FTFY.

Looks like ChuChu Rocket. That's because it basically is. ChuChu is an awesome party game but Dreamcast emulation is kind of a pain so we decided the logical thing to do was to make a PC clone. The core game is mostly the same but we're changing and adding a lot of things we find appropriate. There...

Hardcoding it is a pretty bad idea, since you're going to end up with absolutely massive if statements if you ever needed a significant amount of words (ie >1000). You could try reading all the words from a file into a index'd table, and simply generate a random number between 1 - sizeoftable, then ...

https://love2d.org/wiki/love.filesystem Files that are opened for read will be looked for in the save directory, and then in the .love archive (in that order). So if a file with a certain filename (and path) exist in both the .love archive and the save folder, the one in the save directory takes pre...

Could you give an example of what you mean by "combining them next to each other"? I have a feeling if you read this thread it'll answer your question though.

*Edit: Might have misunderstood. Thought they were strings.

The problem with including {} is that you probably also need to include () in a lot of places to make your code clear and I'm not sure it'd become more readable. If find Lua to be far easier on the eyes than Javascript and the two are quite alike in how they work, but the syntax is different. And J...

What operating system are you using? If you're using linux, I can help you further. If windows, you'll need to find your own tutorials - there's plenty of them, but I have no idea how to use mysql from command line on windows. MySQL comes with a terminal which makes it extremely convenient. Login, ...

A tip: Last one I did was when I went through all my "constants". In sublime you can ctrl-shift-f, then search whatever term. It'll show you every single spot in your project that that term shows up -> very easy to find unused variables. When I did a project rewrite, I found using version ...
