I'm hoping for some advice on a strange bug caused by a inexplicable interaction between the video library in love2d and my own code. At some point in my program, I play a video. If the video has played and finished playing, a later line of my own code causes a crash. If the video hasn't finished pl...

I thought I'd share how I solved this in the end, as it wasn't simple. I tried to roll my own saving routines based on modified versions of this sort of code , but whether I gradually concatenate the values into a string and then save it to file, or append the values to file one by one, the results ...

That was so brain-dead of me! Thank you so much for spotting my silly mistake!

Sadly, although this now "works", it seems that although this library is much faster than my own code, it also crashes when attempting to serialise very large tables.

I need to save a very large table to file so that I can read it back in later. Bitser doesn't work for very large tables . I have tried to roll my own saving routines based on modified versions of this sort of code , but whether I gradually concatenate the values into a string and then save it to fi...

Great, thanks everyone!

Thanks Robin, and everyone else who's been helping! If it does turn out this isn't going to be a job for Bitser, I have made a plan B. I would output a file actually in .lua format, declaring a table, and then just require the file to re-import it. The file would be bigger than necessary as it would...

Thanks a lot for the suggestions folks. If I'm going to have to write code for streaming, I might as well roll my own routines for all of this - I'd prefer to do neither. Here is minimal code which recreates the bug. Run it, wait a few seconds, press escape, run it again, press r. Advice to whether ...

Hi all! I need to be able to save and load a very large amount of data, because I want to be able to do in-game replays of games that have already been played. So as I draw each object, I save the time, location, identity, etc, to a table, and when the game is over, I use bitser (https://github.com/...
