distorted text

[batatinha]

When i draw any text i see it distorted, sometimes more, sometimes less, it's kinda unstable, as i have only 2 files in my game i'll copy and paste it here instead of creating a .love file:

main.lua

Code: Select all

require('game')

function love.load()
	love.graphics.setMode(800, 600)
	game.state = 'intro'
	game.statemanager[game.state].firstdraw = true
	love.graphics.setBackgroundColor(0, 0, 0)
end

function love.update(dt)
end

function love.keypressed(key, unicode)
	if key == 'escape' then
		love.event.quit()
	elseif key == 'f1' then
		love.graphics.toggleFullscreen()
	end
end

function love.draw()
	if game.statemanager[game.state].firstdraw then
		game.statemanager.draw()
		game.statemanager[game.state].firstdraw = false
	elseif game.statemanager[game.state].firstdraw == false and game.statemanager[game.state].update then
		game.statemanager.updateScene()
	else
		game.statemanager.redraw()
	end
end

game.lua:

Code: Select all

-- Game main array
game = {}
game.state = ''
menuText = love.graphics.newFont('tahoma.ttf', 24)

-- State manager
game.statemanager = {}
game.statemanager['intro'] = {}
game.statemanager['intro'].firstdraw = nil
game.statemanager['intro'].update = nil
game.statemanager['current'] = {}
game.statemanager['current'].texts = {}
game.statemanager['current'].images = {}
-- Default to 'current'.texts array:
-- .font = fontObject [object taken from newFont constructor]
-- .color = {r = 255, g = 255, b = 255, a = 255} [red, green, blue and alpha values]
-- .text = 'my text' [the text to write]
-- .pos = {x, y}
-- Default to 'current'.images array:
-- .src = imageObject [object taken from newImage constructor]
-- .pos = {x, y} [z already taken from array position]
function game.statemanager.draw()
	if game.state == 'intro' then
		love.graphics.setFont(menuText)
		love.graphics.setColor(255, 255, 255, 255)
		love.graphics.print('New Game', 350, 300)
		love.graphics.print('Load Game', 350, 330)
		table.insert(game.statemanager['current'].texts, {font = menuText, color = {r = 255, g = 255, b =255, a = 255}, text = 'New Game', pos = {350, 300}})
		table.insert(game.statemanager['current'].texts, {font = menuText, color = {r = 255, g = 255, b =255, a = 255}, text = 'Load Game', pos = {350, 330}})
	end
end

function game.statemanager.redraw()
	for k,v in pairs(game.statemanager['current'].images) do
		-- to do
	end
	for k,v in pairs(game.statemanager['current'].texts) do
		love.graphics.setFont(v.font)
		love.graphics.setColor(v.color.r, v.color.g, v.color.b, v.color.a)
		love.graphics.print(v.text, v.pos[1], v.pos[2])
	end
end

function game.statemanager.updateScene()
end

It does look like the Font file is corrupted or something because only the "e" looks bad.
You meight want to check this.

Thank you, it's running fine now...
I just got another problem, i was playing with the particles system just to see how it works, but i can't see anything, i even did some prints to see how many particles there is running and everything seems ok...

I didn't find any example/tutorial about this, so i'm probably doing something really wrong...

Code: Select all

require('game')
mouseEffect = nil
particle1 = nil

function love.load()
	love.graphics.setMode(800, 600)
	game.state = 'intro'
	game.statemanager[game.state].firstdraw = true
	love.graphics.setBackgroundColor(0, 0, 0)
	particle1 = love.graphics.newImage('graphics/particles/1.png')
	mouseEffect = love.graphics.newParticleSystem(particle1, 1000)
	mouseEffect:setColors(255, 255, 150, 10, 150, 200, 255, 50, 10, 200, 255, 100)
	mouseEffect:setDirection(360)
	mouseEffect:setEmissionRate(100)
	mouseEffect:setGravity(0)
	mouseEffect:setLifetime(-1)
	mouseEffect:setSizes(0.1, 0.2, 0.3)
	mouseEffect:setParticleLife(0.1, 1)
	mouseEffect:setSpeed(5, 10)
	mouseEffect:setSpread(360)
	mx, my = love.mouse.getPosition()
	mouseEffect:setOffset(mx/2, my/2)
	mouseEffect:setPosition(mx+10, my+20)
	mouseEffect:start()
end

function love.update(dt)
	mx, my = love.mouse.getPosition()
	if mouseEffect:isActive() and mx ~= mouseEffect:getOffsetX() and my ~= mouseEffect:getOffsetY() then
		mouseEffect:setOffset(mx/2, my/2)
		mouseEffect:setPosition(mx+10, my+20)
		mouseEffect:update(dt)
	else
		mouseEffect:update(dt)
	end
end

function love.keypressed(key, unicode)
	if key == 'escape' then
		love.event.quit()
	elseif key == 'f1' then
		love.graphics.toggleFullscreen()
	end
end

function love.draw()
	if game.statemanager[game.state].firstdraw then
		game.statemanager.draw()
		game.statemanager[game.state].firstdraw = false
	elseif game.statemanager[game.state].firstdraw == false and game.statemanager[game.state].update then
		game.statemanager.updateScene()
	else
		game.statemanager.redraw()
	end
	love.graphics.draw(mouseEffect, 0, 0)
	love.graphics.print('Particles: '.. mouseEffect:count(), 10, 10)
end

Also, before that code i was doing the start() function in the load and update() function without any filters and the particles varies from 140~150, after that, the particles grows in number when i move the mouse, but never more than 150, it's really weird...

edit: fix'd

I think you still have to add a draw call to your particle system to put it on screen

Code: Select all

love.graphics.draw( mouseEffect )

Yes, already solved that, u posted exactly when i edited the thread...
