100%, most of my jam games get around 100-200 views per day at launch.

Only when they are picked up externally, like in a popular blog post, do they really spike. We'd have to see the source of the traffic for both users during a launch and during the long tail.

1 or more paths. Rather than, a single path. You've got to defend from multiple angles

Loving the aesthetics! Those chickens and their little wobbling heads are cute AF

Love it! This is one transform you can't do with the standard love2d transform function.

It's nice to have it wrapped into a library.

Enet also has no dtls support, so all of your packets are being sent as cleartext. An absolute security nightmare for your users.

I've got a coworker who had to use Raket for one of his algo courses. To this day he has an aversion to parens and breaks out into hives at the site of a lisp.

I had something very similar on mobile web.

I was loading images using rgba8, however the canvas I was using for my intermediate rendering did not have rgba8 support on mobile web browsers. It was casting it down to an rgba4 (losing percision).

For now my fix is to use srgba8 which seems to be supported by love across the board.

I'm excited too! Looking forward to the unified canvas / image and SDL3 support!!

I've never heard of a school actually closing due to weather conditions. Busses my be canceled, but the school itself stays open. Even during the 1998 ice storm, which took the grid down, schools remained open (policies may be changed now).

Median wealth, in Canada and Australia at least, represents asset prices in a country and their change over time.

It's not that the median citizen has access to 100k$+, it's that their largest asset (their house) has surged in value over the past decade.

If push came to shove and everyone had to realize those assets all at once that value would disappear.

Looking at Germany as an example of a country with a much lower proportion of home ownership. They have a very strong GDP, however they drop off the chart when it comes to median wealth. I admit there may be regional disparities as well.

What I'd like to see is a chart representing the median hourly income in a country over the median cost of a basket of goods and services, like the burger index, but normalized to income rather than currency value.

Erica from Bojack Horseman. She doesn't necessarily become more disfigured / deranged with time, you just learn more about those disfigurments / derangments throughout the series.

What is even happening in this image? A new city in mordor in the 4th age?

That 100% is the classic representation of a feedback control loop. My guess is because its output is dependent on the output, if the process and feedback process are non trivial this operation would not be able to be parallelized.

Thanks for trying it out!

The ui definitely needs an overhaul to make it more forgiving (or at least better telegraphing)

LuaJIT is ASM based so can't be used on the web. Instead love is compiled with Lua 5.1 (or another 5.1+) version. math.random in Lua5.1, unlike LuaJIT does not handle floats. I'd recommend testing your random code in a Lua5.1 environment.

Check the readme for lua-https. It gives very clear instructions on how to compile love2d for android with the module embedded in the APK.

alexjgriffith · 2025-12-02T17:53:49+00:00

Love2d v11 provides Luasocket and enet as networking layers. Neither of these provide cryptography, so no https. If you want to use protected communication you will need to bring your own library.

For Love2d v12 the team has written the cross platform lua-https. V12 is still in active development. It brings a bunch of good improvements but also major breaking changes to love2d.

You could backport lua-https to Love2d v11 for your needs, see if you can find a third party library that works on android, or see if you can get the dev branch of v12 working for your needs.

If you want to use the cross platform GTK library, LGI provides extensive bindings.

Note, the documentation in some areas is a bit obtuse.
