Re: trAInsported: Alpha testers needed

I seem to have an issue... the tutorial does not seem to be working. I go in and modify TutorialAI1.lua to "print("Hello trAIns!"). I've tried adding whitespace and all, but it just doesn't seem to want to work... I've removed the comments, kept them, reloaded the tutorial, restarted ...

Re: An open request to LÖVE library authors...

I do no such thing. This has nothing to do with skill, only with the community. I love this community and that's why I want to improve it. I sort of agree with Kaboda on this. We shouldn't look for female programmers nor let someone "be a role model" just because they are female. This com...

Re: Forcing garbage collection on a specific userdata

The index is not necessarily a constant string, is there any way to loop through _all_ the locals at that level?

EDIT: I just realized that the second argument was a number and found a snippet to do what I need. Thanks!

Forcing garbage collection on a specific userdata

Yes, I need to force garbage collection on a specific userdata. The issue is I want it to be something like this: remove(usd) and have it trigger the __gc event. I've tried this so far- function removeobject(arg) local topLevel=0 local err=false repeat topLevel=topLevel+1 err=pcall( function() local...

Switching to Linux from Win7

Hello, Love2D community! I've finally decided to swap from Win7 to Linux. I need your opinions (and help) on a few things- I need a distro. I've VM'd Fedora (forget which version) with GNOME and I like it, however, I've not used any other distros nor truly used it. A VM is limited in the user experi...

Re: A simple, flexible framework with OO

...you write x = x or blah I thought that this was a dumb idiom at first; i felt it was weird and confusing considering that "or" is typically a boolean operator. However, default values are used so often in lua the "or idiom" becomes well understood and really isn't confusing a...

Re: Your coding music?

I LÖVE punk rock while coding, mainly The Offspring. I find their songs to be motivational and inspirational in some sick sadistic fashion. The speed and intensity of the sound gets me in mood to crank out my Lua or C++.

Re: Plazma Being (Beta)

I managed to extract the .love from the .exe, and looked at some of your code. I noticed a line that slightly annoyed me, something like this: {"O","h",","," ","n","o"... I see why you would do that, but I think it would be better to define...

Re: Chance For Freedom (dungeon crawler/ roguelike) WIP v2

I found 2 bugs: I can walk directly across the red wall (collision implemented yet?) and if I go out of the map using the go-through-wall bug, it'll crash.
Other than that, it looks fine. Nice work.
