If the thread crashes or finishes, the thread is dead. If you call thread:start() again it restarts.
So, the thread should not continue running, unless you restart it somewhere in the main app.

Hello, My game receives this error when creating a new normal 8rgba canvas where I do not know why: "Cannot create canvas: Texture format cannot be rendered to on this system." I can reproduce this error when creating thousands of canvases until my system runs out of memory, but I'm very s...

I once made a similar cell simulator too XD In my case, the cell only can eat and get eaten and you have to program a perfect system.

Looks great!
One thing I found (As long as it's not made on purpose): the particles should despawn not all at once so it looks smoother.

Hey, my highscore is 190!

Ugh. Just you look at that mess. I would not be surprised to know there is a whole host of systems where it still doesn't work. This is precisely why you are discouraged from using binary libraries. Besides, the packaged Lua already has all the necessary networking facilities do there was no need t...

oh, didn't know that will do this next time. I'm glad we fixed it now.

soo, update published, game launching fixed and hopefully the lib loading too, as long as this code here works: _, C = pcall(function() return ffi.load("/usr/lib/libcurl.so") end) if not C then _, C = pcall(function() return ffi.load("/usr/local/lib/libcurl.so") end) if not C the...

Finally got it working! I had to rename the file and remove both the save folders (lovum and Lovum) and, again, change the loaded lib to /usr/lib/libcurl.so (which will always be the same architecture as LÖVE iirc, or at least in most cases; you can use /usr/lib32 and /usr/lib64 if you want to be s...
