Re: How to display a character as "selected"?

For the moment I use a light green circle circling the character. But I find it a bit sketchy, any other ideas? That doesn't sound that bad. After all, it's what Starcraft does: starcraft2.jpg The thing is that their circles are around the feet of the units. The perspective makes the circles look l...

How to display a character as "selected"?

Hi, This isn't a question of how to develop it, but how visually should I do so? My game plays a little tiny bit like a RTS where you can select people and make them move. For the moment I use a light green circle circling the character. But I find it a bit sketchy, any other ideas? Maybe highlight ...

Re: Quest for a resizable game window!

I'm having a problem with setMode(). Whenever I resize a window, I still use the proper calculations so if I want to put something in the top-right corner. I'll do draw('bleh example', love.graphics.getWidth() - objectWidth, 10) (no syntax here, just so you understand right). And normally it shows a...

Re: Quest for a resizable game window!

Based on that game I finally had it working. Now it scales with predefined scales. Now I'd need to draw the content in the middle of the screen so that I could use pre-defined resolutions and letterbox the extra space. Any known way to draw everything in the middle of the screen? I know TLfres does ...

Re: Quest for a resizable game window!

I use this one as example a bunch: In Your Face City Trains . The author of that game bound the keys 1 through 4 as shortcuts for resizing the window. Until 0.9.0, I find it an acceptable compromise. Personally, I use F5 as the key, and it rotates through different window sizes. Wow thanks! This is...

Oh. Ok. 0.9.0? Where? Is there any alpha/beta or something? I didn't read anything about 0.9 yet.

If not then if I can make TLfres work I'll just make a windowed resolutions menu I guess.

Thanks for the insight!

Quest for a resizable game window!

Hi, I've been trying multiple ways of implementing resolution scaling. But one thing I noticed is: the main game window (when not fullscreen) has not "resizable" feature. The maximize button is disabled. Anyone knows if it's possible to make game resizable on-the-fly? Here's my latest atte...

Ah! Alright! I'll try to change it and will try again. Thanks a lot!

Re: newImageFont, letter spacing

I didn't get so much spacing the last time I used one, could you upload the image so we can see if there's something wrong in it? If I recall well, Imagefonts have a default spacing of 1 which gets added to the actual space between the glyphs inside the image (except for the separator coloumn, whic...
