Re: ChatGPT proposes and creates a game in love2d ( artificial intelligence scares me )

For all we know the original code may be copyrighted so it is not right to use it unless you are 100% sure. That's not the way modern legal systems work. Copyright law requires the copyright holder to prove that someone violated their rights, even if a large language model was involved. Assuming so...

Re: Retro handheld consoles anyone?

My cell phone is plenty portable for me, and didn't cost much. It didn't come with emulators though.

Re: platformer help

One way to do it would be to make one file a library and require it from the other file.

Code: Select all

-- file_one

local _M = {}

function _M:do_something()
    do_it()
end

return _M

Code: Select all

-- file_two

local file_one = require('file_one')

file_one:do_something()

Re: Favourite inspiring/unique games

Heheh. Now I'm scared to update. If you just started playing, you won't miss any of the things I do. So it's already playable. :ultrashocked: Any screenshots? I've been working on it off and on for five years -- first on love, then on godot, now I'm back to love again. My goals are to make it simpl...

Re: Favourite inspiring/unique games

Some examples of the interesting interactions they removed? (Though I'm pretty sure I dtill play the old version, whcihc I started recently, that still has hunger). I disagreed with too many of their improvements to count over the years. I used to play necromancers a lot, so the changes to corpses ...

Re: Is Love2D really for me?

Unfortunately, it took me about three years to figure out which I preferred. I can't say it was wasted time, but I sort of wish I'd focused less on features and more on how I like to program.

Re: Is Love2D really for me?

when I hit a road block I give up You're going to run into walls no matter what sort of programming you do. No one can force you to keep going if you don't want to. The only difference the programming tools make is to how much you enjoy what you're doing. For example, some people are very visually ...

Re: Is Love2D really for me?

Love is about as easy as it gets. Even if you use an engine, you're going to have to do some scripting, which means you still have to learn an api and possibly a new language. I've been using godot and love recently, and godot seems much more complicated to me -- I don't have to write as much code, ...

I agree. Fortunately, you can still compile and play the old versions. Their reasoning is great in theory. In practice, it sucked a lot of fun out.

Re: Share On Phone??

I've never used anything apple before, but the wiki covers building the application files for android and ios. Once you have the installable file, you'll have to follow the instructions from the stores (and pay them) if you want to use them. The process is the same for putting anything up there.
