Due to precision errors after long uptime, passing the time like this can result in laggy animation. Get the timer value from love.timer.getTime() when the game starts, and subtract it from the current time when passing it to the shader.

Hmm, interesting. Never thought about that one.

I can walk you through the steps to port this shader: 1. The main body of a shader such as void main() typically becomes vec4 effect( vec4 color, Image tex, vec2 texture_coords, vec2 screen_coords ) 2. You'll want to switch out fragColor for color and fragCoord 's for texture_coords 3. Often shadert...

Looks like you're missing deltatime when the camera position changes; Something like this: Map:update(dt) function Map:update(dt) --moves the map 1 pixel in any direction if input:down('PAN_RIGHT') then self.camX = self.camX + 2 *dt print(self.camX) elseif input:down('PAN_LEFT') then self.camX = sel...

Looks nice! I played around with it for a bit and made some optimizations. The calculation is now done in a shader, and the texture is not recreated every frame. It's quickly hacked in though, so the code is far from optimal and not very pretty. ;) Hey, that's cool. Yeah, runs much faster as a shad...

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jigoku/love2d_metaballs/master/preview.gif This module creates a drawable surface with some HSL bouncing metaballs. Maybe someone will find this useful as a starting point for something else. Code can be found here: https://github.com/Jigoku/love2d_metaballs Basic ...

You'll want to loop over some rows and columns, which place an enemy into a table. That way you can loop over the table easily; One way to setup a grid of enemies is something like this; function love.load() enemies = {} enemies.w = 50 -- width of enemy enemies.h = 30 -- height of enemy enemies.rows...

Not sure if this is any use, but a while back i was trying to understand the use of moving an object along a bezier curve (typically a rocket/missile), this example that someone fixed for me may be useful in plotting the points along the curve: https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=83825&sta...

Red screen flashing is annoying as hell. Could replace with cracked screen or something else. It's just the flashing thats overdone. Agreed with you on that. Really was just an idea i had at the time. Cracks are a good idea... although i will probably make the flashing more subtle (hardly noticable...

Here's a top-down/side scrolling space shooter, with infinite gameplay. (will eventually have a story mode too). All the background scenery is procedurally generated. I abandoned this for a while, but got motivated to fix some of the broken enemies, and recently reworked many visuals; hopefully i'll...

Many thanks for all of that information, sorry for the late reply. This will be very useful to me, although, i think i'm going to go and look at GLSL shaders to try and understand things more about how shaders are generally put together. Your shader example does work, although i'm not sure how to im...
