That's mesmerizing! Very nice.

At the end of the file, zip files always have a directory followed by a footer. The footer indicates where to find the directory, relative to the end of the file, and the directory can also find the actual compressed files in the same way. So, you can append a zip file to any file, and the result wi...

I make gradients with a 2x1 image and a quad. local gradientData = love.image.newImageData(2, 1, 'rgba8', '\255\000\000' .. '\255' .. '\000\255\000' .. '\255') local gradient = love.graphics.newImage(gradientData) gradient:setFilter('linear', 'linear') local gradientQuad = love.graphics.newQuad(0.5,...

This should be slightly faster than using that metatable mechanism, since it doesn't need the double-lookup (looking up the key on the "instance" table, not finding it, then looking it up on the __index table). In fact I'm thinking of going with this on some speed-critical code. Apparentl...

Note that Lua's strings are always in bytes, so if you try to print() something to the console and that something has UTF-8 encoding, it will look strange, but that's just the console interpreting it as ASCII: preview02.png I believe you can fix that with 'chcp 65001'. Note also that you need to se...

Looks sharp to me as well, though a bit small. I used this font: https://github.com/rsms/inter/releases/download/v4.0/Inter-4.0.zip (after unzipping, it's the one in extras/ttf/Inter-Regular.ttf) Are you sure that's all the code? Aren't you using love.graphics.scale or anything? I used this (copied ...

It sounds like a wrong DLL. Either wrong bits (32 vs 64) or this ssl.dll is not the one expected by LuaSec.

I recently implemented Kruskal's algorhtm. Conceptually It's one of the simplest I found; however, the mazes it generates have many short blind alleys, as it happens with any other algorithm which generates a uniformly distributed spanning tree (such as Aldous-Broder or Wilson's algorithms). This ti...

I was toying around with mazes the other day and found the recursive backtracker to be pretty easy to implement and generally nice to look at. It guarantees a maze where every spot is filled in and all spots are on a single network. There's a thread expressly dedicated to mazes: https://love2d.org/...

I can only reply to this question: what calculations should i do in update, what is better to keep in draw, and is there any differences at all? I'm not fully sure what you mean. love.update and love.draw are executed one after the other, in that order. There's no difference other than the fact that...
