Re: Home Run

Weird. My friend tried it on Windows 7 Home and I'm running OS X and it appears to work. Maybe the single-quotes should be "\."? I have Lua 5.2.1 installed, but that's separate from Löve right? I escaped the period because I wanted to make sure it wasn't being interpreted as a regex "...

Re: Home Run

Oh, thanks! What OS and version of Löve are you running?

Re: Drawing Smooth Curves

Ref, that code is superb! I didn't realise you could throw so many points at love.graphics.line and it still work so nicely. Thanks!

Home Run

Hey all, For TIGSource's recent game jam, I made Home Run with a couple of friends. It's the first game I've made in Löve. It's still got a lot of bugs but I had a great time making it. http://benhumphreys.co.uk/homerun/logo.png 59z7f.jpeg About the game: 4-player 2D button-mashing track-and-field g...

Re: Drawing Smooth Curves

If you use a high enough resolution (enought nodes in between) this should look round enough. Thanks for the reply! I thought about that, but I had the impression from my limited use and reading the forums, that the line-drawing and more "low-level" operations in Löve are not very efficie...

Drawing Smooth Curves

I'm fascinated by the curving trails in this JS demo and I'm wondering if it's possible in Löve. However I don't really have a clue how to approach this. I'm only used to drawing PNGs. Is reproducing this effect only possible with shaders? What is the simplest and most efficient way? I found an exis...

Share your favourite helper functions

I've found that building up a library of helper functions can really speed up programming and debugging in Löve/Lua. I've called them "helper functions" in the title, but basically any techniques, modules, functions etc. that you use a lot and have saved you a lot of time would be great. S...

Re: LovelySpriter – Spriter library

Thanks Kikito! I appreciate the feedback as always. Here are my replies point-by-point. I thought about Spriter but I didn't want to be so bold as to say my library is the only one. Also you don't have to type LovelySpriter so often. The case point is interesting, I'm not sure what the convention is...

Re: LovelySpriter – Spriter library

Oh cool! You wrote this just recently? Yours actually seems to animate properly too, which is more than mine does at the moment ^^; Does it work with the latest version of SCML? I'll look at how yours works tonight and try to fix mine :) Or if you're feeling really nice you could tidy yours up and m...

LovelySpriter – Spriter library

It's still very much in alpha, but I posted LovelySpriter , my Löve library for the Spriter SCML file format. There is an old library called spriter-love2d but the SCML file format has changed significantly since then, and the interface was quite different from other Löve libraries that I've used. S...
