It might help you to take a look at Uare. One of the buttons on the button sample there has exactly the behavior you want, and the whole thing is short enough that you can likely wrap your mind around it quickly and see what you're doing differently.

While i can appreciate the work put in the project, the hoops required to be done might put people off to build this themselves... For a tool, it's probably fine. For a snippet, one could just use this: love.system.setClipboardText(colorFromValueString(love.system.getClipboardText())) or something ...

It is. Mostly because the various places I've been copying color codes from either do rgb, rrggbb, rgba, rrggbbaa, sometimes with quotes, sometimes with leading # or not, depending on which program/site I'm using. And because I wanted it to act directly on the clipboard. The way I use it is with a m...

With the change to color components being (0,1) instead of (0,255), I've found it harder to convert between color pickers or paint programs and LÖVE. For 10.x, I'd just see #cdcdcd and type {0xcd, 0xcd, 0xcd, 0xff}. I need a calculator for 11.x :-) That got painful enough that I made a gadget which ...

Thanks! That's much neater. And it looks a lot like how I'd hoped the stencil I was trying at first would work. I'm going to have to throw that shader language on the pile of things I want to learn more about. Is there any introductory material for GLSL (with or without LÖVE) which you consider espe...

I'm pretty new to LÖVE and to lua, so please point out if I'm missing something even if it seems really obvious. For a title screen, I want to draw some text on the screen, such that the fill pattern on the letters is an image rather than a solid color. Think of something like this: Screenshot_20200...
