In case anyone isn't aware, the reason love objects (or anything not entirely owned by Lua) don't get collected "quick enough" to avoid high memory use situations when you spam creation of them, is because Lua isn't able to know how much memory the object actually takes. love objects don't...

What does @slime think? As-is, people who use nearest talk about setFilter / setDefaultFilter. And people who use linear don't. So just listening to who's talking about it won't tell you how many people are using each mode. :) Both have valid uses for different art / aesthetic styles. Personally I ...

The objects can just be garbage collected because they're recognized as not being used in the future And how can I change that? Reference/use the object after you've used the FFI pointer. See https://luajit.org/ext_ffi_semantics.html#gc for some details. We can only throw guesses at the wall with h...

The objects can just be garbage collected because they're recognized as not being used in the future, they don't have to be manually deleted for the GC to clean them up. Also make sure you're using zero-based indexing with FFI arrays. We can only throw guesses at the wall with how little information...

Make sure the original memory allocations (for example the objects returned by love.image.newImageData in your first bit of code) are still accessible when the FFI pointers that point to their memory are used. Otherwise Lua may garbage-collect the original objects and free their memory while you're ...

(Too bad it doesn't seem like Love2D community Devs really care that an actual pretty famous game is made with Love2D, but that's besides the point) Balatro's great. It's also not nearly the first famous game made with LÖVE. :) If you're talking about the homepage, we just don't have active people ...

In the screenshot, VScode uses the same text as the wiki. Did they parse the wiki somehow or is that docu created by hand? Would it make sense to standardize the style a bit to make it more machine-readable? I believe it's a heavily modified edit of something that originated as a wiki scrape. I'm i...

While the wiki could be more clear, updating it won't fix that vscode extension. Like dusoft said it's a separate and independently developed piece of software.

love 11.5's deployment target (runtime minimum version set during the build process) for macOS is 10.11, so it won't run on earlier operating systems - or if you're unlucky it will run but will randomly crash or otherwise break. Also Steam dropped support for Windows versions below 10 earlier this y...

Balatro uses 11.5. love for macOS supports Intel and Apple Silicon in the same binary (so you'd pick 'both' for that option). 11.5 runs on macOS 10.11+, Windows 7+, and Ubuntu 20.04+ or equivalent (or whatever Linux distros you compile for as a target). You don't need to support everything love itse...
