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())
