You sould use [\\] (it's regular backslash character). Backslash is the escape character in lua strings: print("Backslash is here \\") --> Backslash is here \ Also multiline/unescaped strings can be achived with [[]] syntax: print([[Backslash is here \]]) --> Backslash is here \ Backslash ...

I think, the better way it's simple OOP inheritance. local Enemy = Class('enemy') -- main class function Enemy:init(...) ... end function Enemy:update(dt) ... end -- basic behavior function Enemy:draw() ... end local FlyingEnemy = Class(Enemy, 'estrong') -- children class function FlyingEnemy:init(....

Every call of love.graphics.draw it's two-part process: 1. Send data to GPU (image + verticies + transform info, it's slow) 2. Draw data by GPU (it's mostly fast, if you don't use heavy shaders) Love2d have autobatching, so if you send one image a lot of times in a row, it may be transformed to one ...

Also you can love.graphics.translate(.5, .5) before rendering stuff (except text, it nicely renders with round coords)

Yea, it sometimes can't triangulate, so I use meshes now.

Ah, my bad. But this is bad too, hmm.

Hmm, it like render error (with non-convex polygons), how it can be solved without triangulation? It's just this love.graphics.polygon('fill', polygon_table) -- every point tries to make triangle with first point in list -- and love.graphics.polygon('line', polygon_table) -- drawed correctly nothing...

You can use locale shell command, but no guarantees. It's ok, don't use it, just ask user about preferred language at first launch. It's better way, srsly.

Your questions about lua, not love2d. Read the book: http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/
