Pölygamy: a collection of LÖVE helper libraries

Those names make me cringe.

[pygy]

Well, they make me smile...They all make sense, though, don't they?

I plan to refer to all of them using Affaïrs as an umbrella term .

I hope the names won't prevent you from using them.

That sounds awfully useful...

EDIT: That's a positive thing btw, I state this here because Robin failed to understand it.

I thank you with all of my humble intellect.

Thanks :-)

Another potential feature (that may appear in a distant future): the ability to record and play back the keystrokes, to record a demo, for example, building on SerialDäter and Pölygamy.keyboard.

Edit: Kikito, that solution is fine for an object-oriented approach like yours, but I don't think it would work for Polygamy. The callbacks are bound to letters, not to objects. I may pass the object, it's property and a parameter, but I'm not sure it would fit the rest of the DSL. Say, how would you translate

"arrows" :held (function(k,x,y,dt) character[k](character,dt) end)

[kikito]

how would you translate

Code: Select all

"arrows" :held (function(k,x,y,dt) character[k](character,dt) end)

:/

...I would have to understand it first. What is that code? What are x and y? what does character[k] return?

My approach isn't exactly OO-tied. You just need a "message queue" where "observers" can "subscribe" to "events". Since PÄSSION was object oriented, it was very logical to use it, but it is not a requirement. As long as the subscribers have a method to "be told" that an event has happened, it is still doable. I think. In any case, you still need a "subject" for the "phrase" - maybe that's what you meant by object-oriented.

v 0.4.1 is back up.

Kikito: You're right, I meant a subject for the phrase.

x and y are the coordinates of the keys, to use with key ranges, for example.

Yay! Now I can get back to building the most polished and well-engineered game that the Löve forums have ever seen!

That last part might have been a slight overstatement.

[kikito]

That's already been done.

[bartbes]

That game was perfect.
