My most frustrating moments with LÖVE have occurred with love.physics. Box2D can do some really weird stuff sometimes, things that can often only be fixed through trial and error.

Can't remember the details of most of them, as majority happened a year or two ago. One of them was to do with the game segfaulting whenever I destroyed a body's shapes, then destroyed the body.

Destroying bodies in box2d is a very delicate matter and you should be certain what you are doing. :)

Most frustrating moment is debugging your stuff to death and then figuring you've made a typo.

Or attempting to debug your buggy code, only to notice your debug code is buggy, and you have to create a new debug code to debug the debugging code, and it goes on and on until you find out that you made typos in all debuggers.

Reminds me of the "99 bugs on the code, take one down, patch it around, 117 bugs on the code" tweet.
Currently designing themes for WordPress.

Sometimes lurks around the forum.
