LÖVE

• Customisable toasts (color, text color, font, padding, screen location)
• Tap toasts to dismiss them! (works with mouse as well as touch screens!)
• Queue multiple toast messages!

lovelyToasts = require("lib.lovelyToasts")

function love.update(dt)
  lovelyToasts.update(dt)
end

function love.draw()
  lovelyToasts.draw()
end

lovelyToasts.show("This is a Lövely toast :)")

If you don't tap to dismiss then what is the other option? Timed?

lovelyToasts.show("This is a Lövely toast :)", 5) -- Show toast for 5 seconds

I see you are doing a screenwidth/2 - textwidth/2, and this makes sense but it is not centred on my screen. I d/l a font (non-standard) so maybe something odd with that?

I guess this is the right time to ask for an X override as well as a Y override. I'd like the toast to appear above the avatar's head.

Code: Select all

if #garrGameMessageLog > 0 then
	lovelyToasts.show(garrGameMessageLog[1].text,3)
	RemoveGameMessage(1)
end

Perhaps it thinks my screensize is smaller than it is. I shall check ...

Edit: Yup - it thinks screensize is 800 and not 1920 hence 'centering' it off to the left. I'll see what I can do.

Edit: Fixed.

My hack (for now) is to move those two declarations above lovelyToasts, which is a bit ugly, because all my other declarations are grouped elsewhere:

Code: Select all

-- ** needs to be placed above the lovelyToasts require
local gintScreenWidth = 1920
local gintScreenHeight = 1080

_ = love.window.setMode(gintScreenWidth, gintScreenHeight,{fullscreen=true,display=1,resizable=false})	-- display = monitor number (1 or 2)

lovelyToasts = require("lovelyToasts")

I guess LT should recheck screen width (and height) on each update but that seems very inefficient. Maybe a lovelyToasts.Initialise() on love.load to do that?
