Making rain using Love2d

[drunken_munki]

You could cheat by using an image (a rain texture) with a mesh; each update, modifying the texture position, so it looks like it's falling; I'll create a demo thing in a jiffy
Edit: Attached. Press space to make it REAL intense, and escape exits (if you'd want to test it on android)

Edit2: Uploaded a new version, just to be sure, it checks both keycode and scancode for escape and space, maybe it will work for you now, Bobby

God that's so simple and effective, looks really nice too!

Does the rain texture need to be tilable? I've taken a closer look, doesn't seem to be.

Probably not that big of an issue if it's not tileable, but introducing some variation into the uv coordinate updating may give a more "natural" look, like how "wind" would occasionally blow the rain sideways, etc. (and using multiple layers of it certainly looks nice if i may say so myself! )

something like this?

Hello Nuno,

Very nice effect!

Would be it possible to share the code or to provide some directions to reproduce it?

Thank you

Thank you

as for the code, I explain in the post why I didn't share it, but you can look at it if you want, just download the game and unzip the love file...its open by definition

Great! Thanks so so so much, Nuno! I am looking into it now!

Great! Thanks so so so much, Nuno! I am looking into it now!

welcome the code might be a bit messy, so if you need any help, just let me know and I'll gladly explain.

PS - not sure if you are the one that bought the game on itch.io today, if you are, thanks for the tip

Yes, I was , I read your post on why the game is free, and I just decided to make a donation considering the incredible amount of work you have done.

I am looking into the code and I am trying to extract just the part I am interested. Indeed, I just had a partial success (sky and clouds working, but no rain), and your offer of helping me is truly appreciated.

I will review the code this week and next week (I hope to have time) and, if you don't mind, I will contact you if I have questions

Thank you so much for your availability and prompt response, Nuno. Truly appreciate it!

Thank you so much for share this with us!
I am using it on my game!
I will give you credit!

Necroing aside, you're welcome!

Still, now that this happened, i have an excuse to say that the .love file in my previous attachment didn't deal with the fact that the screen seemingly became "lighter" when the rain was overlaid, since the droplets are white; this one actually corrects that. (press space to change weather, there's 3 separate modes)
