Every journey starts with small first steps. Halflife is too difficult as a first project even if you use an existing 3D engine. Get experience by making small 2D games: Pong, Snake, Frogger etc. There are many tutorials for that. You do not need to be an artist. Surely you can draw a ball :P and tw...

Hi I have not played any of the games you mentioned although I know Metroidvania and just watched a Dead Cells video. It seems each level in Dead Cells is not actually *that* big. At the end of a level you go through a portal and then it loads the next map. Several people have created RPGs or platfo...

https://love2d.org/wiki/Fixture:setMask Fixture:setMask( mask1, mask2, ... ) Those three dots mean there can be more arguments. The number of arguments is flexible.

I spent longer than I want to admit on trying to connect two Notes: It only works when dragging the connection from output to input. ...

Thanks for playing :) I miss being able to know what the time limit was when solving a level in the first try, just to know how close I was to it. Hm yes. I had thought about always displaying the time limits for gold/silver/bronze. On the other hand there is a balance between giving info and confus...

Disclaimer: I am not sure if I have 100% understood what you are trying to do. Okey number wise i just realized the problem is bigger than a thought. The same file that as a jpg only takes 620kb is 10.8mb as a png. Even when removing colours to a hefty quality drop png still stays in the several mb ...

Hi
it is hard to help without seeing the full error message.
Also that code uses several png-files that it is best to include a full .love with all required files.
Otherwise it is too cumbersome to run the code which makes it harder to find the error.

How about using two files per image?
1) the photo as jpg file
2) the transparent areas, as a black&white png file
