Hi Taehl, where you the person who originally wrote Fizz? Based on that demo, the platform-movement mechanics are all... Bizarre would be a nice term for it. The air control is not what platformer players would expect. And you can fly instead of jumping. Yes, the WASD keys simply set a new velocity ...

Hi everybody, this is my small contribution to the Love2D community: a modified version of the collision detection lib Fizz. Lib : FizzX Licence : MIT License Description : Fizz is a lightweight collision library in Lua. Fizz is designed specifically for old-school platformers and overhead action ga...

Are you using the physics plugin? I'm pretty sure bounding boxes in Box2D are axis aligned. If you are using Box2D, a simpler solution might be to put some static rectangles to border off your playarea. In case you are handling your own collisions: heroWidth = math.sqrt(math.pow(dxW,2) + math.pow(dy...

Collision detection can be a very complicated problem. First, you need to identify the scope of your collision system: Do you just need to detect if 2 shapes intersect (which is fairly easy) or do you want to have collision response as well (at this point you may need to program an entire physics en...

Hi! Hope you don't mind but I made a small modification to your code (see attachment)

If I remember correctly, n*n is faster than n^2 which is faster than math.pow(n, 2). Can anyone confirm this please? Haven't tested this but sounds about right. Hey, the reason I'm taking the old length is so you don't have to compute the length more than once. It's a bit funny that you are arguing...

Hi again. The code looks better although I still think it's way more complicated than it needs to be. For example: function vlength(x,y) x = math.abs(x) y = math.abs(y) if x ~= 0 and y ~= 0 then return math.sqrt(x^2 + y^2) else return x+y end end Could be simplified to: function vlength(x, y) return...

Hi. I have to admit that I don't fully understand your code. However I do have some suggestions: xspeed = math.clamp(xspeed + speed[1] * accel, -maxspeed, maxspeed) yspeed = math.clamp(yspeed + speed[2] * accel, -maxspeed, maxspeed) You are clamping a vector along the two axes seperately. This might...

I would say so, although it should be mentioned that there were attempts to make processors that run Java code natively.

Hey, I remember the Red Button game from way back. Anyway, try replacing the bottom of your code with something like: responses = { "*Ahem* Do NOT push", "I said don't do it!", "Noo!" } current = 1 text = responses[current] function love.mousepressed(x, y, button) if bu...
