No forum post yet. Go to the Issue Tracker for bugs. Look around for TechnoCat if you have any further questions or concerns.

Features

  • StayBottle, bottles that stay until a button is pressed.
  • TimedBottle, bottles that stay until a button is pressed or until a duration of time has passed.
  • Ocean, a management object for Bottles
  • Very (and hopefully easily) Configurable Bottles
  • Sleek and Stylish Bottle defaults

Missing Features

Not implemented yet, but plan to.

  • Boolean Bottles
  • Choice Bottles

Configuring

Much of the configuration you are going to want to do will take place at the top of MessageInABottle.lua.

Constructors

MessageBottle

Do not use this. It is the parent class of all Bottles.

MessageBottle:new(id, text)
string id
The unique identifier of the Bottle. e.g. "Open Door"
string text
The text to display on the Bottle. e.g. "Will you open the door?"

StayBottle

StayBottle:new(id, text)
string id
The unique identifier of the Bottle. e.g. "Open Door"
string text
The text to display on the Bottle. e.g. "Will you open the door?"

TimeBottle

TimeBottle:new(id, text, timeout)
string id
The unique identifier of the Bottle. e.g. "Open Door"
string text
The text to display on the Bottle. e.g. "Will you open the door?"
number timeout
The amount of time the bottle will display for.

Setter Functions

setX

MessageBottle:setX(x)
number x
The x position of the Bottle

setY

MessageBottle:setY(y)
number y
The y position of the Bottle

setPosition

MessageBottle:setPosition(x, y)
number x
The x position of the Bottle
number y
The y position of the Bottle

setWidt

MessageBottle:setWidth(width)
number width
The width of the Bottle

setHeight

MessageBottle:setHeight(height)
number height
The height of the Bottle

setButton

MessageBottle:setButton(button)
KeyConstant button
The button the Bottle will use.

setEase

MessageBottle:setEase(ease)
function ease
The ease function to use for easing-in.

setEaseTime

MessageBottle:setEaseTime(easeTime)
number easeTime
The time to spend easing-in.

setFade

MessageBottle:setFade(fade)
function fade
The fade function to use for fading-in.

setFadeTime

MessageBottle:setFadeTime(fadeTime)
number fadeTime
The time to spend fading-in.

setEnterCallback

MessageBottle:setEnterCallback(enterCB)
function enterCB
The callback function to call on opening a bottle.

setExitCallback

MessageBottle:setEnterCallback(exitCB)
function exitCB
The callback function to call on exiting a bottle.

setSound

MessageBottle:setSound(sound)
string sound
The location of a sound file.

setVolume

MessageBottle:setVolume(volume)
number volume
The volume of the sound. Normal volume is 1.0.

setIndicator

MessageBottle:setIndicator(indicator)
string indicator
The location of the indicator image file. The indicator is the icon that bounces up and down on certain bottles.

setFgColor

MessageBottle:setFgColor(r, g, b, a)
number r
The red value from 0-255.
number g
The green value from 0-255.
number b
The blue value from 0-255.
number a
The alpha value from 0-255.

setFont

MessageBottle:setFont(font, size)
string font
The location of the font file.
number size
The point value size.

setBgColor

MessageBottle:setFgColor(r, g, b, a)
number r
The red value from 0-255.
number g
The green value from 0-255.
number b
The blue value from 0-255.
number a
The alpha value from 0-255.

setBgRadius

MessageBottle:setBgRadius(r)
number r
The radius of the corners.

setBgRadiusSegments

MessageBottle:setBgRadiusSegments(n)
number n
The number of segments to draw on each corner.

Example

require 'MessageInABottle.lua'

function love.load()
  love.graphics.setBackgroundColor(255,255,255)
  
  --Initialize the ocean to manage the bottles.
  --It is going to act as a Queue. FIFO
  ocean = Ocean:new()
  
  --Create a timed bottle and add it to the ocean
  ocean:addBottle(TimeBottle:new(nil,"...",nil))
  
  local bottle = StayBottle:new(nil,"What is this?")
  bottle:setX(310)
  bottle:setVolume(0)
  ocean:addBottle(bottle)
end

function love.update(dt)
  ocean:update(dt)
end

function love.draw()
  background:draw()
  love.graphics.setColor(0,0,0)
  love.graphics.print(
      'last bottle return was: '..ocean.response..
      ' at '..(math.floor(ocean.responseTime*10)/10)..
      's from '..ocean.responseID,12,12)
  ocean:draw()
end

function love.keypressed(k,u)
  if k=="d" then
    local x = math.floor(math.random(400))
    local y = math.floor(math.random(150))
    ocean:addBottle(TimeBottle:new("PRESSED_D","Timed Box!"))
  elseif k=="escape" then
    love.event.push("q")
  end
end
