Re: Online Racing Game

Here's a link to a Box2d top-down car tutorial. It is written in C#, but the methodology is the same. I reproduced it a few years ago(in v0.9), but I have a new computer now so those files are long gone. Anyways, I hope it helps you if you decide to use Box2d.

Re: Gamestates and "..."

I do states a little differently than some, but I like how it works... In 'main.lua' I have a table of usable states(which inherit from a base so they have fallback methods predefined) and I create an event for state changes right in Love's event system: local curState = "menu" local State...

Re: Help with random spawning

There are a few things... First, you are calling your create function inside love.draw, which means it will be called every single frame. Also, you're calling the draw function inside the constructor function, that's why it flashes... It only shows for one frame. Here's a small example: local trees ...

Re: Are there any ways to make openworld?

Here is a basic example of world chunking to help get you started, if that's the route you choose. Fair warning, this is not optimized, just a quick mock-up I threw together.

EDIT:
Here's the github for it, as I changed it up a little. https://github.com/adean91/2D-World-Chunking

Re: Building a Level Editor in Visual Studio

Since it's only a level editor, it doesn't even need to know Love exists. Just make sure you structure the output so you can make use of it.

Re: Hexpress - a musical instrument for Android

This is nice! I agree that you should include the notes on the buttons for the other instruments as well. Also, maybe its just me but, I think you should have the guitar strings in the opposite order. Although I can read sheet music and play it IRL, doing it on your app felt awkward that it was that...

Re: Attributing global function to table

Something like this?

Code: Select all


function crowbar()
	local item = {
		damage = 10,
		swingSpeed = .4
	}
	function item:use()
		-- do whatever
	end
	return item
end

-- then assign and use it
item[1] = crowbar()
item[1]:use()

Re: [Not solved! (another problem)]Downloading large files + display status

*Edit: Updated the demo to fix thread error handling and wrong usage of io.open It's generally frowned upon to use Lua's IO functions directly. I got an error with your demo and had to change line 25 in main.lua: -- From io.output(log_filename) -- To love.filesystem.write(log_filename, "")
