Working with different screen resolutions

I think you can just use love.graphics.scale before drawing anything

Well, if the default resolution is 1280x960 and the user's resolution is 1024x600 (my netbook) you could do this to figure out the correct scale:

Code: Select all

defW, defX = 1280, 960
modes = {
{800, 600},
{1024, 768},
{1152, 864},
{1280, 960}}
for i, v in ipairs(modes) do
   v.scale = math.min(v[1]/defW, v[2]/defH)
end

And then you just call love.graphics.scale(currentmode.scale, currentmode.scale) at the beginning of love.draw

Yes, Pop always returns the coordinate system to the previous Push. You can nest Push and Pop as well. Not sure if there's a limit. But I've done many at once. Never hit a limit.

I did hit a limit during my tests. Just make an empty main.lua with a love.draw function, only calling the 'push'. For me, it crashed within a second, which is not very surprising.

So that means there's a limit to how many pushes you can stack.

How many did you nest?

The limit is about 27 I believe.
