I know this is a more lua related question but I need it inside my love project, I am at least attempting to make my code a bit flexible, so i defined a function that gets called on object collision and takes in an argument of what object class it has to collide with and what function to execute, bu...

Welcome to the forums. Taking the atan2 for passing it to sine and cosine is something that is unfortunately seen very frequently. These are unnecessary calculations when all you need is a unit vector, needing just a square root. local vx, vy = targetx - x, targety - y local len = math.sqrt(vx*vx +...

I am trying to somewhat independently learn how to use lua and love, though I have used lua a bit in the past i am confused about some stuff, namely calculating the vector for a projectile and some other stuff, i have followed skyvaultgames' first love tutorial for the shooting part, it does work bu...
