Re: Engine talk stuff
I agree, people just jump in and start recording, don't think about what they're going to do, so they're searching for everything; they don't edit their tutorials to cut out all the stuff where nothing's happening, decent editors aren't that hard to find anymore, if you absolutely must, use Movie Ma...

Re: Engine talk stuff
Yeah, I've taught myself PHP, HTML, CSS, and long, long ago even BASIC, so now I'm adding Lua (also wrote a script or two in JavaScript, but not really worth noting). It just helps to have a good explanation of concepts (such as metatables) to better understand and thus see where while programming o...

Re: Engine talk stuff
The front page of the LÖVE wiki even lists several resources for learning Lua right in the middle of the page. :) Thanks, yeah, I read those all, I've watched several Lua tutorials, I've read a lot, but I've yet to see one that explains stuff properly, and with decent examples. I'm always still loo...

Re: Engine talk stuff
Why can't you start a wikibook? What's going wrong, do you get some error? Also, about tutorials, I was very disappointed looking or good tutorials. Especially when you're just starting out, they assume too many things, don't explain the need for anything. For example, tutorials about Lua and LÖVE j...

Re: Planetoid - a project to help me learn Lua and LÖVE
I suppose I could, but I don't think I'll implement it in this game. When I make something more serious, I will definitely try to do that. It's something I don't like in other games, if they don't offer my personally preferred option. Just because a gamedev likes WASD + mouse himself, doesn't mean e...

Re: Planetoid - a project to help me learn Lua and LÖVE
Thanks! Well, for a starting project like this, I didn't really want to bother with the mouse. I personally don't like mice myself, they do nothing you can't already do with the keyboard. I grew up with a computer without mouse, pressing spacebar was the accepted way of selecting something. So that'...

Planetoid - a project to help me learn Lua and LÖVE
Hi. I'm new, recently discovered LÖVE and decided it looked cool enough for me to try and get something working. Although I have experience coding PHP, I've never really made a game, though I have done a fair bit of programming way back with BASIC. So for a first project, I just figured I'd do somet...
