Re: Problems with localising variables

One more complication, require can only return 1 result. That's why you return a table with your results: -- bottom of Game.lua return {Game, Menu.Snake} -- in main.lua local Game = require("Game")[1] local Menu.Snake= require("Game")[2] Don't worry about require being called tw...

Lol @ rotated pixels.
If you draw at a lower resolution like nameless tee suggested, and then upscale the result to actually fit your screen, you'll be able to see the "actual" pixels. Of course nameless tee has done all that for you, so you just use that.

Re: How does one debug silent crashes?

Hah, coincidentally I also had to solve a silent crash with bitser - the buffer size was too small and overflowed causing a segmentation fault. It was painful to debug. But doesn't Lua run embedded on C/C++ (Love2d)? If so, is it possible to run love2d with the project in Visual Studio's C\C++ debug...

How does one debug silent crashes?

A.k.a. crashes to desktop without any errors. Is it possible to run it through visual studio debugger or something? Any other debuggers that might help with this? It's really frustrating when it crashes after 10-20 min of playing, and you can't determine what exactly caused it. I'm using ffi, so I t...

Re: Extreme error

Hey, welcome to the forums!

It will be much easier for us if you just include a .love/.zip file in the post instead of copy pasting the code.
You can also embed code with the [ code ] tag which keeps indentation.

I've skipped version 11 until now, but these changes are too good (including the fixes!), thanks a lot and keep up the hard work!

Would you do it again?
If you had to make a commercial game (but someone paid for the work), would you choose LOVE again?

Re: Is it that easy to reverse-engineer a love2d game?

The files of kingdom rush are obfuscated, which is a shame because I wanted to see how he implemented a mechanic. (Arrow path more specifically)
Even a bigger shame because I had some modding plans.

Re: How can I resize an image without resizing the entire co-ordinate system

Did you try scaling in the draw call instead of the entire stack? sx, sy are the parameters, check the API.

Re: A Question about SpriteBatch and Maxsprites

Since it's probably allocating memory, it's better to alocate at the start of the game (select a higher amount of max sprites) than to increment 1 by 1 during the game as it may cause hiccups. However for such a small memory allocation, it may not matter at all, but I'd still go with the first route.
