Hey !

Nice pong clone,
as Robin already said - the menu looks damn good. Good job on that.

edit - the selectable movement modes are nice, too

Actually it isn't your game. It's created by Dandruff for the Ludum Dare and is called "Another Kind of World".

If you call a game your own which isn't your own it doesn't look that good. !
It is more like a little mod of a game.

I don't exactly know how much data your game uses but from what I've seen so far
I would dare to say it is more code / optimization related and not because you load tons of stuff in.

If you create huge games which have to load tons of data ( images, sounds, ... ) and may have to create a world first on game start or have to perform other heavy calculations ( i.e calculate the terrain, populate it, apply textures etc. ) a loading bar is a great thing to set the player on hold and...

No no never mind, thanks for the help.

Well, I tried it and it does work on the first try - pretty simple! Thanks for the tips :) Actually, it's not bad putting your game code into the global table, but it is very important to be modularized if you do so. For instance, lets say you have a file called "sprites.lua" and in it you...

Hi! I'm currently trying to set up a basic code construct to use in future game projects and I want to make sure the code isn't extremly inefficient, that's why I ask you guys. craftedCode.love Is anything completely against every rule or something ? ( maybe the world.lua ) Are there any things whic...

edit: gd, ninja'd. :D Btw, I would like to say thanks so much for the help, i am just starting in game development! Your're welcome, of course. It would be easier for us to help when you manage to upload a .love file so we could take a look on what you got so far. To pack a .love you just have to us...

If you are willing to use a third party library I would suggest you try "TSerial" to serialize a table and then reload it on start. It's pretty easy to use : Save: love.filesystem.write( "level.lua", TSerial.pack(levelinfo) ) Load: love.filesystem.setIdentity( "YourGameName&...

The first tiles does looking good, the character is kinda adorable
What is the glass orb on his head for ?

Post some more infos when you archive some progress.
