The variable currentAnim is a global variable that is shared by player.lua and polly.lua . Do not use globals for animations, but class fields instead: function Polly:animations() -- loads in animations local g = self.grid self.idle = anim8.newAnimation(g(("1-4"), 1), 0.1) self.runAnim = a...

Setting occupied = false at the beginning of the loop will fix the issue: --snake.lua, starting from line 137 local occupied = false repeat occupied = false newfood_position = {math.random(1,25),math.random(1,25)} for i,v in pairs(snake.all_positions) do if v.x == newfood_position[1] and v.y == newf...

I notice not all segments 'move' - either a bug or your algorithm keeps moving the same three points because that reaches success the fastest? I think this is a limitation of growing a convex shape point by point. If you have a few points on a line (or nearly on a line) it is very hard to move thos...

You can just use brute force. This will work within a few attempts (most of the time). I attached a simple example.

Just a small nitpick: Just keep in the green, cyan or magenta areas. You cannot move point A into the magenta area, because this would decrease the overall area of the polygon which is against togFoxs first point: Starting with the square, each time the player receives a reward, two segments (or one...

How can I make a game like duskers? Specifically the map generation (universe and ship generation). How would you generate those two things with pen and paper? This should give you an idea how to write an algorithm. My first instinct: universe generation Temporarily place a point on a random spot o...

Roughly, it would consist of this. If you use love.keypressed/keyreleased/textinput, you need to record the call with all the parameters that you use, together with their timestamp. The timestamp would be a variable updated by love.update(). If you use joystick callbacks, same thing. In love.update...

You iterate over all shops in love.update, but you use the same variable to determine a collision. And this variable gets overwritten in every iteration of the loop. So only the last button will work - and it does. For this to work you have to make a collision variable for every button. I added a va...

The x and y position are independent and therefore can be calculated independently. I just calculated the formula for x, but for y it is the same: lerp.jpg The first part is a sketch of the function. Before the delay and after the delay + the duration the enemies do not move. In between I used an li...

Without taking a look at the specifics: I think you have to copy love-android and add the Android Service code yourself. If you want to use features of Android services from within your lua files, then you need to add those to the love sourcecode as well, I guess.
