Nope, it means self.lifetime < 5.002445.*

Depending on context, it could probably be replaced with

Code: Select all

and (self.lifetime < 5.002445 or math.random(self.lifetime / 10) == 1) then
or something

*Value found by experimentation: math.random(5.002445 / 10) is the highest value that errors

Hmm, yeah. I noticed that the only time the game ran, the number being printed (Via my added print() line) was always 6 or higher.

Huh, cool, that's easy to fix. it just means that math.random() is getting a number that it "perceives" as 1, and when you only feed math.random() one number it treats the other index as 1, therefore there is no interval. Will do it tonight I hope.

The game takes so long to load because of the map generation process. You get a nice readout in the console if you run it from a CLI, and in windows.

I think the main love page should have a screenshot from this and Ten-Second War to showcase what can be made with love. This is a great project.

I'm working on it on and off (mostly off at the moment, I have a lot of other stuff to do) but the next thing planned is some form of GUI for more casual players, and then likely some optimisation. Glad you're enjoying it.
