Hi folks, I'm planning on making my next game in a weird 3D view using large numbers of billboards. Imagine the rotating island in Yoshi's island and you're close - just 100% side-on. I've got plenty of experience and I think I can bend Love2d to my will. The only thing I'm not sure about is how bes...

Silly performance question. Do people think it would be quicker to do 2x overdraw, or to draw everything once using a more complex combo blend pixel shader that takes a 'pattern' texture as a parameter? I know it largely depends on device, but I'm still interested.

I started in 1985. I programmed Rockman on a B&W TV, because my family were too poor to afford a colour one. I was 14, and my first game was for the ZX Spectrum. It was programmed in compiled integer basic - a kind of fore-runner to lua, I guess. My art was made in pixel packages using keys to m...

Mine is now Love appropriate.

Okay folks, new version now up. Lots of improvements - some subtle, some not-so. Love's ability to alter the pitch of all sounds has proven quite useful. I've got to do something about bullet tunnelling at some point so I'll probably fix that before implementing the final 3 spells or planned level c...

The keybinding idea isn't bad, and might well creep into a later release, but for the 'I don't have a ~' problem, it seems like a shotgun to kill a gnat. How about I just shift the console to Enter/Return? Pretty sure everyone has those (and if they don't they can't use the console anyway!) As for t...

Yipe! Thanks for the hints. Okay. That's some fairly heavy-duty linux-ey stuff going on there. Hmm. I need to have a think. Regarding a port - sounds amazing. BUT! I'm like an old punk guitarist. I'm not technically good, but I can get stuff *done*. I need people who know Love/coding better than me ...

Thanks for the compliments folks. Believe it or not, that's kind of the first 'tune' I've ever written - especially in that style. I mostly make weird dark-ambient noise stuff: https://soundcloud.com/madrayken <-- If anyone wants to listen to the usual weirdness I produce. @qubodup : How did you tak...

Thanks for the kind words and the pointers about double-posts. Genuinely wasn't trying to bump, just slightly spazzy and disorganised (and evidently ignored the 'take your time' suggestion). I'll keep an eye on it. This is a great community (I've been lurking for a while) and I appreciate the opport...

Here!

If anyone laughs at my code I'm going to cry. No, really. It'll embarrass you all and make you feel bad.

In addition, I know you *can* look up spoilers, but please don't!
