Hello everyone, I've been experimenting with random generation, and seed-based stuff. I'm not really sure of the best way to do this, previously I just called love.math.setRandomSeed(seed) in love.load. What I want to do is let the user input a string that can be used for a string. Currently, I have...

So here's the solution that I used. I declared my player like this: player = { x = 0, y = 0, speed = 8, move = function(xDif, yDif) player.moveQueue = {x = xDif, y = yDif} mapMoveStep = player.speed end } And also created some map variables: mapOffsetX = 0 mapOffsetY = 0 mapMoveStep = 0 In my love.u...

Thanks so much, this is exactly what I meant :) About the tiles, I actually have changed how they work now, it was a mistake that I didn't pick up on for a while (partly due to the fact that movement wasn't smooth, so I couldn't tell what direction they were moving in :P) I'll have a look through al...

have you read this tutorial on the wiki that covers the same topic: https://love2d.org/wiki/Tutorial:Efficient_Tile-based_Scrolling I did read that, but it covers how to use a spritebatch to do scrolling that doesn't move a tile at a time. I'm looking for an effect similar to that of the old pokemo...

Hi, Currently I have a player who can move across a map like this: function love.keypressed(key) if key == "up" then yPos = yPos + 1 end if key == "left" then xPos = xPos + 1 end if key == "down" then yPos = yPos - 1 end if key == "right" then xPos = xPos - 1 ...

Thanks for the response! Yeah, I did consider this but wondered if there would be any built in way (I know you can do this with PICO-8 so I wondered if it was here too) I wrote this function to avoid having to write the mapping everytime: function loadImage(path) blackLayer = love.image.newImageData...

Basically what I want to do is have my images drawn in monochrome (say just black and white) and then change the two colors to custom values. Currently the closest I can get is color1 = {252, 217, 63} color2 = {2, 35, 132} love.graphics.setColor(color1) However this only works for one color, and onl...

Hello, I was experimenting with cellular automata and read some stuff here , here , and a bunch of other sites. Currently, my createMap() function looks like this: function createMap(width, height, iterations) -- empty table map = {} for h = 1, height do -- create another empty table inside each tab...

Hi, I was wondering how I would create a Tiled implementation, like STI but I'd like to write it myself because I like to know exactly how everything works. How should I do this?

thanks in advance, noah

Hi, I've been working on a game with a pixelated style (cliche much?) And at the moment the game window is 150 by 100 px. Is there a way to scale up the whole window at once to, say, 600 by 400? I've seen the scale factor properties in drawings but how would I scale it up altogether, if possible? Th...
