Adult Lib - run old Löve code with the current Löve version

[hagish]

Here is the original post: http://forum.freegamedev.net/viewtopic. ... 363&p=4193

A small lib to run old löve code with the current version. Currently it only supports
0.5 -> 0.6.2.

You can find it under: http://ghoulsblade.schattenkind.net/files/adult.lua

How to use:
* Take your 0.5 code and include adult in the first line of your main.lua
* Then call adult.grow ("0.5")
* If you are lucky enough you will see your game

Great, you reached the forums.

Code: Select all

love.default_font = {} -- "Vera Sans", but doesn't seem to work, so create unique object and detect in setfont

I'm pretty sure you mean love._vera_ttf instead of "Vera Sans"

Also, @everyone, if Adult Lib doesn't work for your game, you could try porting it with the help of hand-holder.lua:

hand-holder.lua

EDIT: also, love.graphics.draw() should look for strings and call love.graphics.print() if appropriate.

I think everybody should just port their code over. Adult Lib just gives people a way to be lazy coders. It is only good as a temporary solution, in my opinion.

Yeah we were to lazy to port our code 5 times so we did it one time
But yes a maintained and active project should port the code but is is great to run old löve code without "rewriting" the hole project.
