Examples
Random number generation
-- Generate random numbers
local randomValue = love.math.random() -- 0.0 to 1.0
local randomInt = love.math.random(1, 100) -- 1 to 100
Vector operations
-- Create and manipulate vectors
local vec1 = {x = 10, y = 20}
local vec2 = {x = 5, y = 15}
-- Vector addition
local result = {
x = vec1.x + vec2.x,
y = vec1.y + vec2.y
}
Best practices
- Use love.math.random() with proper seeding for reproducibility
