Here are some helpers I've been using: local LG = love.graphics local scaleAround = function(x, y, scale) if scale and scale ~= 1 then LG.translate(x, y) LG.scale(scale) LG.translate(-x, -y) end end local rotateAround = function(x, y, angle) if angle and angle ~= 0 then LG.translate(x, y) LG.rotate(...

I spent some time trying to figure out what to do, I picked up that barrely thingie and went around trying to find out the point where everything starts to get distorted. Is that the objective of the game? I'm not sure how to win (or lose). Very cool graphic style!, but unclear objectives. EDIT: ha,...

The reason is that love.graphics.scale operates in the current scale. So if you first scaled everything up 2x, then you'll need to scale down 0.5 to get back to normal. An even better method is pushing and popping the scale/translation settings. Something like: love.graphics.push() -- saves current ...

This is way it does not work: https://bitbucket.org/rude/love/src/13f004d1baff/src/scripts/graphics.lua#cl-1268 Try: love.graphics.oldPrint = love.graphics.print1 function love.graphics.print1(...) love.graphics.scale(2, 2) love.graphics.oldPrint(...) end function love.draw() love.graphics.print(&qu...

I agree it is more verbose than it could. I guess it could be trimmed easily at least 50%, and then with a little more work another 25% :). If you absolutely can't stand read it, then just look at this short quote: Imagine you're listening to announcers commenting on an NFL (American football) game....

Hi, I see from time to time in these forums posts about OOP implementations for lua. I wanted to share this article which I found very interesting in this regard: http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/10/universal-design-pattern.html In the article the author explains prototypical modeling as an alte...

How come you limited you functions to the local scope, just interested thats all :) Because otherwise they'd be global, rather than encapsulated into an object. Right, top-level local functions inside a given file are useful to keep those functions local to the scope of that file. If you want to sh...

Hey, thanks for sharing this. In my case I like to use closures for building objects in a more raw style.You don't really need full blown classes while working with a prototypical language like lua. The two guidelines I follow are: * Choose composition over inheritance * Does that really need to be ...

[*] Use prototype based programming like JavaScript does (feels most natural in lua), or [*] ditch OO and program in some other style, e.g. functional.[/list] The style of OOP I enjoy the most using lua (and hence recommend) is outlined here: http://lua-users.org/wiki/ObjectOrientationClosureApproa...

https://love2d.org/imgmirrur/xCxqg.gif I use ANaL for most of my animations, but I have a whole batch of images I'd rather not have to make massive sprite sheets for (like above). What's the problem with massive sprite sheets? Do you create those by hand? If you automate the sheet creation it shoul...
