Re: Loading zipped files inside of LOVE? [SOLVED]

Just remember that dependencies on platform specific libraries completely destroys and hope of getting your game to run cross-platform. In other words, using a Windows only DLL means Mac and Linux users will not be able to play your game. In further words, don't do it. Have you got an alternative? ...

Re: No love.filesystem.rename?

Exactly, the more I see you talk about using io, the more I feel like restricting you fools. Restriction would be fine.... unless there are features you'd restrict that would be really useful for legitimate games. Which there are. :P it's not my fault the LOVE API can't do some useful things the Lu...

Re: Sandboxing (poll)

Is SFML sandboxed? LÖVE has nearly identical features as SFML (the main difference being the API is Lua). XNA is also very very similar, but it's (mostly) Microsoft-only and it supports 3D. Is that sandboxed? Why or why not? My personal opinion: I don't give a shit what version of LÖVE you're using ...

Re: multi-threading or multi-processing?

I haven't used Löve threads yet, but if they're regular OS threads (most likely they are), then your OS is free to assign each thread a searate core, so using threads can give you an advantage on multi-core CPUs (or systems with multiple CPUs). I'm not sure what you mean by independent processes th...

Re: Portal 2D (tech demo)

Nope. In fact, raytracing is never used in games, because it is too slow, it provides amazing detail, but can't be done realtime. And there you're wrong, search it up ;) Edit : As you can see here ; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blfxI1cVOzU (IN 2007!!) That's a demonstration, not an actual game. I...

Re: limiting the fps

love 0.8.0 (the latest build) changed love.timer.sleep (the thing people use to limit their framerate) to be in seconds instead of milliseconds.

Yes, talking about its lack of features will cause people to like it. :P

They are? Most of the sex-related LÖVE puns for library names have been around for quite a while.

If you are using LuaJIT then the jit.os string will tell you the OS.

Re: How do i load an image onto a player with physics?

You do still use love.graphics.newImage, just like the hampster ball tutorial. The only difference is, you have to draw it at the coordinates of the physics body. So the code would be like this: love.graphics.love.graphics.draw( hamster, objects.ball.body:getX(), objects.ball.body:getY() ) local b ...
