A Geometry is a collection of vertices describing a non self-intersecting
(simple) polygon. In addition to screen coordinates, the vertices have
attributes for texture coordinates (s,t) and color (r,g,b,a).
It can be used as a quad, to display distorted images, or anything in between.
Added:
^^^^^^
-- geometry from table, where table has the format:
-- info = {
-- {x,y, s,t, [r = 255, g = 255, b = 255, a = 255]}
-- {x,y, s,t, [r = 255, g = 255, b = 255, a = 255]}
-- ...
-- }
geom = love.graphics.newGeometry(info)
-- convenience wrapper for quads (same as before)
geom = love.graphics.newQuad(x,y, w,h, sw,sh)
-- retrieve vertex i (1-indexed)
x,y,s,t,r,g,b,a = geom:getVertex(i)
-- set vertex i (1-indexed)
geom:setVertex(i, x,y, s,t, [r,g,b,a])
-- flip geometry
geom:flip(x, y)
Renamed:
^^^^^^^^
love.graphics.drawq() -> love.graphics.drawg()
Removed:
^^^^^^^^
quad:setViewport()
quad:getViewport()
love::math::Math is now a singleton, so other modules can use it via
love::math::Math::instance.
Removed duplicate implementations of various rng helper functions.
ParticleSystem now uses love::math::Math's RNG.
New function: love.math.triangulate(vertices)
Accepts a table or list of x/y coordinate pairs and returns a table of tables.
The inner tables are the triangles the polygon is composed of.
Works on all *simple* polygons, i.e. a closed chain of vertices that does not
intersect itself. Attempting to triangulate non-simple polygons is undefined
behavior - in the best case it throws an error, in the worst case it returns
an invalid triangulation.
Polygons must be ordered in *clockwise order* with respect to the love
coordinate system. Attempting to triangulate a ccw polygon will throw an
error.
Examples:
triangles = love.math.triangulate(0,0, 1,1, 2,0, 2,2, 0,2)
triangles == {
{1,1, 2,0, 2,2},
{1,1, 2,2, 0,2},
{1,1, 0,2, 0,0},
}
triangles = love.math.triangulate({0,0, 1,1, 2,0, 2,2, 0,2})
-- same as above
triangles = love.math.triangulate(0,2, 2,2, 2,0, 1,1, 0,0)
-- error - polygons is in counterclockwise order
triangles = love.math.triangulate(0,0, 1,3, 2,0, 2,2, 0,2)
-- undefined behavior - polygon intersects itself (because of edge 1,3)
New particles are spawned around the particle emitter position according to a
configurabe distribution.
New functionality:
particlesystem:setAreaSpread(distributon, x, y)
distribution, x, y = particlesystem:getAreaSpread()
Where `distribution' is one of "none", "uniform", "normal".
`x' and `y' take different meaning based on the distribution:
* none: no area spread - particles spawned at emitter position.
* uniform: particle spawned at px,py in the rectangle around emitter
position ex,ey, i.e.:
ex - x < px < ex + x, ey - y < py < ey + y,
* normal: particle position drawn from a normal/gaussian distribution
with mean ex,ey and standard deviation x,y, i.e.:
px \in N(ex, x²), py \in N(ey, y²).
