Producing animations from one picture?

[Lua Hal]

Code: Select all

function love.load()
runningbunny=love.image.newImageData("NPCs\/BunnyRunning.png")
frames={}
for i = 1,runningbunny:getWidth()/32 do
frames[i]=love.image.newImageData(32,32):paste(runningbunny,0,0,(i-1)*32,0,32,32)
end
end
function love.draw()
for i = 1,#frames do
love.graphics.draw(frames[i],0,0)
love.graphics.print(i,0,32)
love.timer.sleep(10)
end
love.timer.sleep(10)
end

Nothing happens to the screen...

I want it to split an image into 32x32 pictures. on the X axis only, and then animate them in a loop.

Thanks!

You can't draw ImageData directly, you need to create an Image from it first.

That said, you'd be much better served to use Quads to handle your animation.

You can do this using the AnAL library.

I never understood the need for the AnAL library. Letting each game object store the quads it needs in a table, and simply have it draw the quad you want at every given time, is really simple. An automated way of creating the quads you want from any picture is also quite trivial.

There's no need for it, but it's functionality used to be a core feature of LÖVE and some people miss it.
