Creating Custom Drawables?

Hey!

Is there a way, in a regular LÖVE game, to create a new "Drawable" object, i.e. one that can be drawn using love.graphics.draw?
If so, how would I go about doing that?

Thanks!

Not without rebuilding Love2D. Drawable is a C++ thing so you can't create C++ object from Lua. FFI won't help you in this case.
In theory you could just replace the default love.graphics.draw function with your own but it's ugly and I wouldn't recommend it.

Hi, what exactly are you trying to do, visually?

If you want different shapes, then there are quite a few ways to make those (Polygons, Meshes); you don't need your own Drawable class.

On an unrelated note, it would be cool if "Body" was "Drawable" for debug purposes.
