OK, I think I understand. I'm thinking about implementation details too, of course. So NPCs respond to a limited set of world state variables, and what they say is selected based on the NPC's internal state as well as these external 'world state' variables, and not a pre-defined dialog tree of respo...

hey, nice work! I can think of a few fun and interesting things to do with this concept.

Thanks for the link! Just looked through it. Could you explain what I should do with it? I'm a beginner. Will simply adding in the AABB collision-detection fix my game? If you're a beginner I recommend looking at the box-box collision function previously posted, re-writing it out until you understa...

Fantastic news!

wow, really cool! An impressive project to be sure. Going to try your latest version and play around a bit.

I'm not exactly clear on storylets. Is the basic concept not to use a rigid tree structure to store and progress a story, but to present events based on a 'soup' of various variables stored in player and world state?

Is it possible to make a shader for it? Absolutely. This guy has excellent shader videos, and in fact did Game of Life in a shader. It uses a buffer texture to record state (of the previous evolution step). Game of Life is one of the original cellular automata algorithms. Apply different rules to p...

anyone using this? I tried the latest version and it compiled fine once I installed python. It seems to work fine. really neat little utility and an interesting example of how to provide C code to LuaJIT. At least that's what it looks like it does - compile some C code to a shared lib and provide ac...

Code: Select all

local pixel = love.graphics.newImage(love.image.newImageData(1, 1, 'rgba8', '\255\255\255\255'))
...

love.graphics.draw(pixel, x, y, 0, xsize, ysize)

Thank you so much! Will use.
