After LÖVE comes ËNVY.
So I'm making a framework that will help you on your way to making a great game. It's work in progress at the moment and can't really be used at it's current state.
ËNVY is a LÖVE Framework which should help you all to make great games for love. It includes everything that kudoLib (http://love2d.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=160) has and much more. It has an entity system to help with creating new types of entities as well as spawning them easily. It has hooks so that you can hook into different functions that are called both by the engine and by ËNVY.
Each entity has callbacks such as onSpawn() and onCollision(data, contact) which you can override (and soon derive from) when you create your custom entities.
When ËNVY is done there will also be a weapon creation system as well as the entity creation system. You'll be able to assign your created weapons to different entities, there'll also be a simple AI library so that you can easily create enemies too.
If you take a look at this really early version of ËNVY you can get used to the structure, as well as the "entities" directory you'll soon see directories like "weapons" and "characters".
Note: The example game that comes with ËNVY is now Wrath, you will be able to see how any new features work by looking at the Wrath source code.
Sorry for the big file size increase, it now includes sounds because I'm using Wrath as the example game.

Changelog:
Code: Select all
[Phase 14]
* Changed envy.entity.class:destroy() to envy.entity.class:destroy(force).

* Added getValid() checks in envy.entity.class:getAlive() and envy.entity.class:destroy(force);
* Added envy.entity.class:getDestroyed().
* Added unless an entity is forcefully destroyed, it'll be destroyed at the end of the frame to avoid crashes.

* Added envy.control.class:stretchToParent(spacing).
* Added envy.util.drawRoundedBox(x, y, width, height, radius, drawType).
* Added envy.util.round(number).
* Added envy.vector:newFromRandom().
* Added envy.entity:onInitialize() is now envy.entity:onInitialize(arguments).
* Added envy.control:onInitialize() is now envy.control:onInitialize(arguments).
* Added envy.map:onInitialize() is now envy.map:onInitialize(arguments).
* Added the ability to parse arguments to an entity's onInitialize callback with envy.entity.add(s_Class, t_Arguments, b_World).
* Added the ability to parse arguments to a control's onInitialize callback with envy.control.add(s_Class, t_Parent, t_Arguments).
* Added the ability to parse arguments to a map's onInitialize callback with envy.map.load(s_Class, t_Arguments).
* Changed the style of the GUI.
* Changed the control's onDraw function to have position, width and height arguments.
* Changed the type()'s of Controls, Entities, etc to proper ones.
* Changed envy.defaultFont to ENVY_FONT.
* Fixed a bug that osuf oboys pointed out to me, thanks osuf oboys.
[Phase 13]
* Added envy.control.class:stretchToParent(spacing).
* Added envy.util.drawRoundedBox(x, y, width, height, radius, drawType).
* Added envy.util.round(number).
* Added envy.vector:newFromRandom().
* Changed the style of the GUI.
* Changed the control's onDraw function to have position, width and height arguments.
* Changed the type()'s of Controls, Entities, etc to proper ones.
* Changed envy.defaultFont to ENVY_FONT.
[Phase 12]
* Added envy.map library.
* Added onError(message) hook.
* Added onMapLoad(map) hook.
* Added onDrawMap(map) hook.
* Added onMapUnload(map) hook.
* Added the world is now automatically created when a map is loaded. If you really must
get the world, you can use envy.map.getWorld().
* Added if you don't specify a world to put an entity in when using envy.entity.add, then it
will automatically add it to the map's world - if a map is active.
* Added envy.entity.class:getWorld().
* Added envy.util.error(message).
[Phase 11]
* Added envy.util.getSound and envy.util.newMusic and envy.util.getImage.
* Added envy.util.isBetween(value, minimum, maximum).
* Added envy.vector.class:angleBetween(vector).
* Added envy.vector.class:moveTowards(angle, speed).
* Added envy.vector.class:moveAtAngle(angle, speed).
* Added envy.vector.class:rotate(angle).
* Added envy.entity.class:addVelocity(velocity) (adds to the entity's velocity).
* Added envy.entity.include(file).
* Added envy.entity.includeAll(directory).
* Added envy.control.include(file).
* Added envy.control.includeAll(directory).
* Added envy.util.enumerate(directory);
* Added envy.util.include(file);
* Added envy.trace.class:setName(name).
* Added envy.trace.class:getName().
* Added envy.util.reverseTable(base).
* Added anything in game/entities/ is included automatically.
* Added anything in game/controls/ is included automatically.
* Added if you return true on a GAME hook, the normal hooks will not run.
* Added if you return true on a hook, the rest of the hooks will not run.
* Added canTraceHit hook for entities (return false to disallow the trace to hit it).
* Added onInitialize hook for entities.
* Added onHookError hook.
* Added canPressKey and canPressMouse hooks (return false to disallow).
* Added onDrawControls hook.
* Added the envy.control library.
* Added the envy.module library.
* Changed onMousePressed and onMouseReleased arguments to (button, position).
* Changed the way entities work you no longer need to define ENTITY and register it in the file. This is done automatically
when it is included.
[Phase 10]
* Added envy.util.getSound and envy.util.newMusic and envy.util.getImage.
* Added envy.util.isBetween(value, minimum, maximum).
* Added if you return true on a GAME hook, the normal hooks will not run.
* Added if you return true on a hook, the rest of the hooks will not run.
[Phase 9]
* Added the envy.vector:newFromAngle(angle) function (thanks Borsty).
* Added more functions to the entity library, so in most cases you can just do things like
* Added entity hook onShapeCollision(data, contact).
* Added game hook onCollision(first, second, contact).
entity:setDamping() rather than entity:getBody():setDamping(). But it's your choice.
* Changed the way the takeDamage and onZeroHealth thing works. Borsty you should
switch over to takeDamage and just let us take care of the health. If you want to set
an entity's health just do entity:setHealth(health) when they spawn!
* Changed the way that the onEntityCollision callback handles the collisions.
* Changed onCollision to onEntityCollision.
[Phase 8]
* Improved the - currently shitty - parenting system.
* Added the ability to make entities derive from others (see example game).
* Added the envy.key library. Check it out, it's just a simple library to convert a key to a lower case or upper case translation of it. Don't get the wrong idea, it isn't string.lower and string.upper - haha.
* Added more stuff to the example game (Wrath) so that you can understand how things work more.
* Changed the trace system so that masks could be added. It has rendered the trace system unusable until I can figure out how to work/understand the setMask and setMaskBits functions properly. Until then you may want to use an old trace.lua file.
[Phase 7]
* Added a ton more functions to the entity library.
* Added health to entities. What is done when the entity reaches zero health is set onZeroHealth().
* Added more stuff that I am too lazy to mention.
* Fixed a ton of stuff that I am too lazy to mention.
[Phase 6]
* Added a ton more functions to the entity library and changed the way that drawing works. See the prop_physics as an example.
* Added the envy.trace library. It's for trace lines, take a look at it to see how it operates.
* Added a licence. See the licence.txt for more information.
* Added the onTakeDamage and takeDamage functions for entities.
* Added more stuff and fixed more stuff that I can't be bothered to log.
[Phase 5]
* Removed useless drawLaser and drawMode.
* Removed prop_bullet example entity.
* Removed all of the tutorial junk.
* Added a game folder.
* Added envy.timer library.
[Phase 4]
* Added a decent jumping system to the prop_physics.
[Phase 3]
* Posted the ËNVY thread on the LÖVE forums.
* Began the changelog.
