Re: Controlling love.draw updates (another problem: canvases

Well I got it to work, just not in a very nice way: love.graphics.setColor(255, 255, 255) love.graphics.setBlendMode("replace") love.graphics.draw(canvas) love.graphics.setBlendMode("alpha") drawText("FPS: " .. love.timer.getFPS(), 0, 0) drawText("Iteration: "...

Re: [HELP] Falling "sand" timer

You can also implement your own gravity, collision detection, and things like that as well if you like. You could do something like for each sand grain check what the positions and velocities of the neighbouring sand grains are and update accordingly.

Re: Controlling love.draw updates (another problem: canvases

Ah interesting. So the last colour set before you draw the canvas acts as a sort of filter. Should have probably guessed but that wasn't obvious to me, would probably be a good small point to mention on the Canvas wiki page. And ah, I guess drawing to the canvas as opposed to the actual window doesn...

Re: Help: drawing consecutively with a "brush"

You need to add the line

Code: Select all

local x, y = love.mouse.getPosition()

Or would it be more right to edit the previous post? Let me know :) Anyway, I'm having some trouble using canvases. I'm getting a weird flashing effect ...

Controlling love.draw updates (another problem: canvases)

Hi guys, my problem is that I'm trying to update only the pixels on the screen that need updating, and I can't get it to work. I'm not really making a game, so that's why it's a bit unusual. If I loop over every single pixel and redraw every single one of them and if I have a window of say size 500x...
