Ehhh, here's something weird. From my tests, that Lua-based method in the OP is slightly faster than the Box2D one. Point for LuaJIT I guess, it's probably optimizing that function amazingly. I honestly thought the C++ one would be faster. I'm not too surprised. In LuaJIT, external function calls v...

This looks like if anything, it should be reported to FreeType.

It'd need to provide the exact same thing as a (perhaps unpacked) appimage of love at that point, right? Since you'd also want all of love's dependencies to be the version you made your game for as well otherwise you'll run into similar problems. <snip> I'm not sure how any of that is relevant when...

That's pretty impressive!

I don't think this is usually true. As a game developer you wouldn't want to rely on a global install of love on someone else's system having a version that's coincidentally compatible with your code. And if you use something like Unity instead of love and it somehow allowed that (which it doesn't)...

That's mesmerizing! Very nice.

At the end of the file, zip files always have a directory followed by a footer. The footer indicates where to find the directory, relative to the end of the file, and the directory can also find the actual compressed files in the same way. So, you can append a zip file to any file, and the result wi...

I make gradients with a 2x1 image and a quad. local gradientData = love.image.newImageData(2, 1, 'rgba8', '\255\000\000' .. '\255' .. '\000\255\000' .. '\255') local gradient = love.graphics.newImage(gradientData) gradient:setFilter('linear', 'linear') local gradientQuad = love.graphics.newQuad(0.5,...

This should be slightly faster than using that metatable mechanism, since it doesn't need the double-lookup (looking up the key on the "instance" table, not finding it, then looking it up on the __index table). In fact I'm thinking of going with this on some speed-critical code. Apparentl...

Note that Lua's strings are always in bytes, so if you try to print() something to the console and that something has UTF-8 encoding, it will look strange, but that's just the console interpreting it as ASCII: preview02.png I believe you can fix that with 'chcp 65001'. Note also that you need to se...
