hi all, i needed to use a font in my game and looked at this, and tried to get it to work, but the font i had was longer than 512 pixels, and i think that caused it to break because i get errors on loading the image so i redid the scripts to allow for multiple fonts and seperation between characters...

are there any free programs that i can use because i dont want to pay $800 dollars to make an inch of a picture transparent.

it is teh ownage

how to debug effectively?

i need to track some variables and the like

sorry for all the questions, i appriciate the help i get :)

I didn't include mp3, because you have to pay for it: http://www.mp3licensing.com/royalty/ Perhaps someday Ogg Vorbis will be included. In the meantime you can use some MOD: http://www.google.com/search?q=xm+s3m+it+mod This is absolute crap. I hate when companies attempt to comercialise file format...

i am trying to implement some clipping in to my game here are the 2 functions used for this function compOutCode&#40;x, y&#41; local outcode = 0 if y <0 then outcode = bottom end if y > 272 then outcode = top end if x < 0 then outcode = outcode + left end if x > 480 then outcode = outcode + ...

aha! i see.

thx again shine, you are the most helpful person ever :D

i will have to implement my own clipping etc.

hmm i see where you are coming from, but that seems like a lot of hassle, especially if i have much larger models being drawn etc. take a look at this http://host-a.net/getfile.php?usern=monkey%20dude&file=ship.zip (left click) move the ship off to the side and you will see what im talking about...

will result in the same as a screen:drawLine(0, 0, 100, 50, red) my question, how do you make it so that the line goes in the right place? ie to the edge of the screen as though it would end at -10, -10. im new to lua and building off of the paint tutorial :). if you need to see my code i can post i...

you want a new "object" each time it gets to the trigger or just jump that one? if the former, you might concider actually using "objects" (not that they are really propper classes, but they are almost as good) ie block = {} block.x = 10 block.y = 10 block.vspeed = 1 kinda thing

relative you say? how handy....

how do you return the current working directory. need it in case people have it in a different dircetory :)

thx

eek! dont tell me i did that for nothing!? oh well.

where do you find documentation on the math library. on the official lua site it didnt go over it in any detail

chrz. yeah i shud have googled.... meh

over the years i have made lots of scripts for game dev. i ported over one of the most useful functions ever. here it is, i hope someone could put it in the wiki (i cant be bothered to learn how) -- you need to set pi as a global variable = to pi function point_direction&#40;x1,y1,x2,y2&#41;...
