I recently came across Love(2d) and I totally love it. I searched the documentation and found that there is something called

Code: Select all

t.window.msaa

in conf.lua.

What is Msaa and what should be the value that I must set it to be so that it renders good graphics without slowing down the app.

I believe either 0 or 1 is fastest that does not smooth lines, and depending on video card, the maximum may be 2,4,8 or 16; though I found that a value of 16 blurs the default 12 point sized font as well.

Thanks. Sorry for the Late reply. But what would be a good balance for a simple platformer game ?

Probably doesn't matter. Seriously. You can set it to a minimum, it won't make that much of a difference.
