Re: Easy way to split gifs?

What you are referring to is called a sprite sheet. Off the top of my head, I know Pro Motion and GraphicsGale support automatically creating a sprite sheet from individual frames. Both these programs require $$$ though. [edit] I just tried out ASEPRITE and it also supports sprite sheets. It's free ...

Re: Love and SVG files?

It's called LÖVE, not Love2D.

LÖVE uses DevIL for loading/saving raster images only. Vector support would be nice, but then you need extra Lua API to adjust points, curves, fills, etc, etc. I'm not sure if there's much demand for such machinery.

Re: Another Kind of World (Version 1.3)

Fantastic game! Beautiful art direction and tight controls. I have a talent for getting permanently stuck on corner tiles thou. I can even jump up into overhanging tiles and get stuck.

Re: Create Polygon

Lua's unpack() should do the trick.

Code: Select all

local t = {x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, ...}
shape = love.graphics.newPolygonShape(unpack(t))

Re: Programming High?

Weed is NOT a good drug choice for those seeking inspiration or increase productivity. At all.

This thread is interesting. I brought up the same subject on a forum full of video game artists and there were tons of trippers, but hardly any stoners.

Re: Gspöt - formerly Yet another stateful GUI

zlib is :thumbsup:

Licensing is a necessary burden. Using the same license as LOVE is a great choice IMO.

Re: Alternate ways to store data files

Even then, any sufficiently intelligent user can get at the scripts and resources.

If people can hack Minecraft they can definitely hack LOVE. Compiling directly to to a binary format will make it harder, but I doubt you will gain much for all your effort.

Re: Survey: Do You Support Framebuffers and/or Non-Po2 [RERU

Driver is up to date. The excellent GLview utility says the only OpenGL 3.0 feature my card supports is GL_ARB_framebuffer_object via the older GL_EXT_framebuffer_object extension. And from reading the bottom of this I get the feeling my card might be lying about implementing the newer ARB completel...

Re: Survey: Do You Support Framebuffers and/or Non-Po2 [RERU

Here's a real simple test using the new love.graphics.isSupported function: gfxsupport-0.8.0.love My new results are: Pass: NPOT Fail: Canvas Fail: PixelEffects I have to say this is quite disheartening. My graphics card went from being awesome to being pitiful. :cry: I can live without shaders. How...
