Can this be extended to also apply for drawn text? Like overriding love.graphics.print() or something font-related with something that scales up the text in a pixelated manner?

Putting a bit of text inside quotes (" "), for example "apple", in almost any programming language means that you're referring to the word apple, as in a sort of list of letters ('a','p','p','l' and 'e') (this is called a string ), while writing just apple without quotes means yo...

The game world is enourmous, no doubt it takes a lot of memory. Still runs pretty well on my crappy netbook, so I guess it's not that big of an issue either.

Code: Select all

Yes, that was what I had in mind.

Sounds like a slow solution, having to check the current state every single time I want to draw the screen. But if there's no better way to do it, I guess it will have to do. It's not that bad. It's a simple 'if' check for a computer that can do billions of calculations per second! There are other ...

Love itself runs main.lua, if that in turn loads other files, it doesn't care. Now, after main.lua has been executed it uses the environment it is then in, which you've set up. If you define a love.draw in main.lua, it will use that, if you define it somewhere else, it uses that, it just uses whate...

Hi lövers! I've understood how you can call functions and refer to variables from .lua files other than main.lua by using the "require" function, but I don't really understand how LÖVE runs the different scripts. If I define a love.draw() function in a separate .lua file and require it, it...

Ah, of course. Yes, this totally works. Something wrong with the way the tutorial uses the SpriteBatch then. Does the tutorial's code work on your computers, or is it just mine? If the tutorial is wrong, it should be changed as soon as possible.

Lemme write up what I mean. local map -- stores tiledata local mapWidth, mapHeight -- width and height in tiles local mapX, mapY -- view x,y in tiles. can be a fractional value like 3.25. local tilesDisplayWidth, tilesDisplayHeight -- number of tiles to show local zoomX, zoomY local tilesetImage lo...

No, I mean using exactly what you had, just taking out the SpriteBatch and drawing directly to the screen. I don't understand what you mean. By "taking out", do you mean removing or ignoring the SpriteBatch? If so, what excactly do I have that I can draw on the screen? Just drawing the en...
