That file is there in the github, you might have got an incomplete download.

Looks nice!

No frame rate issues at all. I get ~500 FPS with Löve (64-bit Windows) and ~400 FPS with Löve+LuaJIT (32-bit Windows).

Thanks, hopefully I will continue to have time to work on this. My biggest hurdle is re-doing camera code, im not sure why its working incorrectly. It should be letting the player free move when the camera is at the edge of the map, and then as the player moves and gets to the center it should start scrolling the map again. It should also be scrolling the same speed as the player but that is not working correctly as well.

Yeah, I'm getting the 500FPS too
The camera is the only problem for me. I think it looks really cool though. Nice graphics, good transition tiles.
Cool looking monsters and the movement is good as well. Collisions work as expected.
Overall very good for a work in progress!

Hopefully you didnt just download it, Ive been working on a redo of the camera and player class's and the last commit has it all messed up.

Just a quick tip how-to to handle big changes in a public repository gracefully and how to *not* mess up your current repository:


From inside your "master" branch create a new "experimental" branch:

Code: Select all

$ git checkout -b experimental

It will be an exact copy of "master".

You can switch back and forth between the two branches and see in which branch your are with:

Code: Select all

$ git checkout master
Switched to branch 'master'

$ git branch
  experimental
* master

When you are in experimental you make all your changes and commit them as always, you can push then to github with:

Code: Select all

$ git push origin experimental

Now you have two branches on github, with a hopefully well working master and an experimental branch where you test your stuff and break your repo whenever you want

When you tested and decided that the code in experimental is working well, you can commit all changes and merge it to master:

Code: Select all

$ git checkout master
Switched to branch 'master'

$ git merge experimental
$ git push origin master

Voila!

Ok, camera code is working correctly now!!!. I am also using a proper camera class now, so i should be able to add effects later on such as screen shake, and some lighting effects( example would be at night with a torch).
