Separate game logic from the view code for major projects. Use busted and try your hand at test-driven development. Your brain will thank you when your major project doesn't resemble a bowl of spaghetti.

There's a bunch of serialization functions out there, here is yet another. It outputs a CSV-like format. Handles standard types and circular table references. Does not serialize user data, functions or up-values. A perf test against the trusted pickle function shows it is 0.114 seconds slower (acros...

Can you create an empty "main.lua" file in a new directory and run love against that? if you get a black love window then you know it's not your code. Also are you using the correct architecture version for your system?

Happy new years, and great updates as usual

I've written a Lua script that scans the Love source and generates a tag file for Geany auto-completion. Place the tags file in ~/.config/geany/tags/ and restart Geany.

generated love.lua.tag for Love 0.10.2

LAID is a collection of scripts for packaging your LÖVE game into portable AppImages. This is a work in progress and if anybody is keen to try this out I would appreciate feedback/bugs you encounter. The idea to set up a build server in a virtual machine, it contains Love and all the tools to packag...

Working on a basic chart component.

The art is real tidy and has a nice color palette and the controls handle pretty good too. There is a 7 second wait after selecting "new game" which made me think the game hung. You have the start of a nice game here, keep up the good work!

@tricky I used the love physics functions and they made it pretty easy. The nova pinball engine is also separate from the game, so you can use it to make your own. There is no API documentation but there is an example that demonstrates everything. See the example that runs in under 150 lines of code.

I had a go at improving the UI: Changed the look of the buttons and added text on them making their purpose more clear (a la mystery meat navigation). I also created a toggle for switching between the outboard motor and trolling motor. I also added the mini map on-screen, and reduced the real-estate...
