Can I set a colour key for an image?

Post by Jake »

Can I create an image from something.gif and then make anything that is pink (255,0,255) transparent? Pixel images are easy to edit in MSPaint :D

Does Love support this (Nothing in the docs)? I know there is a SDL_SetColorKey function.

Sorry, LÖVE does not support this. You'll have to use some sort of alpha-capable format. Transparent pixels in normal GIFs may end up as transparent in LÖVE, but I've never actually tried it. :D

As for SDL_SetColorKey, we're not using SDL_surfaces, so that won't work.

Ah okay, it was just for convenience really. Transparent PNGs work fine.
