soft - don't set variables, lerp them

Post by Ulydev »

Hey there, lövers!

Here's another minimalist library, soft.

By replacing

Code: Select all

variable = value
to

Code: Select all

variable:to(value)
it takes care of lerping the values, giving a smoother look to your games.

Nice, beat me to it :P

Personally, I'd change the soft:set boolean param to the string 'reset'. This makes it a lot clearer what the function's doing with the second parameter from the outset, and allows the addition of other parameters if you like.

This looks great.
But what if I need to change the value :by() a given amount? (ie, relative to the current value instead of absolute)
Do you think it's worth implementing it?

Code: Select all

var:to( var:get(true) + x) 
Sure, I'll consider adding a shortcut.
