Beautiful solution by zorg. My only concern would be the maximum number size that "tonumber" can handle. It will probably work fine for the 0-255 range. A "safer" solution would be to iterate the table. local sum = 0 for i = 1, #bin do sum = sum + bin[i]*math.pow(2, i - 1) end local byte = string.by...

Any tutorials on how to get your game on steam?

There are extensive tutorials on the Steam portal, available once you become a Steamworks partner (it costs $100 for your first app)
There is also my Sworks-FFI library: https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=87917

Will LOVE be updating Lua to 5.4 in the foreseeable future?

No because it's based around LuaJIT.

Good one zorg.
This last one by grump is amazing.

Nicely done Grump & ingsoc451.
Doesn't really matter if it's not a perfect cardoid.

Raw: l = love g = l.graphics m = math s,c = m.sin,m.cos p = m.pi a={} for i = -50,50 do t = i/100*6 a[#a+1] = 10*(16*s(t)^3) a[#a+1] = -10*(13*c(t)-5*c(2*t)-2*c(3*t)-c(4*t)) - 20 end b={} for i = -50,50 do t = i/100*p*2 b[#b+1] = 120*c(t - p/2) b[#b+1] = 120*s(t - p/2) end d={} h = g.newCanvas() r =...

It's that time of year again!

Challenge:
Make a cardoid animation with LÖVE2D in 1K or less
Rules:
1.No external assets such as fonts or animation
2.Everything must be contained in a single main.lua file
3.Your main.lua file cannot exceed 1K

Thanks for participating!

How do you want to handle multiple layers a map can have? Eg: a layer used just for the background.

There are several ways to achieve this. You could use each of the RGBA channels as a layer.

You can use my (cross-platform) library which can export to .love from Lua

I've seen this technique used in several 2d games, where the level data is in a picture format. Personally I have used plain txt files which makes associating characters to tiles easier. I think you could find a better way to resolve colors to tiles, since your "get_obj(x,y,r,g,b,ind)" function will...
