- Type names for love's Lua objects are specified as an argument to luax_register_type, rather than being statically defined in an array.
- luax_register_type takes a variable number of method array arguments, for registering superclass methods without copying them into the subclass' method array.
Also removed most of the header declarations for wrapper functions.
It has two variants: showMessageBox(type, title, message [, attachtowindow=true]), and showMessageBox(type, title, message, buttons [, attachtowindow=true]). The former shows a simple message box with a single OK button, and the latter displays several buttons. The buttons argument is an array of button names.
The second variant returns the index of the pressed button, or 0 if the message box was closed some other way. showMessageBox will block until the message box is closed (and it can't be called on a separate thread.)
love.window.getWidth/getHeight were originally added to help deal with high-dpi mode, but the API ended up going in a different direction (love.window.getPixelScale).
--HG--
branch : minor
Added a ‘highdpi’ boolean flag to t.window/love.window.setMode (defaults to false.)
When the window is actually in high-dpi mode on a supported display, the graphics width and height and the mouse position are in pixels, rather than ‘window coordinates’.
Added love.window.getPixelScale. Returns the scale factor of the window from user-space points to pixels (e.g. it will be 1 normally, and 2 on a retina display in OS X with high-dpi mode enabled.)
- Added love.system module, including clipboard functions.
- Added custom hardware cursors (love.mouse.newCursor, love.mouse.setCursor.)
- Revamped love.joystick:
-- added Joystick objects and moved love.joystick functions which operated on individual joysticks to methods on the Joystick objects.
-- Added love.joystick.getJoystick and love.joystick.getJoystickCount.
-- Added events for when joysticks are connected and disconnected.
-- Added 'Gamepad' methods to Joystick objects: Joystick:isGamepad, Joystick:getGamepadAxis, and Joystick:isGamepadDown. They're a common abstraction for xbox controller-like joystick across operating systems.
- Added monitor choosing support and "fullscreen desktop" mode to love.window.
- Moved unicode text input events to their own callback function (love.textinput), removed the key repeat functions from love.keyboard and made the second argument of love.keypressed a boolean saying whether the keypress was a repeat.
- liblove now works with love.window and love.graphics in OS X
