Re: "Questions that don't deserve their own thread" thread

Re: how to rotate an object with a rotating platform for orthographic view?

Thanks to you both I will try it out and research vectoring 2d engines. im not sure about what this does: love.graphics.translate(-ship.w/2, -ship.h/2) why do we subtract the translate by half which I assume is from the origin center. This seems a little limited since I would end up drawing each shi...

how to rotate an object with a rotating platform for orthographic view?

to explain what effect I am trying to achieve please watch these video: AVSlHZZXUNE AY3VPka9Htk I basically want objects to become relative to certain objects movement and rotation when they overlap them. I read up on it and one example is to: --fake BAD code --set all objects origins to center (x, ...

Re: "Questions that don't deserve their own thread" thread

Wow, thanks alot, so... I guess Lua makes you build your own class from a set of tables?

Is "return" the magic word here for making copies from a set of pre-built table functions?

Anyway, I'll study the example you gave me and look at the Lua reference manual again. thanks alot.

Re: "Questions that don't deserve their own thread" thread

Hello again, I admit I am somewhat unfamiliar with lua, but more familiar with "typed" languages. Can someone explain in steps how I go about making classes, or "Meta-table archetypes" to pass as copies or "values" (not reference) to other tables so I can get a system o...

Re: "Questions that don't deserve their own thread" thread

It appears the bug reports for canvas were out of date, the canvas seems to work fine. (width / static_size_virtual = scale_float)

Re: "Questions that don't deserve their own thread" thread

Hmm, sorry I would prefer not to use the canvas, I hear it has issues and I want to work with the (primary?) buffer.
I guess I'll have to render it the old fashion way and append all my drawables to a list to be rendered in a virtual rect which is scaled using.. math.

Re: "Questions that don't deserve their own thread" thread

Hello everyone, nice forum you have here. My question is this, how do I go about creating a simple "letterbox" resizable window with scalable graphics in love2D? one like this: [img]http://www.acamara.es/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/screenresolution-smartphone2fixed.png[/img] [img]https...
