What do you want in an API for adding cloud data storage/achievements/scoreboard/whatever?

Inspired by GameJolt's API , I'm working on something that apes their but then I will be extending it. The primary goal of my project is to make something so you can easily add this kind of functionality to a game within a game jam (without having to configure things through a web interface or signi...

Re: (suggestion) please add a way to crop a image

While it would be convenient, there are other options that should be learned if it needs to be dynamic in some way, and otherwise this is the kind of thing that should be done in a editor rather than in a game engine, no? (Note: I am speaking out of my ass at least a little, as I do not understand Q...

The Foundation Falls - A quick and dirty SCP Foundation-themed game

Made in a couple hours for One Hour Game Jam #154 (theme: Fall). Right now there's not much to it, but it is surprisingly fun to set up some missile launchers and watch them go. Here it is on itch.io! The game is based entirely on SCP-3032 right now, but I plan to include others when I come back to ...

itchy - A simple version checker for games published on itch.io

Read all about it on the repo.

Tl;dr: Dirt simple to use, uses a thread so it's non-blocking, configurable, and supports HTTPS connections.

Let me know what you think, I am open to new ideas / modifications if you think it needs it!

Re: Do requires in threads get cached? Are they cached separately from the main thread?

I don't believe that answers my question. I am aware that Love modules must be loaded and that they are their own states, but they also allows flat tables and userdata to be shared. I am wondering if that sharing applies to cached modules (although based on having to require love's modules and it be...

Do requires in threads get cached? Are they cached separately from the main thread?

What the title says.

Do threads cache require'd modules?

And if they do, is this the same cache as the main thread? Or do threads get their own cache?

Re: Any interest in a Löve speed-jam?

I think the most difficult part of this is organization, and while I like the idea, there's no way I could do it. o.o

Downloads for LOVE versions before 0.6.2 / Are there any projects using such old versions ?

There's this project called scoop that makes it easier to install development software on Windows. I've already submitted a manifest that allows installing the latest version of Love to their scoop-extras bucket , but I am also maintaining a list that allows installing old versions of Love .
