Text not centralizing

Post by Kibita »

Hey there!

I'm facing a problem where I can't centralize right my title:
Image

How can I make the text centralize correctly? I did this:

Code: Select all

-- Title
self.title = {}
self.title.text = "Sample Text"
self.title.width = fonts.menu:getWidth(self.title.text)
self.title.x = const.gameWidth / 2 - self.title.width / 2
self.title.y = 15

[....]

-- Draw title
love.graphics.setFont(fonts.title)
love.graphics.print(self.title.text, self.title.x, self.title.y)

You are using fonts.title to draw it but fonts.menu to calculate the width.

s-ol.nu /blog  -  p.s-ol.be /st8.lua  -  g.s-ol.be /gtglg /curcur

Code: Select all

print( type(love) )
if false then
  baby:hurt(me)
end
