Re: I need help with loading lua files (my brain cannot comprehend the wiki)
Hi and welcome to the forums. So, first off, löve uses a virtual filesystem where the root '/' points to two places; one being the save directory, and one being the place where main.lua is in. - You can run a folder containing main.lua with löve, and it'll run your project. - You can put the *conten...

Re: I used ChatGPT
Also might have had to do with marketing departments trying to push the term because it was *the* current hot thing. And it'd probably be wise to use different terms if one would want to implement multiple types of NPC behaviour in games... "behaviour" being one term, but it could have mul...

Re: [Just for fun] Roast my code.
Why is 'tmp' a global??? Local variables have far better performance! Also, try to structure your game to not need love.load() at all - it'll help you improve your code structure. First one is minuscule on most real life examples, but it does help code structuring; The second one is up to preferenc...

Re: PlayerSprite stutter and eventually is artifacted if drawn on canvas else not
You could also consider not killing your performance by recreating everything graphics related every time you resize your project by just having a virtual resolution that's constant, and tied to a canvas, then you only need to position and scale that canvas to fit the actual window/screen resolution...

Re: Print not printing.
Try doing this at the top of your main.lua, because sometimes writes to console get buffered and it might not print in time or some sillyness like that:
io:setvbuf("no")
io:setvbuf("no")

Re: Best usecases for love.keypressed/keyreleased vs love.keyboard.isDown
You can also smartly combine these to create a system where you can tell whether a key is in a specific state out of 4: - pressed this frame, - held this frame (press happened earlier), - released this frame, - not being held Also, probably better to use the scancode parameters and love.keyboard.isS...

Re: Error message when opening game in Love.exe
Hi,
First of all, stop using rar, and compress your project with regular zip instead, that's the only format supported in most places.
Second, dll and other libraries that aren't lua files won't ever work from compressed archives, you'd need to copy them out to the save folder for them to work.
