It's not, it's written in Javascript, If you're asking how to port it over... that's a much harder question.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by implemented but it's easy to copy/paste scheme colors in your projects. Choose you colors, click in export > text. You get something like this:

Code: Select all

var. 1 = #FFDE00 = rgb(255,222,0)
var. 2 = #BFAD30 = rgb(191,173,48)
var. 3 = #A69000 = rgb(166,144,0)
var. 4 = #FFE640 = rgb(255,230,64)
var. 5 = #FFED73 = rgb(255,237,115)
then just re-adapt

Code: Select all

color_v1 =  love.graphics.setColor(255,222,0)
color_v2 =  love.graphics.setColor(191,173,48)
color_v3 =  love.graphics.setColor(166,144,0)
color_v4 =  love.graphics.setColor(255,230,64)
color_v5 =  love.graphics.setColor(255,237,115)

I'm doing a character editor and a player to make it easier to choose the right color, I decided to use a palette in the game, as it is carried at in Love?

Check out that thread, yarick. There's a pretty easy way to do it if you just want to plop down an image for your palette.

color_v5 =  love.graphics.setColor(255,237,115)
Actually I prefer the easier to remember:

Code: Select all

color = {
  red = {255,0,0},
  yellow = {255,255,0}
  green = {0,255,0},
  blue = {0,0,25},
  white_trans = {255,255,255,175}
}

love.graphics.setColor(color.red)
And if you have to, you can retrieve its values with color.red[1] for its red value, [2] for green, [3] for blue and [4] for alpha if it's set.

@Jasoco, I only give that basic answer because I thought yarickyarick didn't know how to apply the values given by colourscheme to LOVE.

I actually use in the same way a huge named database coupled to a custom function

Anyway now that I understand yarickyarick intentions and back to topic you could yarickyarick instead of using a color wheel do a more simple set of RGB sliders like this for choose the guy shirt color.

By the way, that doesn't actually work. There are no color objects any more in LÖVE. Jasoco's example is the way to go.

The closest you could get to having something like that probably would be...

Code: Select all

function color_v1()
  love.graphics.setColor(255,222,0)
end
Which just obfuscates the code, in my opinion.

Well as long as you name the function something more recognizable like color_red() it'll be fine. You won't need to type or call love.graphics.setColor() yourself anymore unless you need a color not in your assortment of color functions.
