LÖVE

hello!!

i'm sending my first game written in love just to say hi
game is pretty simple based on something i saw on the internet.
try to kick ( click ) the ball as many times as you can before it hits the ground. it gets difficult to get each next kick
i hope i'll find some time and energy to write more and more playable games,

while writing i found one possible bug: when i put code like "g.setFont(g.getFont(40))" in draw callback the game crashes after couple of kicks ( win7 )
(g = love.graphics)

hope you like it

That's no bug, that's you creating an entire font every single frame!

EDIT:
Ugh, external download site, wrongly packaged, and dofile instead of require breaking it.. here's a version that works.

hm, i zipped it with instructions on wiki, i'll try do better next time

Also note that you can upload your games to the forums if they are smaller than 10 MB. Feel free to hotlink it as well.

Well if it's not a bug, it's a faulty interface. setFont(number) should either be removed or modified so it does internal caching.

That's debatable. It works fine if you only set a font once, which is great for quick and simple prototyped games.

For more advanced games you would be juggling with font objects anyway.
