Re: Efficient Mouse Interaction and Event Handling for Objects

One other thing, that is relatively off-topic. I have seen browsers rendering css more effectively. Say for instance even the hover function looks like it relatively effortless. Does this mean lua over love2d, has an inherent shortcoming to implement such sort of. Or am i so unaware of some fundame...
