What you have in there is different than what they said though: player.currentAnimation = {walkingDownAnimation, walkingUpAnimation, walkingRightAnimation, walkingLeftAnimation} You're making a table of tables. But 'player.currentAnimation' should be a reference to a single of those animation tables...

And if we imagine a whole class result of paintings, thats 30 students, and we try to flip "rooms" it has to reload 300mb from the sd card everytime as opposed to 30. Thats not a lot by modern standarts but still a loading time. It's probably out of scope, but taking e-commerce as a refer...

My bigger beef with that is not even the space taken but loading these files causes stuttering, but ohwell that just imitates professional software these days. Hm, I think the only solution to that is to move the loading to a child thread, similar to the code in this: https://love2d.org/forums/view...

Did you create the video, and if so, can you make it into like a PNG image sequence instead? If the video is short (like your studio logo), an image sequence would work fine. The reason I'm asking is that while you can try to derive the alpha channel from the RGB channels, it's a lossy process. If y...

Yet another approach is to reduce the fidelity of the images. I'm sure we've seen GIFs around the web that look "decent", and the fidelity of those is very reduced, with 256 colors total. So instead of having a 32 bit image (RGBA8888), having it as a 16 bit image (RGB565) with the alpha as...

You'd need to consult the (embedded) GPU of your RasPi if it supports the compressed formats, using this: https://love2d.org/wiki/love.graphics.getImageFormats Something else to try is making an FFI binding to libavif (preferably), or libwebp. They're both modern compressed image formats that suppor...

There are compressed image formats that support transparency, scroll down to the Compressed Formats table: https://love2d.org/wiki/PixelFormat The DXT5 format (Microsoft DirectDraw Surface DXT5) seems the best match. ImageMagick seems to read and write those. Also, if you don't need one of the color...

I know that this was marked as solved, but I wanted to investigate it further. When playing Super Mario World on some SNES emulator, the jump mechanic seems to let the player do either short jumps that reach 3 tiles high, or long jumps that reach 4 tiles high, and if the player releases the jump key...

Nice. You can still remove the use of mainCanvas (that is, setCanvas(mainCanvas), setCanvas(), and draw(mainCanvas)), so having no canvases at all, and draw directly to the screen. You aren't doing anything different with the contents of the canvas except passing them to the screen already, so it's ...

object:anotherFuction1() helper:anotherFuction1(object) As I understand it, the second case is right in being more expensive, as it handles more parameters. In both cases you have a table key query ("anotherFuction1"), but the parameters in the first case are (self,), and in the second ca...
