My first class that i've developed was my Image class.
I proceeded to derive from that class (once again theorectically) to make my sprite class and replicate the 'Hamster Ball' only without key movement. it just rolls off the screen. I hope to work to create even more classes and spread my classes throughout the community.
The Code Below Is Still Under Testing!
Code: Select all
-- Love OO Library Class Sets
Image = {} -- Create a table to hold the class methods
function Image:Create(filepath) -- The constructor
local object = { img = love.graphics.newImage(filepath) }
setmetatable(object, { __index = Image }) -- Inheritance
return object
end
function Image:Draw(x,y)
love.graphics.draw(self.img,x,y)
end
-- Sprite
Sprite = {} -- Create a table to hold the class methods
function Sprite:Create(filepath) -- The constructor
local object = { img = Image:Create(filepath), x = 0,y = 0 }
setmetatable(object, { __index = Sprite }) -- Inheritance
return object
end
function Sprite:Update(xacc,yacc)
self.x = self.x+xacc
self.y = self.y+yacc
end
-- Using this as a test.
-- Tutorial 1: Hamster Ball
-- Add an image to the game and move it around using
-- the arrow keys.
-- compatible with löve 0.6.0
function love.load()
hamster = Sprite:Create("ball.png")
end
function love.update(dt)
hamster:Update(1,1)
end
function love.draw()
hamster.img:Draw(hamster.x,hamster.y)
end
ex. I could have a table filled with my Sprite Class and just run through the table rather than each sprite class over and over.
