I have not yet found the time to test it, but this may be relevant for your project to write something in

@Villane:
First off, your game looks sweet, I loved the sound effects. I’m also looking forward to your Scala port of JBox2D.

Cheers.

Villane:

On further investigation, Slick looks rather interesting. I should definitely have a play with that.

Thanks for the tip about 1. Dare I suggest that “eat 100% of the CPU” is not a good default, even if it’s circumventable. :-)

2 is hard to reproduce reliably, but was particularly noticeable with pidgin – often existing pidgin instances would crash when love started up or closed (problem observed both under linux and windows xp).

Heh, you should start a competitor called HÄTE. :3

Two things:

1. Yes, LÖVE will take all the CPU it can get by default. Sleep a few milliseconds in the main loop if you don’t like it.
2. Randomly crash other applications? This is the first I’ve heard of this happening. If you have any more information, it would be cool if you could send it to me.
