Re: How do you make a trail behind a rectangle?

Check the example attached. Although i'm going to create a nice WARNING here and say this is probably not the best way of doing this, since i believe the particle system is more optimized. However, it works, and i do the same thing in beatfever since i'm lazy. Yeah thats exactly how I wanted to do ...

Re: How do you make a trail behind a rectangle?

I never really messed with the particle systems. Usually i just create a table with past values and draw a fading rectangle on these old positions. But i guess it is more optimized to do it with particles. Not sure what is wrong though. That kinda what i wanted to do, but I couldnt make it work eit...

How do you make a trail behind a rectangle?

I want to make a little trailing effects behind a moving rectangle I have, but I don't know how to do it. I know that I should use LOVEs particle system, but I can't get those to work, partly because the wiki doesn't tell me what parameters the particle functions take, like if I use love.graphics.ne...

"Lerp" stands for "Linear Interpolation". (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_interpolation). The example attached features a very simple utilisation of such effect. totally didn't spend like 15 minutes pretending the square was chasing me... :D also, thanks for the example, I...

Re: Anyone need help with small projects?

Instead of directly defining certain values, such as the Y position of the blocks in the blockbreaker example, you instead use a math function to set this value indirectly. BlockY = 30 would be BlockY = 0 --define this in the load BlockY = lerp(BlockY, 30, 0.05 ) -- make sure you run this inside th...
