+hump - LÖVE Helper Utilities for More Productivity

Introduction^ top

Helper Utilities for a Multitude of Problems is a set of lightweight helpers for the awesome LÖVE Engine.

hump differs from other libraries in that every component is independent of the remaining ones (apart from camera.lua, which does depends on vector-light.lua). hump's footprint is very small and thus should fit nicely into your projects.

hump.timer^ top

Timer = require "hump.timer"

hump.timer provides a simple interface to use delayed functions, i.e. functions that will be executed after some amount time has passed. For example, you can use a timer to set the player invincible for a short amount of time.

In addition, the module offers facilities to create functions that interpolate or oscillate over time. An interpolator could fade the color or a text message, whereas an oscillator could be used for the movement of foes in a shmup.

Module overview

new()
Create new timer instance.
add()
Schedule a function.
addPeriodic()
Add a periodic function.
cancel()
Cancel a scheduled function.
clear()
Remove all timed and periodic functions.
update()
Update scheduled functions.
Interpolator()
Create a new interpolating function.
Oscillator()
Create a new oscillating function.

function new()^ top

If you don't need multiple independent schedulers, you can use the global/default timer (see examples).

Creates a new timer instance that is independent of the global timer: It will manage it's own list of scheduled functions and does not in any way affect the the global timer. Likewise, the global timer does not affect the timer instance.

Note: Timer instances use the colon-notation (e.g. instance:update(dt)), while the global timer uses the dot-notation (e.g. Timer.update(dt)).

Parameters:
None
Returns:
Timer
A timer instance
Example:
menuTimer = Timer.new()

function add(delay, func)^ top

function instance:add(delay, func)^ top

Schedule a function. The function will be executed after delay seconds have elapsed, given that update(dt) is called every frame.

Note that there is no guarantee that the delay will not be exceeded, it is only guaranteed that the function will not be executed before the delay has passed.

It is an error to schedule a function again if it is not yet finished or canceled.

func will receive itself as only parameter. This is useful to implement periodic behavior (see the example).

Parameters:
number delay
Number of seconds the function will be delayed.
function func
The function to be delayed.
Returns:
function
The timer handle.
Example:
-- grant the player 5 seconds of immortality
 player.isInvincible = true
-Timer.add(5, function() player.isInvincible = false end)
-
-- print "foo" every second
-Timer.add(1, function(func) print("foo") Timer.add(1, func) end)
-
-
- - -
-
function addPeriodic(delay, func, count)^ top
-
function addPeriodic(delay, func)
-

Add a periodic timed function, i.e. a function that will be called count times every delay seconds.

-

Returning false will immediately stop the timer, regardless if it was called count times or not.

-

If count is omitted, the function loops until the function returns false or clear() is called.

-
Parameters: -
-
number delay
-
Time to pass before the function is called.
-
function func
-
The function to be called.
-
number count
-
The number of times the function is called.
-
-
-
Returns: -
-
Nothing
-
-
-
Example: -
Timer.addPeriodic(1, function() lamp:toggleLight() end)
-
Timer.addPeriodic(0.3, function() mothership:spawnFighter() end, 5)
-
-- flicker player's image as long as he is invincible
+Timer.add(5, function() player.isInvincible = false end)
-- print "foo" every second. See addPeriodic.
+Timer.add(1, function(func) print("foo") Timer.add(1, func) end)
menuTimer:add(1, finishAnimation)

function addPeriodic(delay, func, count)^ top

function instance:addPeriodic(delay, func, count)^ top

Add a function that will be called count times every delay seconds.

If count is omitted, the function will be called until it returns false or clear() is called.

Parameters:
number delay
Number of seconds between two consecutive function calls.
function func
The function to be called periodically.
number count (optional)
Number of times the function is to be called.
Returns:
function
The timer handle.
Example:
Timer.addPeriodic(1, function() lamp:toggleLight() end)
mothership_timer:addPeriodic(0.3, function() self:spawnFighter() end, 5)
-- flicker player's image as long as he is invincible
 Timer.addPeriodic(0.1, function()
     player:flipImage()
     return player.isInvincible
-end)
-
-
- - -
-
function clear()^ top
-

Clears all timers.

-
Parameters: -

Always use the function handle returned by add()/addPeriodic() to cancel a timer.

Never use this inside a scheduled function.

Parameters:
function func
The function to be canceled.
Returns:
Nothing
Example:
function tick()
+    print('tick... tock...')
+end
+handle = Timer.addPeriodic(1, tick)

function vector:cross(other)^ top
-

Get cross product of both vectors.

-

For the math geeks:

-

The cross product not be defined for 2D vectors. To nonetheless get a result, - treat the vectors as being 3D vectors (x,y,0). The cross product of both - vectors has just a z-component, and this is what this function returns. - It's also the determinant of both vectors: d = det(a,b).

-
Parameters: -
-
vector other
-
Vector to compute the cross product with.
-
-
-
Returns: -
-
number
-
The cross product of both vectors.
- -
-
-
Example: -
parallelogram_area = a:cross(b)

function new{name = the_name, constructor}
-
function new{name = the_name, inherits = super, constructor}
-
function new{name = the_name, inherits = {super1, super2, ...}, constructor}
-

Define a new class.

-

The constructor will receive the newly created object as first argument.

-

If no name is given, the module tries to guess the name. However, this will only - work if the class is assigned to a global variable.

-

You can check if an object is an instance of a class using object:is_a(class).

-

If you required the module to a variable, you can use the variable - as a shortcut to new().

-
Parameters: -
-
function constructor
-
Class constructor.
-
string the_name
-
Class name to be returned when calling tostring() on the class.
-
class super
-
Super class to inherit from. Can also be an array of classes to inherit from.

function class:inherit(...)^ top

Inherit functions and variables of another class, if they are not already defined for the class. This is done by simply copying the functions and variables over to the subclass. The Lua rules for copying apply (i.e. tables are referenced, functions and primitive types are copied by value).

Be careful with changing table values in a subclass: This will change the value in the parent class too.

If more than one parent class is specified, inherit from all of these, in order of occurrence. That means that when two parent classes define the same method, the one from the first class will be inherited.

Note: class:inherit() doesn't actually care if the arguments supplied are hump classes. Just any table will work.

Parameters:
tables ...
Parent classes to inherit from
Returns:
Nothing
Example:
Class = require 'hump.class'
 
-print(felix:stats())   -- "name: Felix, size: 0.80, weight 12.00"
-print(hobbes:stats())  -- "size: 2.20, weight 68.00"

hump.signal^ top

Signal = require "hump.signal"

A simple yet effective implementation of Signals and Slots, also known as Observer pattern: Functions can be dynamically bound to signals. When a signal is emitted, all registered functions will be invoked. Simple as that.

hump.signal makes things more interesing by allowing to emit all signals that match a Lua string + pattern.

Module overview

new()
Create new signal registry.
register()
Register function with a signal.
emit()
Call all functions bound to a signal.
remove()
Remove functions from registry.
clear()
Clears a signal registry.
emit_pattern()
Emits signals matching a pattern.
remove_pattern()
Remove functions from signals matching a pattern.
clear_pattern()
Clears signal registry matching a pattern.

function new()^ top

If you don't need multiple independent registries, you can use the global/default registry (see examples).

Creates a new signal registry that is independent of the default registry: It will manage it's own list of signals and does not in any way affect the the global registry. Likewise, the global registry does not affect the instance.

Note: Independent registries use the colon-notation (e.g. instance:emit("foo")), while the global registry uses the dot-notation (e.g. Signal.emit("foo")).

Parameters:
None
Returns:
Registry
A new signal registry.

hump.camera^ top

Camera = require "hump.camera"

Depends on hump.vector-light

A camera utility for LÖVE. A camera can "look" at a position. It can zoom in and out and it can rotate it's view. In the background, this is done by actually moving, scaling and rotating everything in the game world. But don't worry about that.

Module overview

new()
Create a new camera object.
camera:rotate()
Rotate camera object.
camera:move()
Move camera object.
camera:attach()
Attach camera object.
camera:detach()
Detach camera object.
camera:draw()
Attach, draw and detach.
camera:worldCoords()
Convert point to world coordinates.
camera:cameraCoords()
Convert point to camera coordinates.
camera:mousepos()
Get mouse position in world coordinates.

function new(x,y, zoom, rot)^ top

Creates a new camera object. You can access the camera position using camera.x, camera.y, the zoom using camera.zoom and the rotation using camera.rot.

The module variable name can be used at a shortcut to new().

Parameters:
numbers x,y
Point for the camera to look at.
number zoom
Camera zoom.
number rot
Camera rotation in radians.
Returns:
camera
A new camera object.
Example:
camera = require 'hump.camera'

hump.camera^ top
-
-
camera = require "hump.camera"
-

Depends on vector

-

Camera abstraction for LÖVE. A camera "looks" at a position and can be moved, - zoomed and rotated.

-

A camera defines it's own coordinate system, meaning that an object shown on - the screen likely has different coordinates in the game world than it has on the screen.

-

For example, the mouse position could be at pixel 400,400 on the screen - (= camera coordinates), but the camera looks at the point 100,100 and - is rotated by 90°. The world coordinates of the mouse cursor are 200,100.

-

The camera class defines methods to convert between both coordinate systems.

function camera:worldCoords(x, y)^ top

function camera:cameraCoords(x, y)^ top

Because a camera has a point it looks at, a rotation and a zoom factor, it defines a coordinate system. A point now has two sets of coordinates: One defines where the point is to be found in the game world, and the other describes the position on the computer screen. The first set of coordinates is called world coordinates, the second one camera coordinates. Sometimes it is needed to convert between the two coordinate systems, for example to get the position of a mouse click in the game world in a strategy game, or to see if an object is visible on the screen.

These two functions convert a point between these two coordinate systems.

Parameters:
numbers x, y
Point to transform.
Returns:
numbers
Transformed point.
Example:
x,y = camera:worldCoords(love.mouse.getPosition())
+selectedUnit:plotPath(x,y)
+
x,y = cam:cameraCoords(player.pos)
+love.graphics.line(x, y, love.mouse.getPosition())
+

function camera:mousepos()^ top

Shortcut to camera:worldCoords(love.mouse.getPosition()).

Parameters:
None
Returns:
numbers
Mouse position in world coordinates.
Example:
x,y = camera:mousepos()
+selectedUnit:plotPath(x,y)
+

hump.ringbuffer^ top

Ringbuffer = require "hump.ringbuffer"

A ring-buffer is a circular array: It does not have a first nor a last item, but it has a selected or current element.

A ring-buffer can be used to implement Tomb Raider style inventories, looping play-lists, recurring dialogs (like a unit's answers when selecting it multiple times in Warcraft) and generally everything that has a circular or looping structure.

hump.ringbuffer^ top
-
-
ringbuffer = require "hump.ringbuffer"
-

A ring-buffer is a circular array. That means it does not have a first nor a - last, but only a selected/current element.

-

You can use this to implement Tomb Raider style inventories, looping - playlists, recurring dialogs (like a unit's answers when selecting it multiple times in Warcraft) - and generally everything that has a circular or looping structure.

hump - LÖVE Helper Utilities for More Productivity

Introduction^ top

Helper Utilities for a Multitude of Problems is a set of lightweight helpers for the awesome LÖVE Engine.

hump differs from other libraries in that every component is independent of the remaining ones (apart from camera.lua, which does depends on vector-light.lua). hump's footprint is very small and thus should fit nicely into your projects.
