Re: Alternative tile implementation

I implemented this now, and it seems to run pretty well. What I do is that I, at start, create as many 512*512 framebuffers as I need, and draw tiles to them. Then, I draw the one or two framebuffers currently needed to the screen. Just wondering, how many 512*512 framebuffers is it reasonable for ...

Re: Engine crash on start; Windows XP

@T-Bone I am downloading a free "un-zipping" program; I will try with the zipped version. I thought Windows could handle zip files itself, even in XP if I remember correctly... But then again, I haven't used Windows a lot since I learnt about Linux a couple of years ago, so I could be wro...

Just wondering, does the LÖVE runtime (the "zipped" version) work?

Re: My fps is hopping around like crazy

vsync issues are certainly not unheard of. It is a bit troublesome that LÖVEs only method of fps limitation seems to be vsync. What if I want the game to run at a maximum of 60 FPS no matter what computer it runs on? Or maybe I prefer 50 FPS for some reason? Or even worse, want to change the FPS mid...

Re: Lua Metatables Tutorial

On the front page, you are probably right. However, I do think that the LÖVE wiki should, at least somewhere, contain a quite large list of useful lua guides, as this would make it easier for beginners to get started.

Re: Lua Metatables Tutorial

Just thought I'd post that I've written a tutorial on metatables . It's pretty comprehensive (although it doesn't go into many of the awesome tricks you can use with them), and covers all the metatable keys, wrapping up with a Vector class as an example. If you've got any suggestions or comments, f...
