Re: Only showing 64X63 of my map

You'll need to use spritebatches or framebuffers (preferably spritebatches) for things like that. You could have the absolute best computer and video card that only blowjobs could buy, but that won't mean anything if you're creating a bottleneck sending redundant information from the CPU/RAM to the ...

Re: Re-Introduction

Yeah, I've had very little issues with box2d once I got past its quirks. 0.8.0 will have some major changes to the way it works though, so don't get too comfortable. :P

Re: Eternity

This was recommended in the lua-users site as a randomseed generator for Mac OSX (put it at the top of love.load or something). math.randomseed(tonumber(tostring(os.time()):reverse():sub(1,6))) Not that has anything to do with anything. Also, why not just randomseed(os.time())? Apparently the Mac O...

Re: Mac OS X Lion Feature Support

But we're talking about games here. When you play games on your computer, it's very common for them to do fullscreen "the Old Way". If you were to play a "serious" game, say Portal 2, on OSX Lion, would it not use "the Old Way" as well? I remember the original Halo for...

Re: my idea

You haven't given us any concrete reason to trust you, so far. Have you completed any other group game development projects before? Or even worked on one? Or even finished a game yourself?

Re: Mac OS X Lion Feature Support

Honestly there's not a lot of difference. Mac OS X is very smart about what it renders and what it doesn't - when you've got a window in fullscreen The New Way, it stops rendering the stuff behind it and focuses all the GPU's power on the window in front.
