A zoom is a scale operation, and if you want to scale something (like a UV coordinate) based on some point other than the origin, then you need to chain the operations carefully so the scale happens relative to that point. So say you have a 2D space, with a point A somewhere and a point B somewhere....

For sure. There are probably a few different ways to do false 3D effects. Here's one, very hastily done: https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=258506#p258506 (Edit: to run it, you download that Parallax_Scrolling.love file, then either drag-and-drop it onto love.exe, or run the command line &quo...

Thanks for the tip!

This is an example of how to use the LuaJIT FFI to bind the (obsolete) GetOpenFileNameW() and GetSaveFileNameW() functions from WIN32 so that you can get native dialogs that properly display content on both ASCII and Unicode encodings. So things like the dialog title and the filename, as well as the...

I posted these two articles in another thread, but the subject was different so I'll repost them here instead of linking there.

I'd like to learn to use the LOVE2D engine as a spare time thing, and I don't want to start off very ambitious, so I was wondering if anyone had good advice on how to start off once I've gotten through the basics of the engine? (...) Would this be a good place to start & work towards or should ...

Hi. Read the error message, it's worth gold: main.lua:9: attempt to index field 'spriteSheet' (a nil value) It says the error is on your "main.lua" script, on line #9, which happens to be this: player.grid = anim8.newGrid( 12, 18, player.spriteSheet:getWidth(), player.spriteSheet:getHeight...

Your image doesn't look like a polygon, but like something painted / raster data. Is your input shape polygonal, or is it a bitmap, or something else? Is it supposed to be animated? Is the center always in the same position, or do you need to calculate the nearest center towards some arbitrary point...

And a really quick question: If off screen objects are using memory like "setting a pipes X coordinate to -100" how could you actually destroy them once they are no longer used. The Lua language standard defines a memory managed environment, and the LuaJIT interpreter used by Löve follows...

Was there a reason why you didn't post the actual code that causes the error?
