when i jump outside the frame the ball just freezes at the top..any way around that? Right now your best off just make the world bigger at the start like tentus said, in 0.8.0 that will no longer be a problem, but it doesn't hurt to make the world massive (if you're only going to be moving up, then...

Make falloff positive (your jump applys negative force, so adding more negative force sends the player off into space) try setting initial and falloff to something like -500, and 400 and you'll have a jump that feels pretty decent.

I think the problem is everybody has slightly different ways they like to handle this stuff. You could try directly setting player.velocity.y instead of player.v, I think that might do something. A good way to start is just make the jump key push the player up, then put in checks like only allow it ...

ok, Thanks again. now I just need to wrestle with the physics until it stops crashing

That worked, thanks guys.
One more thing, is love.graphics.isSupported() the same as love.graphics.hasPixelEffects() ? The latter seems to have been removed.

In my quest to update In The Dark to 0.8.0 I've run into a snag with shaders. It looks like everything is good until it tries to send something to the shader. When I do this: lightShader:send("source", sX, (sY-cam.h)*-1) I get this: graphics.lua.1341 : Invalid operation: - Trying to send t...

I recommend amazon payments if you want to sell something on your own website (thats how I do it). Amazon has some pretty cool options and Paypal isn't particularly professional looking. Desura is very indie friendly and it's quite easy to put a game on Android or XBLA. If you're wondering about the...

After giving world:queryBoundingBox a try, I'm confused by it. what exactly gets passed to the function you give it?

Also is body:getWorldPoints(shape:getPoints()) really the easiest way to draw shapes to the screen now? nested functions like that get really messy looking.

Also, world:queryBoundingBox(x1, y1, x2, y2, callbackfunc) has a similar style to world:rayCast (see the Manual for a better description) and can be used for things like a fast 2d version of frustum culling, assuming your physics shapes match up to drawn objects. Awesome, I actually use something a...

the meter parameter isn't in love.physics.newWorld, you'll have to do that after world creation Good to know, not sure where I read that it did. shapes are sort of like 'prototypes' now. When you 'attach' a shape to a body via a fixture, it really makes a copy of the shape. I sortof figured thats w...
