Canvases and Images are now subclasses of the new Texture class.
Added setTexture and getTexture methods for Meshes, ParticleSystems, and SpriteBatches (the old set/getImage methods are deprecated but not removed.)
Canvas texture coordinates are no longer flipped.
- 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
Added:
love.graphics.setLineJoin(linejoin)
linejoin = love.graphics.getLineJoin()
where linjoin is one of:
- none
- miter
- bevel
Bevel and miter drawing is slightly faster than the 0.8 default (miter), while
the `none` join mode will be slower when overdraw is enabled.
This allows for more diverse and complex Geometries, provided the lover understands how to use each mode. See http://escience.anu.edu.au/lecture/cg/surfaceModeling/image/surfaceModeling015.png
Changed love.graphics.newGeometry to optionally accept vertices as individual arguments instead of just a table of vertices (resolves issue #651).
Changed Geometry:setVertex to optionally accept a table containing x,y,u,v,r,g,b,a instead of just individual arguments.
Added Geometry:set/getDrawMode.
Removed the convex-check in love.graphics.newGeometry (all geometry modes have at least some form of concavity support, lovers can do their own check if needed with love.math.isConvex.)
Added an optional "vertex map" table argument to love.graphics.newGeometry (AKA a vertex index array / element array in graphics programming lingo.)
This allows lovers to change the order in which the vertices are used when drawing, or re-use a single vertex multiple times for different parts of the Geometry.
This is especially useful in the "triangles" Geometry draw mode. The vertex map lets you draw very complex (and concave) shapes / meshes without duplicating vertex data.
Added Geometry:set/getVertexMap.
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()
- added a new CompressedData type to love.image
- added love.image.isCompressed(file or data)
- love.graphics.newImage automatically tests for compression when loading a file
- added love.graphics.isSupported strings for DXT, BC5, and BC7
Compressed textures meant to be used on the GPU offer huge performance gains when
- loading the texture from a file
- loading the texture from RAM to VRAM
- loading mipmaps
- rendering
