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.
LÖVE is an awesome framework you can use to make 2D games in Lua. It's free, open-source, and works on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
Documentation
We use our wiki for documentation. If you need further help, feel free to ask on our forums, and last but not least there's the irc channel #love on OFTC.
Compilation
###Windows Use the project files for Visual Studio 2010 located in the platform dir.
###*nix Run platform/unix/automagic, then run ./configure and make.
###OSX Use the XCode project in platform/macosx.
For both Windows and OSX there are dependencies available here.
Repository information
We use the 'default' branch for development, and therefore it should not be considered stable. Also used is the 'minor' branch, which is used for features in the next minor version and it is not our development target (which would be the next revision). (Version numbers formatted major.minor.revision.)
We tag all our releases (since we started using mercurial), and have binary downloads available for them.
Builds
Releases are found in the 'downloads' section on bitbucket, are linked on the site, and there's a ppa for ubuntu, ppa:bartbes/love-stable.
There are also unstable/nightly builds:
- For windows they are located here.
- For ubuntu linux they are in ppa:bartbes/love-unstable
- For arch linux there's love-hg in the AUR.
- For other linuxes and OSX there are currently no official builds.
