Hello!

I'm trying to make an effect that "simulates" the stars in movement and I'm making them with the color white, but some lines are showing grey, as you can see in the image:

And here's where I draw each line:

Code: Select all

function GameEffect:draw()
    for i=1, #self.rays do
        love.graphics.setColor(255, 255, 255)
        love.graphics.setLineWidth(1.5)
        love.graphics.line(self.rays[i].x, self.rays[i].y, self.rays[i].x + self.rays[i].lenght, self.rays[i].y)
        love.graphics.setLineWidth(self.defaultWidth)
    end
end

I used setLineWidth to see if this could help, but it didn't.

What causes it and how can I fix it? Thank you.

Can't reproduce:

Code: Select all

local GameEffect = {}

function love.load()
  love.window.setMode(430, 356)
  local gen = love.math.newRandomGenerator(4)
  GameEffect.rays = {}
  GameEffect.defaultWidth = 1
  for i = 1, 15 do
    GameEffect.rays[#GameEffect.rays + 1] = {
      lenght = 60;
      x = gen:random(370);
      y = gen:random(354);
    }
  end
end

function love.draw()
    love.graphics.clear(217, 207, 80)
    GameEffect:draw()
end

function GameEffect:draw()
    for i=1, #self.rays do
        love.graphics.setColor(255, 255, 255)
        love.graphics.setLineWidth(1.5)
        love.graphics.line(self.rays[i].x, self.rays[i].y, self.rays[i].x + self.rays[i].lenght, self.rays[i].y)
        love.graphics.setLineWidth(self.defaultWidth)
    end
end

function love.keypressed(k) if k == "escape" then love.event.quit() end end

If you need further help, please post a .love file or at least a complete reproducible test case like the above.

@Kibita: Is it possible you are drawing the lines at non-integer coordinates (10.393, 12.939 for example)? If so, try to math.floor the coordinates before drawing.

Modifying the coordinate generation above as follows, I still can't reproduce:

Code: Select all

      x = gen:random()*370;
      y = gen:random()*354;

(the differences are subtle, but visible when zooming)

Oh my God, I just used love.graphics.clear that pgimeno used and it worked!

This was what I got..

love.graphics.clear is unnecessary in the default [wiki]love.run[/wiki], since LÖVE calls it directly before love.draw is called. You can use [wiki]love.graphics.setBackgroundColor[/wiki] to set the color it uses for that clear call.

Indeed, same result without love.graphics.clear as expected. For some reason I thought that setBackgroundColor had been removed.

Code: Select all

local GameEffect = {}

function love.load()
  love.window.setMode(430, 356)
  local gen = love.math.newRandomGenerator(4)
  GameEffect.rays = {}
  GameEffect.defaultWidth = 1
  for i = 1, 15 do
    GameEffect.rays[#GameEffect.rays + 1] = {
      lenght = 60;
      x = gen:random()*370;
      y = gen:random()*354;
    }
  end
  love.graphics.setBackgroundColor(217, 207, 80)
end

function love.draw()
    GameEffect:draw()
end

function GameEffect:draw()
    for i=1, #self.rays do
        love.graphics.setColor(255, 255, 255)
        love.graphics.setLineWidth(1.5)
        love.graphics.line(self.rays[i].x, self.rays[i].y, self.rays[i].x + self.rays[i].lenght, self.rays[i].y)
        love.graphics.setLineWidth(self.defaultWidth)
    end
end

function love.keypressed(k) if k == "escape" then love.event.quit() end end
