i made this for this upcoming jam:
https://itch.io/jam/lowrezjam2016
made this so its easy to get to work on a low resolution project, dynamically scales for window mode.
hope anyone else can use this, and maybe wants to join in on that game jam.
maid64 version 1.0
maid64 version 1.1
github
maid64 version 1.5
https://github.com/adekto/maid64/tree/master/legacy
maid64 version 1.6
https://github.com/adekto/maid64
main.lua (v1.0)
Code: Select all
require "maid64"
function love.load()
--optional settings for window
love.window.setMode(640, 640, {resizable=true, vsync=false, minwidth=200, minheight=200})
--initilizing maid64 for use and set to 64x64 mode
maid64(64)
--loading test sprite
maid = love.graphics.newImage("maid64.png")
--setting the test sprite's filter so it wont do any anti-aliasing
maid:setFilter("nearest","nearest")
rotate = 0
end
function love.update(dt)
--rotation for test sprite
rotate = rotate + dt
end
function maid64_draw()
--this is where you do image drawing
--test sprite
love.graphics.draw(maid,32,32,rotate,1,1,32,32)
end
maid64.lua (v1.0)
Code: Select all
function maid64(pixels)
maid64 = {}
maid64.size = pixels or 64
maid64.scaler = love.graphics.getHeight() / maid64.size
maid64.x = love.graphics.getWidth()/2-(maid64.scaler*(maid64.size/2))
maid64.y = love.graphics.getHeight()/2-(maid64.scaler*(maid64.size/2))
maid64.canvas = love.graphics.newCanvas(maid64.size, maid64.size)
maid64.canvas:setFilter("nearest","nearest")
end
function love.draw()
love.graphics.setCanvas(maid64.canvas)
love.graphics.clear()
maid64_draw()
love.graphics.setCanvas()
love.graphics.draw(maid64.canvas, maid64.x,maid64.y,0,maid64.scaler,maid64.scaler)
end
function love.resize(w, h)
if h < w then
maid64.scaler = h / maid64.size
else
maid64.scaler = w / maid64.size
end
maid64.x = w/2-(maid64.scaler*(maid64.size/2))
maid64.y = h/2-(maid64.scaler*(maid64.size/2))
end

I saw this jam on twitter a few hours ago - this might be a nifty library to use! Thanks!

pixelated font, hopfully its readeble (have to test it still)

Set minwidth=64, minheight=64 in main.lua:5 for the real deal.

Looking forward to #lowrezjam!
EDIT:
I combined maid64 and love3d. It kind of works...

Skipped the letter 'N', other than that, it works

whoops, il try and fix that, im not to happy about it and will probebly change.
maybe something not to well explained is the init parameter you can change, for example if you like the pico8 resolution:
Code: Select all
--initilizing maid64 for 128x128
maid64(128)

not sure if i should add a shader selection to maid64, any ideas or sugestions?
made a cga mode and some others just to try it out, never done anything like this
Code: Select all
mode = {
[[ // mode 1 - CGA mode
vec4 effect( vec4 color, Image texture, vec2 texture_coords, vec2 screen_coords )
{
vec4 texcolor = Texel(texture, texture_coords);
vec4 col = step(0.5,texcolor);
if(col == vec4(1.,1.,1.,1.)) return col * color;
if(col == vec4(0.,0.,0.,1.)) return col * color;
if(col.r == 1.0) col = vec4(1.,0.,1.,col.a);
if(col.r == 0.) col = vec4(0.,1.,1.,col.a);
return col * color;
}
]]
,
[[ // mode 2 - prime color mode
vec4 effect( vec4 color, Image texture, vec2 texture_coords, vec2 screen_coords )
{
vec4 texcolor = Texel(texture, texture_coords);
return step(0.5,texcolor) * color;
}
]]
,
[[ // mode 3 - 8bit color mode?
vec4 effect( vec4 color, Image texture, vec2 texture_coords, vec2 screen_coords )
{
vec4 texcolor = Texel(texture, texture_coords);
return ((step(0.25,texcolor)+step(0.75,texcolor))/2)* color;
}
]]
}
shader = love.graphics.newShader(mode[1])
love.graphics.setShader(shader)

this is really great and showed up exactly when i started having problems with my resolutions.
I fiddled around with your implementation and got rid of maid64_draw since i wanted to use states. now everything occurs in love.draw() again. Also i changed it so now all the functions fall under the maid64 variable. this means that all of the function calls are maid64.something which makes it feel more like a library. I wont bother uploading a .love since this is functionally the same .
main.lua
Code: Select all
require "maid64"
function love.load()
love.window.setMode(640, 640, {resizable=true, vsync=false, minwidth=200, minheight=200})
maid64.setup(64)--This has been changed from maid64 it just looks nicer idk
maid = love.graphics.newImage("maid64.png")
maid:setFilter("nearest","nearest")
rotate = 0
end
function love.update(dt)
rotate = rotate + dt
end
function love.draw()
--now all of your drawing occurs in love.draw
maid64.start()--starts the maid64 process
--all of your drawing goop goes in the middle
love.graphics.draw(maid,32,32,rotate,1,1,32,32)
maid64.finish()--finishes
end
function love.resize(w, h)-- i moved this to main.lua since i like having all the base love. functions in here
maid64.resize(w, h)
end
maid64.lua
Code: Select all
maid64 = {}--I declare maid64 up here. Its a global anyway so this is better practice than in in a function
function maid64.setup(pixels)-- maid64 is now maid64.setup
maid64.size = pixels or 64
maid64.scaler = love.graphics.getHeight() / maid64.size
maid64.x = love.graphics.getWidth()/2-(maid64.scaler*(maid64.size/2))
maid64.y = love.graphics.getHeight()/2-(maid64.scaler*(maid64.size/2))
maid64.canvas = love.graphics.newCanvas(maid64.size, maid64.size)
maid64.canvas:setFilter("nearest","nearest")
end
maid64.start = function ()--part of maid64_draw is now maid64.start
love.graphics.setCanvas(maid64.canvas)
love.graphics.clear()
end
maid64.finish = function () --The other half of maid64_draw is now maid64.finish
love.graphics.setCanvas()
love.graphics.draw(maid64.canvas, maid64.x,maid64.y,0,maid64.scaler,maid64.scaler)
end
function maid64.resize(w, h)-- this is a function for neatnesses sake
if h < w then
maid64.scaler = h / maid64.size
else
maid64.scaler = w / maid64.size
end
maid64.x = w/2-(maid64.scaler*(maid64.size/2))
maid64.y = h/2-(maid64.scaler*(maid64.size/2))
end

Another jam this system would be great for!
