Make the metods for your objects and send the grid to them as object:update (grid, dt)

Each object (player, enemy, etc.) will have their position initialized using x and y coordinates. Then you can easily update it based on your algo and interaction and draw it.
E.g.:
Code: Select all
passengers[i] = {location = {x = start_x, y = start_y}, destination = {x = end_x, y = end_y}, walking = true, at_stop = false, waiting_for = false, on_board = false, dwell_time = dwell_time}Re: Grid in game

Or
you then have to translate that information to a grid in love.draw()
Code: Select all
local person = {}
person[1].x = 50
person[1].y = 50
person[2].x = 100
person[2].y = 20
...

Actually the Bump.lua principle: one chunk (some bigger type of tile) can have multiple objects and one object can be in several chunks simultaneously.

Sure, if you want something more complicated. If you just simply need to attach objects to a grid, both examples above will work.darkfrei wrote: ↑Thu Mar 02, 2023 8:06 am Actually the Bump.lua principle: one chunk (some bigger type of tile) can have multiple objects and one object can be in several chunks simultaneously.
