I think it would make sense with a thread for posting bugs.
I tried running this simple .love attached below. Basically what it does is
Code: Select all
function love.update(dt)
if love.mouse.isDown("l") then
x = x + -(x - love.mouse.getX())/100
y = y + -(y - love.mouse.getY())/100
end
end
function love.load()
pic = love.graphics.newImage("res/neco.png")
x = 100
y = 100
end
function love.draw()
love.graphics.setScissor(100,100,100,100)
love.graphics.draw(pic,x,y)
end
And the result looks like
While scissors seem to work, they cause graphical glitches everywhere else. Ran on my HTC Desire with CM7, with Love-android downaloaded today.

You mean for love-android? For regular love, there is a bugtracker here:
https://bitbucket.org/rude/love/issues? ... tatus=open
For love-android, maybe we could use github system?

Confirmed. I have got the same effect (also HTC Desire).

ah i see what the problem is, love-android clears the screen with the background color every frame, but once you call setScissors the clearing is limited to the scissor area.
a workaround would be calling setScissor() without params at the end of the love.draw, but we'll also fix it eventually so that this isn't necessary

Obviously I mean love-android bugs. If you prefer bugs being posted on the github, then just say so. I thought a thread would be convinient because everyone who use love-android already have accounts for the löve forums, but more or less only developers have github accounts.

That question should be answered by ghoulsblade or hagish, because they are the developers. I made only a suggestion

You might be right here...

Considering they commit to the repo, they would most likely prefer bugs there, as they can be closed, resolved by specific commits. There's a lot of integration tools between the repo and the bug tracker that they would want to take advantage of.

urrrrr, never really done much with github issue stuff
soooo i'd say it's fine to just make a forum thread here, maybe put [BUG] in front of the title for easy view =)
if it's something small and you don't wanna make a new thread, just post it in this thread.

Another thing I've noticed after playing around a bit is that love-android is very inconsistent. More often than not, running a .love file will fail once, giving random error messages, only to work when I try it again a second later. I guess this is a known issue but is seems really wierd.

wild guess, without testing specifically with exactly the app that has the problem,
but probably also be related to the threading problem messing up newImage during keypress rather than love.load .
i guess we'll just have to make a messagequeue for all android event stuff,
and trigger them during the update+draw stepper to make sure every lua code is run from the render-thread where it has access to graphics stuff.

Actually changed the code to only create images in love.load and this still happens, albeit less often.
Also, I noticed that love.event.push('q') doesn't work. That's kind of important.
