CAMERA: scrolling and scaling

[osuf oboys]

That is funky effect, but the debug text (like the amount of BALLS that have been drawn seems to be subject to the rotation, which I am guessing isn't a part of the point?

It does not rotate with the ball but on its own (15 degrees per second I think). I should have made it clearer that it's part of the demonstration.

Ah, right. I got confused. That demo is so damn trippy

Honestly I emphatically and whole-heartedly vote that Camera be made a standard part of Love. This is probably the most useful library yet.

I agree, this is brilliant. I was going to start writing my own, but found this and well it does the job great.

nice library, i think i'll use it in my game. BTW, your signature would make much more sense if there was a link to explanation of what LCPL actually is.

This is pretty awesome!
You can cheat by pressing left in the boxclimber... Hold it, do high jumps!

I'm pretty sure line 533 should have a nil instead of a mil.

Code: Select all

       function love.mouse.getY()
		return camera.present:unpos(nil, camera.love.mouse.getY())
	end

EDIT: Ooops. That's already fixed. Wasn't used to use a wiki as VCS. My fault.

It doesn't make a difference, really. The global variable "mil" probably has not been set, so it evaluates to nil anyway.
I think it will be a tad slower, but it's probably not noticeable.

Thanks for your comments. I have uploaded the latest version to the thread.

Wasn't used to use a wiki as VCS.

The intention was that people would adapt the module to what they believed the community needed, rather than what I believed, and to do so with a wiki-like attitude. qubodup has been editing the information on the wiki, but so far noone but myself has edited the module itself.
