I made oh my giraffe [1] in LÖVE and released it for iOS and Android using these ports. [1] http://www.ohmygiraffe.com http://www.ohmygiraffe.com

  That is really cute. I think this is a really well done landing page.

  Very simple but beautiful! The LÖVE wiki on the Android port has an example of running from adb, but how did you create and apk for your Android port?

    Thank you! This page has documentation for packaging an apk: https://bitbucket.org/MartinFelis/love-android-sdl2/wiki/Game_Packaging https://bitbucket.org/MartinFelis/love-android-sdl2/wiki/Gam...

When I had spare time I was working on a Terraria-inspired game. Here's a sample video of how far I got: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clxX8QZonL4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clxX8QZonL4 with the code here: https://bitbucket.org/sirpengi/lua_lovestory/src/tip?at=default https://bitbucket.org/sirpengi/lua_lovestory/src/tip?at=defa... I ended up using luajit FFI to call into C to calculate lighting. I wonder what the FFI support is on the android/ios ports.

  I love pet projects, specially little games (have made some with SDL in the past). I don't know how Terraria does it (never played) but I suggest you that you only moved the camera when it's necessary (instead of keeping the character in the center literally always). The camera jumping along with the character might even let the player dizzy...

    https://youtu.be/pdvCO97jOQk https://youtu.be/pdvCO97jOQk around 7:30 shows how camera in terraria works :)

    For entirely too many words about the various types of camera systems used in 2D games, see: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iNSQIyNpVGHeak6isbP6AHdHD50gs8MNXF1GCf08efg/pub https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iNSQIyNpVGHeak6isbP6AHdH...

There is this: https://projecthawkthorne.com/ https://projecthawkthorne.com/ which is based on an episode of the TV show Community. It is open-source and based on community effort. https://www.reddit.com/r/hawkthorne https://www.reddit.com/r/hawkthorne https://github.com/hawkthorne/hawkthorne-journey https://github.com/hawkthorne/hawkthorne-journey

A friend and I made a game for the most recent Ludum Dare using LÖVE. It's a top-down racer: https://github.com/zeta0134/ludum-dare-34 https://github.com/zeta0134/ludum-dare-34

A while back - I made an AI simulation with one of my friends for boid simulation using various path-finding algorithms on procedurally generated roads!

  Why did you disable fullscreening the youtube video on the page of Collider?
  - josefnpat 11y ago
    I don't control the youtube video, but I will message the fellow that does!

I started working on a snood clone. It's' still unfinished, but I've spent countless hours playing it mindlessly: https://www.tbmatuka.com/blog/2014-05-31 https://www.tbmatuka.com/blog/2014-05-31 https://github.com/tbmatuka/hennin https://github.com/tbmatuka/hennin If anyone would like to knock a thing or two off the ToDo list, I'd appreciate it :)

We're using LÖVE for Pocket Rumble The game supports lag-free rollback netplay using GGPO, and Steam matchmaking with ELO leaderboards And since LÖVE uses lua, mod support is no problem to implement, so we'll have steam workshop support too (It's not released on Steam yet but will be soon!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL63nVwisAs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL63nVwisAs
