PointBatch prototype

Post by Xgoff »

not much to say that isn't described in pbapi.md, but basically it's a way to have per-vertex colors and coordinates, which is pretty nice for some things. especially advanced things, because this is a fairly advanced feature

still wip, docs are not entirely correct, etc. i also don't know if it'll run on osx. also you need a luajit2 build of love to run it, because once you go ffi you don't go back!

includes a pretty crappy test demo thing

Some progress - I no longer get Love complaining but isn't you're demo more than a blank (black) screen?

you should be seeing a multicolored wiggly love logo

try enabling the console in conf.lua (should add that file to the repo...) and see if there's any output (probably not, but who knows)

EDIT: okay i updated the repo. if you could post the contents of the glext.txt file that gets generated when you run the test file, that would be awesome

yes

i'm not quite sure then... your card supposedly supports vertex buffer objects (but then again it's an intel igp so it may well by lying) i'll implement a vertex array fallback soon and see if that helps, although i might not be able to work on this for a couple of days

EDIT: do spritebatches work correctly? if they do then at least i know it's a problem in my code

SpriteBatch works fine so no need to tromp on my mule. :>)
Really look forward to seeing what can be done with PointBatch.
Best
