thanks man, that works! just gotta figure out how exactly it works so i can take advantage of it. but i think i get the basic idea here.

I've been trying to make a 2d minecraft/terraria like thing for the last few days. but can't really figure it out. for now i'm just going for placing blocks with the mouse, I'll think about world generation/characters and stuff like that later/never. So far i've managed to create a single block with...

I think you want integer division. Lua doesn't have that, but it can floor numbers: block_x = math.floor(x / BLOCK_SIZE) * BLOCK_SIZE Doing this, you can pretend you don't work with pixels, but with blocks. If you actually have those blocks, it becomes even simpler: block_x = math.floor(x / BLOCK_S...

What i'm trying to do is when you click with the mouse on the screen, it creates a rectangle, But instead of having it exactly where the mouse was clicked it would adjust itself to a grid. is there any simple way to do that? if not is there any complicated way to do it? lol

you don't need to make an account, just press the big "PopGame.love" around the top of the page

So this is basically the closest thing to a game i've made, And i started playing around with love just a couple days ago. But i have some experience with coding so it wasn't too hard to get started. But yeah, The game is called Pop. And the objective is simple, It generates a dot at a random locati...

that works. Thanks. But i got a followup question, When i print the value, it prints a number like xx.xxxxxxxxx, Is there a way to make it only print the number before the dot?
