Re: Best way to localize text?

It may be better to make a completely independent file holding all the strings, or at least to put the strings in a local table like this: function langset_english() local set = { "Hello", "Goodbye", ... } end (Keeping it this local depends on what exactly you're doing though) Ma...

Re: Problem with Collision

Hey JHB, I fixed up the love for you, the collision should run smoothly now. I'd go into detail about what I fixed, but I'm in a bit of a hurry, sorry! :oops:

I hope this helps!

(Oh, I changed/added a few variables in there while I was working, I hope you don't mind)

I AM (spoiler!) SUCCEEDED FREE THEIR PEOPLE!!

Nice game, I like it; not a lot of people get to say they have made a complete game, with menus, credits, gameplay, multiple enemies and bosses. You should be proud! Congrats on your game! :awesome:

Re: love.graphics.pring & font settings

EDIT: DaedalusYoung has the nitty gritty explanation down Yeah TrueType fonts are a lot like glyph fonts from images (at least, I'm pretty sure); someone creates the font character by character and is responsible for aligning the left of the letter where the designated left side is. As far as the ve...

Re: love.graphics.pring & font settings

My guess is that the font is to blame for this problem. The first thing that popped into my mind was that you should try a monospaced font, which worked to align the font horizontally with exactly where you want to print it. If you add half of the font's descent you can negate the pesky vertical ali...

[Solved] Require and local functions

I'm having a little trouble figuring out how to store local functions on files that are required. I'm not sure how to word this, so I wrote some scripts to explain what I mean (also attached as a .zip): main.lua function love.load() foobar = require 'foobar' foobar.foo() end foobar.lua local foo = {...

Re: Problems with "dynamic" bodies - love.physics

To break it down further, when you define bodies and shapes and stuff inside love.draw, you're effectively making a huge pile of invisible brown boxes, creating this "circle" effect. WhatCHA should do is define all that in love.load, like placing this at the end of load.load: -- go through...
