How It Works: The Thruster in Facilitated Escape
Posted on October 23, 2011 in Tutorials
In this post I'll be taking a look at how I programmed aspects of the ship's thruster in my game, Facilitated Escape. I'll most likely be making more posts like this in the future (as in, I intend to make a series of "How It Works" posts). Initially I had a lot of trouble getting the thruster to look right; you might be able to see some of my troubles in the Ludum Dare time-lapse....

I also decided not use my personal framework for LÖVE; the biggest reason...
