Re: Server move incoming, expect a little bit of downtime
Can confirm, grump wasn't imagining things - the wiki's font was larger. It's normal now.

Re: If statement and Goto
You are correct. love.event.quit("restart") is the correct way to restart the whole app, not love.load()

Re: If statement and Goto
That's a horrible hack, and awful advice to give to a newbie. Events should never be directly called by user code; What? Why? The wiki does not support your assertion; love.load() has no warnings about calling it from user code. It's not a hack, it's a simple function that you define, and you can c...

Re: about Lua
For any programming language, there are always three resources to read. 1. Language reference manual . LÖVE uses Lua 5.1. This tells you all the language keywords and features. 2. Standard library. A collection of universally useful functions included in the language itself. For Lua, these are liste...

Computer science is research. Software engineering is craft. Computer scientists try to understand computers. It's somewhat theoretical. Software engineers build software to solve practical problems. Being skilled at one makes you better at the other. When you understand computers, it's easier to bu...

Re: Drawing a textured line
You can have the texture as its own texture (not part of an atlas), and repeat it by using texture coordinates larger than the texture itself. When you love.graphics.newQuad() you pass the width and height of the quad in the texture. Pass in values greater than the texture's width or height, and you...

Re: Example code of Platformer AI
If the levels are handcrafted (not procedural), you can manually place "jump points" on platform edges that instruct entities they can jump across. Then it's just a matter of deciding to go left or right to find the goal. If there's lots of verticality, it gets more complicated and you pro...
