Built in LOVE, obviously. Endless Dark is a psychological horror roguelite-like I have been building with my buddy for the past 8 months or so. The core premise of the game is very simple: You are a robot tasked with keeping a sleeper colony ship intact. Every turn, various systems on the ship will ...

Here's how you can do it on the CLI with 7z in windows: "c:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -mx0 -x!e:\endlessdarkgame\.git e:\ed.zip e:\endlessdarkgame\* rename e:\ed.zip ed.love copy /b "c:\Program Files\LOVE\love.exe"+"E:\ed.love" "E:\Endless Dark.exe" Replac...

Unless you get around to using threads, everything (barring a few edge cases like immediate mode GUIs) is executed in serial. There's no prioritization - a function will execute, complete, and then return control to whatever function called it, and so on. Ultimately love.update is coordinating that,...

I'm on the cusp of a commercial release for a LOVE game I've been working on for the past 9 months, and I have to say the big difference between this one and the many others that I've started and left unfinished has been collaboration. I brought on a friend, and together we worked through mechanics,...

For player data vs game data, it's important to note that LOVE itself has only a single location it can read and write to. If you need to load data not in a LUA module from the game directory for editing (for instance, a map editor), you'll need to write your own functions using LUA's file system li...

You can use modulo like this if you are getting os.time() instead of dt, because os.time() (at least on windows and linux) returns an INT. You can also, alternatively, floor the return of love.timer.getTime(), which I think would be more compatible with other platforms where what os.time() returns m...

Here's a simple function I use in the game I am developing now that will flip the bool you pass to it, and optionally does something based on what path it took (in my case, it will log a given message depending on which way the bool was flipped) function f_ed_toggle_bool(bool, msgFalse, msgTrue) -- ...

I was able to resolve this, in what I consider a combination of a decent and outright stupid way. The video result is below. Basically, the library is heavily bugged, as far as I can tell, and many of the methods just outright do nothing (particularly, the screen size refresh and the setVisible meth...

I have been using light_world for a while now, though to date I've been using it with statically-placed lights that do not move. Lately I am discovering a really odd behavior when I want to selectively decide if a light is visible or not. The logic is rather simple: 1) in love.draw, set all lights t...

Visual Studio Code, GIMP, Git, cygwin (for access to linux CLI tools like grep).
