Make the metods for your objects and send the grid to them as object:update (grid, dt)

How to make all objects in the game act on a grid?

Each object (player, enemy, etc.) will have their position initialized using x and y coordinates. Then you can easily update it based on your algo and interaction and draw it.

E.g.:

Code: Select all

passengers[i] = {location = {x = start_x, y = start_y}, destination = {x = end_x, y = end_y}, walking = true, at_stop = false, waiting_for = false, on_board = false, dwell_time = dwell_time}

Or

Code: Select all

local person = {}
person[1].x = 50
person[1].y = 50
person[2].x = 100
person[2].y = 20
...

you then have to translate that information to a grid in love.draw()

Actually the Bump.lua principle: one chunk (some bigger type of tile) can have multiple objects and one object can be in several chunks simultaneously.

Sure, if you want something more complicated. If you just simply need to attach objects to a grid, both examples above will work.
