| − | AnAL (Animations And Love) is a library to replace [[0.5.0]]'s animations (removed in [[0.6.0]]), with minimum code changes for the [[Lovers|lover]]. | + | {{notice|AnAL was a compatibility library to restore 0.5.0's animation in 0.6.0, it is not actively developed and it is recommended to look at other libraries for new projects}} |
| − | | |
| − | ==Code Changes==
| |
| − | *love.graphics.newAnimation(...) becomes newAnimation(...)
| |
| − | *love.graphics.draw(anim, ...) becomes anim:draw(...)
| |
| − | *anim:setMode() uses string constants
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Compat mode===
| |
| − | It even features a compat mode, which adds love.graphics.newAnimation and changes love.graphics.draw.
| |
| − | | |
| − | <code>
| |
| − | Animations_legacy_support = true
| |
| − | </code>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Disadvantage is the changed behavior of love.graphics.draw, it calls a custom draw field on all tables passed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Tutorial==
| |
| − | Shamelessly ripped from the old 0.5.0 tutorial (on the old wiki). And now hopefully runs on 0.6.x.
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Image:Explosion.png|thumb|A simple explosion.]]
| |
| − | This is our image, information:
| |
| − | * Dimensions: 480x288 px
| |
| − | * Frame size: 96x96 px
| |
| − | * Frames: 5x3 = 15
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Now let's look at how we can load this animation.
| |
| − | <source lang="lua">
| |
| − | function love.load()
| |
| − | | |
| − | -- Load the animation source.
| |
| − | local img = love.graphics.newImage("explosion.png")
| |
| − |
| |
| − | -- Create animation.
| |
| − | anim = newAnimation(img, 96, 96, 0.1, 0)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | end
| |
| − | </source>
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | First, we need to load the source image used for the animation. Then, we create the animation with newAnimation(). The first argument should be the source image we loaded earlier. The second is the frame width, the third is the frame height, and the fourth is the delay after each frame (in seconds). You do not need to worry about the size of the image, or the number of frames; that will be taken care of for you, if you specify number of frames as 0.
| |
| − | | |
| − | When this is done, two things remain: updating the animation, and displaying it. Updating is needed, because the animation needs to know how much time has passed in order to do frame changes. The full code for a working animation is listed below.
| |
| − | <source lang="lua">
| |
| − | function love.load()
| |
| − | local img = love.graphics.newImage("explosion.png")
| |
| − | anim = newAnimation(img, 96, 96, 0.1, 0)
| |
| − | end
| |
| − | | |
| − | function love.update(dt)
| |
| − | -- Updates the animation. (Enables frame changes)
| |
| − | anim:update(dt)
| |
| − | end
| |
| − | | |
| − | function love.draw()
| |
| − | -- Draw the animation at (100, 100).
| |
| − | anim:draw(100, 100)
| |
| − | end
| |
| − | </source>
| |
| − | | |
| − | This should draw the animation at (100,100).
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Moving on to animation modes. There are three predefined animation modes: loop, once and bounce. Loop is the default behavior. With this mode enabled, the animation will restart at the first frame when it reaches the end. With once mode enabled, it will play once, and then stop. Finally, with bounce the animation will reverse itself upon reaching the ends, causing it to "ping-pong" between the first and the last frame. You can set the mode like shown in the code block below.
| |
| − | <source lang="lua">
| |
| − | function love.load()
| |
| − | local img = love.graphics.newImage("explosion.png")
| |
| − | anim = newAnimation(img, 96, 96, 0.1, 0)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | -- Mode constants:
| |
| − | -- loop
| |
| − | -- bounce
| |
| − | -- once
| |
| − |
| |
| − | -- Sets the mode to "bounce"
| |
| − | anim:setMode("bounce")
| |
| − |
| |
| − | end
| |
| − | </source>
