It looks like Apple doesn't implement every-other-refresh vsync for their OpenGL vsync APIs on modern macOS. I have a memory of it working in the past on macOS, but their documentation doesn't say it will work either, so maybe it never did.

Really then, oh well. The dream is dead. Haha

Setting vsync = 0 turns vsync off, vsync = 1 syncs every monitor refresh (60fps on a 60hz monitor), and vsync = 2 syncs every other monitor refresh (30fps on a 60hz monitor). My primary monitor is 144hz, so vsync=1 makes a game run at 144fps and vsync=2 makes a game run at 72fps, on my system. Hmm ...

One thing you'll want to know about city builders, at least older ones, is that it usually updated the whole city in chunks offset by a few frames so it's not trying to calculate everything all at once in one frame. So since you're already rendering by chunk, do the updating and calculating by chunk...

Not entirely sure what you mean by clamping velocity, but what I usually have in the start of love.update(dt) is:
if dt > 0.1 then dt = 0.1 end

dt = math.min(dt, 0.1) works just as well. Don't know if there's any performance issues. (Negligible if any)

I'm not completely sure how to read your folder structure. Use the Code tags to format it with spaces denoting folders so it's easier. main.lua img/ panda.png src/ player.lua (Is that close to what you have it set up as?) Anyway, is the image file not loading when you put the path in? It's relative....

Am I wrong or wasn't there an option to choose whether you want VSync to cap to 60 or 30FPS if you wanted in 11.2? I can't find it on the Wiki. Did I dream that up? Did I misunderstand? And yes I do know about the "hacky" methods where you use math to set the sleep time. I was hoping for something p...

One of the macOS 10.14 patch releases fixed vsync. A separate workaround also got implemented in SDL before it was fixed inside macOS, but the SDL workaround got reverted once the real fix happened. I'm on the latest version of Catalina (Beta) and just tested the current available Löve version and ...

Any word on a fixed version for macOS that fixes the Vsync issue? It's been a while since I've checked in.

Really cool little engine! Do you use the new 11.x features for it, or 2d-voxels? It's just using normal Löve transform stuff, but obviously the mouse position stuff is 11 only I think. Either way it's just drawing transforming and drawing large images multiple times layered to give the effect of 3...

Was looking for something like these, but anim8 doesn´t seem to be compatible with Love 0.11.X

I'm pretty sure it is. What makes you think it's not? (I've used it with 11.0)
