love2d_gametemplate

This is a gametemplate for LÖVE engine using middleclass, stateful, love-loader, TESound and cron libraries.

The base of this template is copied from kikito.

Features

• The aim of this template is to separate ressource loading from scenes.
• You can easily develop with separate Image-Files and later merge them into an Texture-Atlas, without changing one line of code :-) !

Template description

• A ressource reference is submitted to a Loading State and the ressources are loaded via 'love-loader' library.
• Loading of ressources is visualised via 'love-loader' library.
• After all ressources are loaded, the Loading-State switches to the Menu-Sate.
• All ressources are accessed via the global variable 'media'.
• All ressources share the same naming ... so you can overwrite existing ones using the same name.
• You can add additional ressources during any state switch.
• 'TESound' library is enhanced to also play sounddata.
• Tweening library 'flux' is included.

Sample

definition of ressources using single image files:

local res = {}
res.images = {
	{'left-hand-climber-hi', 'media/images/left-hand-climber-hi.png' },
	{'left-hand-climber-hi2', 'media/images/left-hand-climber-hi2.png' },
	{'left-hand-climber-hi3', 'media/images/left-hand-climber-hi3.png' },

or using a Texture-Atlas:

local res = {}
res.images = {
	{'textureatlas', 'media/images/textureatlas.png',
		quads = {
				['left-hand-climber-hi'] = { 2, 2, 402, 598, 406, 961 },
				['left-hand-climber-hi2'] = { 2, 602, 240, 357, 406, 961 },
				['left-hand-climber-hi3'] = { 244, 602, 120, 179, 406, 961 },
		}
	},

same code using it:

media.quads['left-hand-climber-hi']:draw(0,0)
media.quads['left-hand-climber-hi3']:draw(love.mouse.getX(), love.mouse.getY())
