LÖVE

This is a noob question (I haven't started doing any tutorials to learn things yet), but I have an application in mind I'd like to build with love2d and don't know if it can even be done. I tried searching for this here but don't know the proper terms to use.

I was thinking of showing related bits of text that would be displayed physically connected to one another kind of like this:

but instead of little balls for molecules there would be connected balloons with text in them.
Is this doable with love2d, or am I barking up the wrong tree?

thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave. This is definitely doable. I would recommend you take a look at the Love2d physics library, in particular the joint class. This would allow you to connect multiple bodies together. Varying the mass of each object would produce a springy effect I would think.

cool, thanks

You would probably even be better off making it yourself if you know the physics/math for it. Would be an excellent way to test your knowledge on that and what you create will be that much more impressive to you. You'll probably learn a lot as well.
