It lets you do floating text, commonly used for displaying combat text in JRPGs

Simple example:

PopupTextManagerInstance:addPopup(
    {
        text = "Example Text",
        font = yourFontInstance
        color = {r = 255, g = 0, b = 0, a = 255},
        x = 200,
        y = 200,
        scaleX = 4,
        scaleY = 4,
        fadeIn = {start = 0.2, finish = 0.7},
        fadeOut = {start = 0.7, finish = 2},
        dX = 40,
        dY = 40,
        duration = 2
    })

Was probably made for a different löve version.

I'm sorry, I've updated on the same day the code in the manager, but forgot about main, it needed simply to change from 'additive' to 'add', it is already updated on github
