Well, I don't feel ready to post a love file yet Love file has been posted, but I decided to make a sort of "Dev Log" for my
LoveFest III game.
Here's a list of features:
- Player controls (Moving, shooting, and shielding)
- Scrolling background.
- Enemies with health and a simple movement script.
- Damage.
- Asteroids.
- Tutorial intro screen.
- "Tutorial" level.
- Real intro screen.
- Big Red Button.
- Powerup system.
- Other assorted cool(?) stuff
I've attached some screenshots.
Screenshots are out of date, see newer posts for newer screenshots
Just play the demo.
I'm almost ready to implement The Big Red Button, the main "Chance" element of the game 
Big Red Button is done
Good luck,
Nsmurf
P.S.
Here's the lovefest submission thing:

Pretty nice! As I said in the Lovefest III thread, I won't be telling the name of my game. I do have experience with OOP so I could probably make mine a bit more optimized
Hint : Part Strategy, Part Chance

No screenshot, but I'm willing to post some code on my powerup system.
Basically it enumerates the 'powerup' directory, and stores all the files inside it in a table. It gets a random value from that table, and then runs it with love.filesystem.load().
This allows me to create as many powerups as I want, and have them automatically added to the game without any unnecessary code!
This is actually salvaged code from an old project, but still very useful!
Here is the code currently located in powerup.lua:
Code: Select all
function getpowerups(dir)
powerups = love.filesystem.enumerate(dir)
return powerups[math.random(#powerups)]
end
function runpowerup()
powerupc = love.filesystem.load('powerup/'..getpowerups('powerup'))
powerupc()
end
All you need to do is call runpowerup() and it will run a random powerup from the 'powerup' directory.
Here is an example powerup:
I am considering creating a powerup lib after the lovefest is over. what do other people think about that?

Added a text output thinggie for displaying what The Big Red Button did.
As soon as I get 10-15 or so powerups (I have 4 now), I'll post a demo!

Prepare for a epic boss battle!
Think "Alien mother ship"
Also think "Insanely hard"
