{{#set:Description=C++ program taking a HGE psi file and converting it to Lua source code to create an equivalent particle system in LÖVE.}}

Latest revision as of 00:38, 12 November 2016

psi2love.cpp is a small C++ program which takes a HGE psi file and outputs Lua source code to create an equivalent particle system in LÖVE.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <math.h>

struct hgeColor
{
	float		r,g,b,a;
};

struct hgeParticleSystemInfo
{
	uint32_t sprite; // hgeSprite*	sprite;    // texture + blend mode
	int32_t nEmission; // int			nEmission; // particles per sec
	float		fLifetime;

	float		fParticleLifeMin;
	float		fParticleLifeMax;

	float		fDirection;
	float		fSpread;
	int32_t bRelative; // bool		bRelative;

	float		fGravityMax;

	float		fRadialAccelMin;
	float		fRadialAccelMax;

	float		fTangentialAccelMin;
	float		fTangentialAccelMax;

	float		fSizeStart;
	float		fSizeEnd;
	float		fSizeVar;

	float		fSpinStart;
	float		fSpinEnd;
	float		fSpinVar;

	hgeColor	colColorStart; // + alpha
	hgeColor	colColorEnd;
	float		fColorVar;
	float		fAlphaVar;
};

int main( int argc, const char* argv[] )
{
	if ( argc != 5 )
	{
		fprintf( stderr, "USAGE: psi2love filename.psi func_name image_name max_particles\n" );

	if ( fread( &info, 1, sizeof( info ), psi ) != sizeof( info ) )
	{
		fprintf( stderr, "Error: %s\n", strerror( errno ) );
		fclose( psi );
		return 1;
	}
	
	fclose( psi );
	
	printf( "local function %s()\n", argv[ 2 ] );
	printf( "  -- created from %s\n", argv[ 1 ] );
	printf( "\n" );

	// nEmission
	printf( "  ps:setEmissionRate( %d )\n", info.nEmission );
	
	// fLifetime
	printf( "  ps:setLifetime( %g )%s\n", info.fLifetime, info.fLifetime == -1.0 ? " -- forever" : "" );
	
	// fParticleLifeMin, fParticleLifeMax
	printf( "  ps:setParticleLife( %g, %g )\n", info.fParticleLifeMin, info.fParticleLifeMax );
	
	// fDirection
	printf( "  ps:setDirection( %g )\n", info.fDirection - M_PI / 2 );

	printf( "  ps:setSize( %g, %g ) -- there's a bug in 0.7.1 that forces us to set the size variation using its own function\n", info.fSizeStart, info.fSizeEnd );
	printf( "  ps:setSizeVariation( %g )\n", info.fSizeVar );
	
	// fSpinStart, fSpinEnd, fSpinVar

		(int)(info.colColorStart.r * 255), (int)(info.colColorStart.g * 255), (int)(info.colColorStart.b * 255), (int)(info.colColorStart.a * 255),
		(int)(info.colColorEnd.r * 255), (int)(info.colColorEnd.g * 255), (int)(info.colColorEnd.b * 255), (int)(info.colColorEnd.a * 255)

	// fColorVar
	printf( "  -- ps:setColorVariation( %g )\n", info.fColorVar );
	
	// fAlphaVar
	printf( "  -- ps:setAlphaVariation( %g )\n", info.fAlphaVar );
	
	printf( "\n" );
	printf( "  return ps\n" );
	printf( "end\n" );
	
	return 0;
}

To compile with MinGW, just type "g++ -o psi2love psi2love.cpp" on the prompt.

The bRelative, fColorVar and fAlphaVar members of HGE's particle system structure don't have counterparts in LÖVE so I generate them in comments.

Just make sure to change the parameters to love.graphics.newParticleSystem in the generated function. I've tested with a couple of emitters created with HGE's particle editor and the results were satisfactory.

Have fun!
