[class] intro - the easiest way to display a video in your game
Posted: Tue Oct 24, 2017 2:40 pm
Hello,
It's my second library,Intro
!
This is a class for load videos,center-it (give the good position) and add the correct scale (if the window is too small) in your game.
It is very useful if you want to display a simple video in your game and you want a clean code !
this is an example for display a video :
Just 3 lines
two in the love.load() and one if statement in the love.draw!
HOW TO USE :
1\Make your video in the OGV format.it is strongly recommended to use ffmpeg and this line to convert:
2\Download the class and put it in your project folder.Add " require 'intro' " in the first line of your main program
3\initialize in love.load the video with intro.init(<the path of the ogv video>)
4\use theses functions :
If you want to display the video only if the video is playing,use a if statement with intro.video:isPlaying() (see the example)
In the attachment :
Why I named It "intro" ? Because in the beginning ,this class can just load add one video,and today,i think it can load multiple videos (I haven't try it)...
If you have a suggestion,an issue or you used it in your game,please reply in this post
