[...] One problem though. I notice that when running my game, the thread constantly stalls for a quarter of a second. I traced this down to the client:receive() call on line 540 here: https://github.com/rxi/lovebird/blob/master/lovebird.lua It might be worth making the lua socket calls asynchronous...

Lovebird is a browser-based debug console for LÖVE. https://www.love2d.org/w/images/9/9a/lovebird_0.3.0pre_screenshot.png Check out the README for instructions on how to get it set up. The github repo is over here: https://github.com/rxi/lovebird Once you have it running you can enter lua commands ...

http://concernedjoe.com/devblog/misc-monday-34-shiny-crowns-and-real-time-shaders/ Writing shaders is a lot easier when you can instantly see the changes you're making. Holy cow - I want!... My library lurker provides this functionality and can be used the exact same way on shaders as is demonstrat...

I had some function ideas for Lume: [...] polygonScale(polygon, x, y) // Scales a polygon polygonTranslate(polygon, x, y) // translate a polygon getPolygonBoundingBox(polygon) // returns the polygon bounding box. derp [...] getFontSize(font, text) // the same as doing "font:getWidth(text), fon...

https://love2d.org/imgmirrur/fpr9VCV.gif Lurker Updates ...my only suggestion is to add a screen/warning for syntax errors, the console notification is nice but sometimes it's easy to miss... This is now the default behaviour. If lurker tries to load a file with a syntax error, assuming it's in pro...

I'm sorry if I'm annoying you, I definitely like the way lurker does things. I'm just being a bit over-inquisitive, I guess. :) I suppose what I had in mind wasn't reloading the whole project, but only reconstructing the object that has a change in its constructor. Although now that I think about i...

Yes, I get that. But what if the gravity or bullet speed is set up in an object constructor? Then, the program is already running, and the object is already constructed with the previous values. Then the quick tweak would be ineffective, correct me if I'm wrong. Then you recreate the object -- If i...

but is there a way for you to add a call that reloads the entire project? so that whatever is changed in there is reconstructed (at least that's what it seems like). I'm getting the sense you may be misunderstanding the purpose of lurker: the fact that the entire project is not reloaded was the poi...

This new version doesn't work on my project anymore. After using lurker.scan once another scan is never triggered whenever I press the key I set to scan. Whoops. I was just about to head off to bed but I think I managed to find the bug, haven't tested this version out yet so I've not pushed it to t...

Now, the question is whether I use this or this, or some combination of the two. I believe lurker and lovedebug provide completely different functionality, I'd say give both of them a shot to see which one offers you what you want :) -- to get lurker up and running you just copy two files to your p...
