Prynok wrote:Hello! I recently have gotten back into LOVE, and have tried messing around with loading Tiled levels from scratch. Everything works fine, but there seems to be one problem. Quads make the image blurry. Especially when scaling. Is there any to fix this? I saw a solution by adding a border around each sprite, but that seems like a way to get around the problem instead of fixing it.

Thanks!

EDIT: That was embarrassing. Instead of using quads, it is easier to break up the image into smaller ones with ImageData, using paste. Thanks anyways!

Doing it that way will ruin the idea of spritesheet completely. You can as well not use it at all, simply using a set of separate images. What is wrong with using 1px borders? This is a small price for effectiveness given by spritesheet + quads.

There are still tons of uses for sprite sheets with this method. Since there are more patterns, a image compression program can compress it down more. Also, can you explain the effectiveness of quads? I don't think I understand.

Thanks!

-- what you write:
love.graphics.draw(Image.enemy, e.x, e.y)
love.graphics.draw(Image.player, p.x, p.y)

-- what I'd write
love.graphics.draw(Image.all, e.quad, e.x, e.y)
love.graphics.draw(Image.all, p.quad, p.x, p.y)

// your way:
main() {
  all = loadImage("all")
  enemy = pushToGPU(getPart(all, "enemy"))
  player  = pushToGPU(getPart(all, "player"))
  
  // everything else
  while ( true) {
    setTexture( enemy )
    drawQuad( buildQuad( e.x, e.y, ... ) )
    setTexture( player )
    drawQuad( buildQuad( p.x, p.y, ... ) )
  }
}

// my way:
