Thank you. I don't know what I was thinking (my brain was probably on strike), but I completely forgot to check if the projectile was inside the enemy bounding box. My new collision detection method looks like this: function collision(enemyx, enemyy, enemywidth, enemyheight, pointx, pointy, radius) ...

This always gives me a headache... I have a table of every enemy on the screen, enemies.onscreen. I have another table for every projectile launched by the user (projectiles.playershots). For each enemy on the screen I want to check if it is currently colliding with one of the projectiles. Here's ho...

It's so basic, how can I change the scale of the camera? If the camera gets big, what you see gets small, and vice versa. http://bryanheisey.com/blog/?p=1 That's exactly what they've been talking about. The "camera" is just an abstract idea of what is being displayed in the viewport. What...

I'm not a performance junky at all (if I was, my code wouldn't look like it does... Trust me). But I'm not crazy happy with my game's performance right now, and I still have a lot more math that needs doing before the game is complete. Every little bit helps.

Thanks for replies guys. Just quickly before i start reading. If I use a variable in love.update, who's value is altered as a result of user input, and I wish to write this on my screen so i can witness the value change, do i have to use a global variable since i'm using it in 2 different love func...

Oh yeah! I got the cake in only three tries! 8-)

Thank you. Your approaches seem far "cleaner". Sadly, neither of them solved my problem. However, I was able to figure out what was causing the misaligned trajectories. It's almost embarrassing to admit, but when I calculated the direction for each projectile, I added an offset, because I ...

I'm having some serious problem implementing something that I thought would be a complete piece of cake, and it's driving me nuts. We're basically talking about something as simple as plotting a line from one point to another, and then have another point travel along that line. Just like a bullet fr...

I've been looking through your code, trying to find the part that deals with the planets' gravity and how it affects the players direction and velocity, but I haven't been able to find it (the code is quite sparsely commented). If you would be so kind as to explain it to me, or at least tell me whic...
