But your table is not completely correct. Well, it's not really my table, I just used a regular expression to convert com_1's string. :) Mostly I just wanted to show him how he could save some work by using Lua more idiomatically. it is probably simpler to do this: love.graphics.print(u .. " &...

No need to do all that parsing yourself. Lua can do it for you (really fast): local scrx, scry = 640, 480 local keys = { 'a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m','keyn','o','p','q','r','s','t','u','v','w','x','y','z', '0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','(space)','!','#','$','&','...

Apparently, that's when it was created, short for "mobile unit" in MUD1. I first heard it when playing WoW, where players use it to refer to hostile units (monsters).

Yeah, I quit because the puzzle's sucked. To be fair, the author acknowledges that fact.

But yeah, it would take an hour to duplicate the core of that engine in Love, and a few hours more to write a decent level editor for it.

I'm much more comfortable with using for i=1, #table [..] I never really bothered to get the concept of pairs/ipairs Iterating arrays that way can be faster (eliminating iterator function call overhead), but only if you index the table you're iterating no more than ~1-2 times in the loop body, and ...

Here's an attempt at using the particle system for a star field (move mouse around to 'turn'): local stars, center function love.load() center = { x = love.graphics.getWidth()/2, y = love.graphics.getHeight()/2, } stars = love.graphics.newParticleSystem( love.graphics.newImage('fire.png'), 300 ) sta...

Well, I've never used (or heard of) Komodo, but "%F" looks like a macro for the current filename. You should lookup it's macro for the current directory or the directory portion of the current file's path. You may also need to add Love to the path, or using the fully qualified path to Love...

What does the f mean? I assume float? Get me 0.59999996423721? I would have thought it'd be, you know, .6. It's a number very close to .6. What you're seeing is just an artifact of how numbers are stored in the computer. If you're in Windows, bring up Calc can compute the sqrt(4)-2 for a laugh. :)

Switched it to the new version (original post updated).
