I am curious what the best way is in lua to represent a 2d array, or for that matter, any multi-dimensional array with an arbitrary size in lua? I need it to allow arbitrary reads and writes at any integer coordinate index (something like this: array[coordinate.x][coordinate.y]). I've considered eit...

Whoops, I didn't realize that the version of the font I was using didn't support Japanese text, now that I found the Japanese version, it's working fine now. Thanks.

Hello all, I have a simple question, why is it when I run the following piece of code in main.lua, the japanese text in the .txt file does not display properly (the text is displayed as boxes) and how do I fix this? love.graphics.setFont(love.graphics.newFont'NotoMono.ttf') local text = love.filesys...

Thanks, I was able to narrowed down my problem to a lack of knowledge about accessing the source directory, and I found a forum post which answered most of my questions: https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=82499&p=200356 . With that in mind, I now know option 2 is possible with som...

Option 2 is your best bet, you can have an in-game option to open the save folder/ (which is sadly restrained to appdata) However I've heard you can use the 'io' library (Built into lua) to write to any location, given that love.exe has access. ERIT: As for your assets just pack them into your '.lo...

I have been trying to create a file structure for my game that stores the game's assets (such as sprites and audio) and output data (such as the player's save files and options) outside of the working directory so that they can be easily modified even after the .love file has been fused. Here are th...

I've been studying how to use SpriteBatches from the wiki https://love2d.org/wiki/SpriteBatch From what I see, there isn't any straightforward way to delete Sprites from a SpriteBatch, is there? Or if not, what would be the next best way to remove them? Should I even be trying to remove them, or sho...

whoops did not see that. Ok that makes sense, thanks!

(Also If I am correct that love.timer in threads is a nil value, perhaps that info should be added to the love wiki, especially since the wiki already states what other modules are restricted)

I was trying threads for the first time, and it appears that love.timer in threads is a nil value, because I get the "attempted to index a nil value" error message whenever I access it. This means I do not have access to love.timer.sleep for any delays in code execution. Is there another w...
