfinding algorithm is B* (Breath First Search or Best First Search). Ah, I'm having a hard time implementing A*...

Speaking of which, I noticed that some implementations take too long to compute and are aborted during their search by my game. This usually happens with larger maps.
Any experience or thoughts on this? I can't give the AIs much more time to compute, otherwise it'll slow down the game much more. Or should I rather limit the maximum amount of trains and give more time to each train's computation instead? Or force players to do more pre-computation in ai.init (where they already have 10 times as much time)
Does any one have thoughts/ideas on this?

It is actually slightly modified Dijkstra's algorithm

What about function that returns percentage of time the AI used for computation. It could be used like this:
Code: Select all
while not pathfindingFinished and getAITimeUsage() < 0.95 do
-- One step of algorithm
end

... yep, that's why you always find the shortest distance (without using u-turns).

Awesome idea. Will think about this.
It's not "time" that I'm giving you, it's the number of "lua-code-lines" or something like that. Otherwise, the AI would have less time on different PCs - and since my server is a Raspberry Pi and is slower than most average Computers, the AI would run on users' PCs but not on the server...
But still, a function like getLinesLeft() would be quite useful!

Modified the Graphics and added Challenge maps!
Added buildings (all hotspots): Store, Cinema, Hospital, School, Playground
Added a new Region Setting: "Urban"!
In this region, there's a lot more passengers. This means that if you use the "Rushhour" gamemode on an "Urban" Map, you'll have tons and tons of VIPS...

Are you making this all by yourself???

can i suggest a scaling function? Please.
