Why is that? I thought it would be more efficient if you're doing it in a loop, for example, to save lookups.

Re: Developing normal graphical applications

I guess buiding for a single OS will reduce the complexity quite a lot. I could just use quickly/PyGTK. PyGTK is sort of outdated now with the release of Gtk3, but Gtk can still be used with Python using the introspection bindings - which is inherently cross-platform. Building an application for Wi...

Re: Developing normal graphical applications

Qt in general is a good choice if Windows is one of your primary platforms, as I believe it uses native widgets. It doesn't look as nice in a Gnome environment, but out of all the toolkits I've tried, Qt is definitely the best at blending in in different environments.

Re: Good, Free Fonts?

I'd echo the recommendation for Google Web Fonts. I would probably not recommend dafont, because the licensing information is often missing, wrong or incomplete.

Re: LÖVE automated building and distribution for all platfor

That's awesome ! I don't know if you've seen it, but we were working on a project like this a while back. It never got past the mockup phase, IIRC, but those were some nice mockups! EDIT: By the way, you should add a tooltip or a placeholder text to the "bundle ID" field. I had no idea wha...

Re: Questions about platform game development

Thanks for the debug thing :) I'll try it. On the other hand, the friend that told me about Löve2D told me yesterday that he thinks it should be possible to reload all the lua files while running the program. Is it really possible? It would be really convenient indeed. Not sure if I understand what...

Re: Reading/Writing files anywhere on the system?

I would not recommend using Löve for general application development. The lack of a proper GUI toolkit alone will make you tear your hair out, and it won't behave like a native application.

There are so many better options. Here are just a few: Python+GTK, PyQt, QtLua.

Not that we know of. But I think I recall Buzz being prototyped with Löve, and I suppose Not Tetris 2 and Mari0 could be considered kind of famous.
