[PROJECT] Löve2D boilerplate

[FireZenk]

Hi,
I am new to Löve2D but I have quite expenciencia in programming world.
I thought that together we could make a "starter kit" to have a full stuff to begin each new project with Löve2D,
for now I've started on github and I hope your help.

The idea is that every time someone needs to start a new project can simply clone the repository and have a good template for a quick start to develop.

Git clone: https://github.com/FireZenk/L-ve2D-boilerplate.git

Looks neat, but I'd move away from using the module function to create your modules. It's depreciated in Lua 5.2, so if LOVE ever makes the switch you'd need to restructure all your modules.

Thanks, and how modules are now created with LUA 5.2?

I usually just wrap all my module functions in a table as the end of the file, and return it:

Code: Select all

local function foo(a)
  --...
end

local function bar(a)
  --...
end

return {
  foo = foo,
  bar = bar,
}

Alternatively, if you'd rather not write local all the time, declare a table and make functions values in the table:

Code: Select all

local Module = {}

function Module.foo(a)
  --...
end

function Module.bar(a)
  --...
end

return Module

Ok, thanks! will update ASAP!

EDIT:
I need to do something to access these modules from the main.lua using your second option? with "require" does not work.

Code: Select all

--module.lua
local module = {}
module.foo = function()--[[...]]end
module.bar = function()--[[...]]end
return module

--main.lua
fooBar = require 'module'
fooBar.foo()
fooBar.bar()
