The people designing tables in lua were not idiots. Your problem is in thinking of them like an indexed chunk of memory (like in c) when they are actually much more sophisticated. Lua implements associative arrays , meaning the keys are not restricted to consecutive integers starting at zero - they ...

I agree with appleide - lua is more than flexible enough to accommodate any oo urges you might be harbouring, but it shouldn't be force on everyone for no good reason. Regarding radians (which I prefer), what about a love function that switches everything to one or the other? Config options are too ...

You know, that crazy communist hacker who made the Linus and infected it with the GPL virus to destroy America! Well I read on the internets that he's hiding in Finland - probably cause it's the only place he can trick people since nobody there speaks english. The only way to be safe is if Microsoft...

That's a great idea! And it will really encourage all those people who are reluctant to upgrade to a Microsoft Vista ME 7 system... I'm getting a little frustrated the way those Linus users keep holding us back just because they want to save a few dollars (or whatever passes for money in Finland).

I could be wrong, but I think the idea is sandboxing ... the game really shouldn't be messing with anything but its own files (which should all be bundled in one spot), so even though the subfolders are in your personal directory inside /home, love presents the picture as if the love package is the ...

In general (for lua) if you want to 'free up' memory that you don't need anymore, you assign nil to the variable. eg: file=io.open('love_manual') -- file is just a way to specify your io source text=file:read('*a') -- put the contents of file into text... this chews up memory file:close() -- done wi...

It is quite possible to rotate about "a different point" as follows: love.graphics.rotate(angle,centrex,centrey) -- in keeping with the current api c + opengl implementation: static int fancy_rotate(lua_State *s) { float x,y,r; if (lua_gettop(s)>2 && lua_isnumber(s,1) && lu...

Wrapping cairo is a fairly straight forward way to put vector graphics at your disposal.

Fear not! While it is written in c this is a lua module, so after unzipping it things are just as easy as working with love. On a linux system you might do something like this: tar -xzf imagemod-0.1.0.tar.gz cd imagemod make This will build it and I hope it will work on any standard linux install th...

I can only make linux-PPC32 binaries, and since I've never met anyone else running linux on this hardware a source blob looks like the way to go...

What is the best way to get it to you, osgeld?
