A more object-oriented approach?

Yeah, looks like I better get used to being Justin Timberlake ...

Or Mike just didn't think it through.

I didn't think it through? I mean, I do love the idea of being a fascist and saying that THIS IS THE WAY IT IS, which has worked very well for me, but if the community really wants this, I don't see why not... is this a lot of work? Tell me the truth now...

I've always preferred the OOP way over the one LÖVE and many other people working with Lua are using (Multi Theft Auto for one).

Rewriting is probably a lot of work though. I'll be trying to write it in pure Lua, and see how far it goes.

I'm nod coder, don't understand OOP but,

Code: Select all

someFont:draw("text", x, y)

this doesn't make sense to me. Draw as a method of font?

I'd actually prefer to use
love.graphics.draw("text string", x, y [,someFont])

And I agree.

I would prefer it if we didn't have to have love in front of every function

It just seems a bi long winded to have to do love.graphics.draw when graphics.draw would be a lot quicker.

But I'm just being picky :v

Then here's a tip for you:

Code: Select all

graphics = love.graphics
graphics.draw( ... )

Put this at the top of your game.

for k, v in pairs(love) do _G[k] = v; end;

Then here's a tip for you:

Code: Select all

graphics = love.graphics
graphics.draw( ... )

touché good sir.
