Cameras in Love2D (Tutorials)

Consider adding them to the wiki, they are much easier to find there.

Will do.

Thanks for the awesome tutorials and code I've just implemented it tonight, and it works really well.
Just one problem I've had... my mouse cursor position doesn't seem to update as the camera moves. How would I be able to correct this?

Thanks for the feedback.

Can you explain what you mean?

I'm assuming love.mouse.getPosition()
You'll have to do the same transformations you do to the camera, to the cursor positions.

If that's the case, then I explained that in part 1. Although I didn't show it in the tutorial (as it's a matter of taste), I personally redefine love.mouse.getPosition/getX/getY to do those transformations.

Technocat, I tried to do it that way, but it didn't work properly.... I can't even begin to describe the bug I was getting. *_*
After checking the tutorials again I got it right, thanks BlackBulletIV!

You'll have to do it in reverse order.
X -> X' camera translation
X' -> X cursor translation

Glad to be of help!

Nice tutorial, these camera coords are top left correct? if so I might recommend adding a centering option to the set position and scalar, zooming especially looks really confusing if the camera doesn't stay centered on the same point.
