As you don't have any update logic yet, mole will always be wherever you spawn it, in this case 100, 500. Since you are new to love, one simple but effective suggestion I have is that hard-coded integers are usually not going to be helpful down the road. Consider something like the following: --keep...

Anyway, here's a small project that could help you understand how to solve the problem. (See the attachment.) It is honestly embarrassing how simple this looks, after I spent an entire day banging my head against it to no avail. The elusive chunk of code I needed: local handDistance = math.sqrt(HAN...

In my top-down shooter, the player holds a gun in their right hand, and bullets need to spawn from that location regardless of the player's angle. I stumbled across this thread and this thread , however both of these seem vastly overcomplicated for what I'm trying to achieve (I tried both anyway and...

Hi - I'm somewhat new to coding and wondering about the same issue of object collection. For some reason when I download the two .love files in the thread above, I'm not able to open them, with love or with VSC. If anyone can advise me on a possible solution so I can benefit from the advice/help al...

The colors of the pixels in the texture are multiplied with the colors set by :setColors() (and love.graphics.setColor). The texture has to be grayscale if you want to control the color with :setColors() exclusively. Technically you can change the color in any way you want with custom shaders, but ...

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how the :setColors method for particle systems works. The documentation seems to imply this method will override the colors from the initial sprite ("apply them to the sprite" ?) and use the specified values instead, but I've not seen any effect. My game is a p...

-- spawn particles local direction = 0 local increment = (math.pi*2) / numberOfParticles for i = 1, numberOfParticles do psystem:setDirection ( direction ) psystem:emit (1) direction = direction + increment end So essentially instead of using setLinearAcceleration(), you manually go through the ang...

Hi. I've been working on my first LOVE2D project for a week or so and I'm trying to add some simple particle effects to the game. The problem is that every emission call during the game results in particles shooting out on a specific axis , while the particles should just shoot out of the zombie's p...
