<h2>Introduction<a class="top" href="#top">^ top</a></h2>
<p><em>Helper Utilities for a Multitude of Problems</em> is a set of lightweight helpers
for the excellent <a href="http://love2d.org/">L&Ouml;VE</a> Engine.</p>
<p>It currently features
<ul>
<li><em>vector.lua</em>: a mature vector type,</li>
<li><em>class.lua</em>: a simple and easy class system with function inheritance,</li>
<li><em>camera.lua</em>: a translate-, zoom- and rotatable camera and</li>
<li><em>gamestate.lua</em>: a gamestate system.</li>
</ul></p>
<p><em>hump</em> differs from other libraries in that every component is independent of the
remaining ones (apart from camera.lua, which depends on the vector type).
<em>hump</em>'s footprint is very small and thus should fit nicely into your projects.</p>

<ul>
<li><code>+</code> and <code>-</code> <em>only</em> work on vectors. <code>-</code> is also
the unary minus (e.g. <code>print(-vector(1,2)) -- prints (-1,-2)</code>)</li>

<li>If <code>a</code> is a number and <code>b</code> is a vector (or vice versa),
the result the scalar multiplication.</li>
<li>If <code>a</code> and <code>b</code> both are vectors, then the result is the
<em>dot product</em>.</li></ul></li>
<li><code>a / b</code> is only defined for <code>a</code> being a vector and <code>b</code>
being a number. Same as <code>a * 1/b</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p><code>&lt;=</code> and <code>&lt;</code> sort lexically, i.e. <code>a &lt; b</code>

<h3>class.lua<a class="top" href="#doc">^ top</a></h3>
<p>class.lua provides a simple and easy to use class system. Albeit it's
limitations, class.lua offers multiple inheritance and minimal
reflection capabilities. Note that only methods will be inherited
and runtime changes of a superclass won't affect subclasses.</p>
<p>The module only consists of three functions:
<table class="functionlist">
<tr><td><a href="#class.lua-Class">Class(constructor)</a></td><td>define class</td></tr>
<tr><td><a href="#class.lua-Class2">Class{name = name, constructor}</a></td><td>define named class</td></tr>

<tr><td><a href="#class.lua-Inherit">Inherit(class, super, ...)</a></td><td>subclassing</td></tr>
</table></p>
<p>For an example, <a href="#class.lua-Example">see below</a>. Also be sure to read the
<a href="#class.lua-Warning">warning</a> regarding metamethods.</p>
<a name="class.lua-Class"></a>
<div class="doc"><span class="function">function Class(constructor)<a class="top" href="#class.lua">^ top</a></span>

<div class="doc"><span class="function">Nothing is perfect<a class="top" href="#class.lua">^ top</a></span>
<p>Be careful when using metamethods like <code>__add</code> or <code>__mul</code>:
When subclass inherits those methods from a superclass, but does not overwrite
them, the result of the operation may be of the type superclass. Consider the following:</p>
2010-08-12 15:43:47 +00:00
<pre>A = Class(function(self, x) self.x = x end)
function A:__add(other) return A(self.x + other.x) end
function A:print() print("A:", self.x) end
B = Class(function(self, x, y) A.construct(self, x) self.y = y end)
Inherit(B, A)
function B:print() print("B:", self.x, self.y) end
function B:foo() print("foo") end
one, two = B(1,2), B(3,4)
result = one + two
result:print() -- prints "A: 4"
result:foo() -- error: method does not exist</pre>

<h3>gamestate.lua<a class="top" href="#doc">^ top</a></h3>
2010-08-13 12:29:25 +00:00
<p>Useful to separate different states of your game (hence "gamestate") like title screens,
level loading, main game, etc. Each gamestate can have it's own <code>update()</code>, <code>draw()</code>,
<code>keyreleased()</code>, <code>keypressed()</code> and <code>mousereleased()</code> which correspond
to the ones defined in love. See the <a href="#gamestate.lua-callbackList">callback list</a> for more details.</p>
<p>Additionally, each gamestate can define a <code>enter(pre, ...)</code> and <code>leave()</code> function,
which are called when using <code>Gamestate.switch(to, ...)</code>. <em>Do not attempt to use these functions
yourself to initialize the first gamestate,</em> use the <code>switch</code> function instead.</p>
<p>The module defines the following functions:
<table class="functionlist">

<tr><td><a href="#gamestate.lua-switch">Gamestate.switch(to, ...)</a></td><td>Switch gamestate</td></tr>
