Sorry, I should've added a use case. I want to do: if var[2] > 1 then ~other stuff Right now, that won't work, because var[2] is a table. I want to eval that "2" there, as a number. The 2 is a value itself. Taken at face value, the answer to your question is: if 2 > 1 then ~other stuff But I have t...

Error: [string "boot.lua"]:530: conf.lua:21: attempt to index a nil value

What about showing what conf.lua line 21 does?

I don't understand the question either. Maybe he means something like ipairs()?

Löve is a framework; it provides an API. Slab is designed to be used by programs that are made for Löve.

love.filesystem.read supports a second optional string argument starting in version 11.0. Maybe you're using an older version?

You don't run Lua, you run Love. Your Lua file must be called 'main.lua'. Note that Love requires a folder, not a file. You need to pass it the folder where 'main.lua' is located. Maybe this video helps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQCky-_Ad5Y You can't choose the version of Lua that is run, it's...

For the result to underflow, both of the original coordinates need already be in the order of 1e-307 or less, otherwise the subtraction can't generate a denormal small enough to cause an underflow. Even forgetting that it's extremely unlikely to hit such numbers, they are so close together that they...

Yes, I believe 0.0 is safe here. Equality comparison is not trivial and needs to be examined case by case. In this case it is. That said, I would prefer to return an arbitrary angle here (like 0.0) rather than nil. Furthermore, I'm pretty sure that the big branching factor adds a performance penalty...

atan2(p2.y, p2.x) - atan2(p1.y, p1.x) does not give you the angle of the line between p1 and p2. When you calculate the atan2 of a point, the result is the angle of that point with respect to (0, 0). The difference of two such atan2 has nothing to do with the angle between p1 and p2. http://www.form...

I don't understand the confusion, timerStep() (alias for love.timer.step()) returns the time that's elapsed since the last call to it.

I was wrong. The confusion came from the fact that I missed that you were waiting for the sum of both, not for only one.

thanks, i will use the ffi pointer, it was what i was looking for. but another question arose, as the name says, it’s a pointer. but you use some functions there like the cast, is the imageBytes a copy by reference or by value? A pointer is a reference. If you modify the data pointed to by the poin...
