RPG!! = role-playing-game-&&&&&

**Scripts to drive the user interface and business logic of an enterprise level application –

This is important. The business logic and services that the scripts provide, asynchronously –

of or requiring a form of computer control timing protocol in which a specific operation begins upon receipt of an indication (signal) that the preceding operation has been completed.

“while building games, I try to think about all of the events (or states) that are occuring at one time, write a script for each one, and then program them to asynchronously queue, wait for while, and activate or start on a command or action (sequence). This is game programming at it’s essence.”

“To be able to allow for open world exploration, we minimize the amount of simultaneous programming, and stretch out the switches which activate the changes in the game, so that the player can use real life programming actions (for example, chopping a tree with your ax will actually chop down your tree) using “free-will” programming.”

“For a computer, it is often out of sight, out of sound. So if the action cannot be registered by that part or component of the computer, often in games, then it does not happen because the computer cannot see it.”

“This guy named Ray. He used to program himself as the computer and then play people. Thought he was pretty smart, until he programmed himself with a game that he did not know about a secret door too, and when the person went into this “backdoor entry”, presumably the one Ray used to kidnap the princess in Zelda 1, he got marked up, backed up, trapped up in the game!”

LOVE is a fantastic framework that leverages the Lua scripting language for developing 2D games;

it is open source, free to use, and licensed under zlib/libpng

You can learn more about Lua programming at http://www.lua.org.

In this chapter we will go through the following:

-all we need to get started with LOVE

-how to install LOVE

-How to run a LOVE game

-Choosing the editors

And a step further to understand the basic structure that makes a LOVE game.

Testing – Let’s Test Our Engines First

Running a LOVE game

First of all, we assume we do not have any LOVE game yet.

OK, then let’s just write a simple “Hello World!” program and run it with LOVE.

Open up a text editor and write the following Lua code:

–create a display

//this creates a box for display

function love.draw()

//this lets the lua script write, or draw to the screen. when computers draw, they are more compiling traditionally than drawing, but that has changed in recent years.

–display a text on a 800 by 600 screen in the positions x= 400, and

–y=300

love.graphics.print (‘hello world!’ , 400, 300)

This is what the code produces.

The computer, or a program in a computer, uses compiling to place features on a screen to create the backdrop for games and others. This is commonly seen in Swift.

LUA on a rocket after training with John Glenn.

Basic structure of LOVE

There are three basic functions that make up a LOVE game that are essential in most of the games you will be designing with LOVE.

“a small game”

love.load ():

This preloads (compile.load) all the necessary assets we need to make our game, so they are available when we start.

love.update (dt):

This is where we do most of our maths, where we deal with events; it is called before a frame is drawn.

“dt is the time it takes to draw a frame (in seconds). In other words, the next screen is prepared in this amount of time, and is loaded onto the screen after the update is complete, usually when a player makes it a certain distance in the game or reaches a mark.

love.draw (): This draws all that we want to display on the screen.

Examples

The basic structure of the game is done as you can see in the following code:

–load our assets

function love.load()

–load all assets here

end

“load the store with our goods, by pressing or saying “love.load()

–load all assets here (think about it)

–update event

function love.update (dt)

–do the maths

end

//double time (dt) makes the objects work twice as hard as they usually do – like giving a test to students.

//do the maths is all the function event is waking up for – to do the math, then it can go back to idle.

–draw display

function love.draw ()

–describe how you want/what to draw, and love will draw it for you.

//love loves to draw

end

“love is an online compiler program, so it draws and performs ai intelligence features just by you requesting it.

That’s just it…well maybe.

So let’s play with these chunks one more time.

Now, let’s edit main.lua to enable loading sample assets that we want to use within the game.

//here is what i need you to load love

//to luna to calm down – i need you to load one of my local fonts, from the Tom & Jerry machines. it is called love.graphics.newFont(45), or newFont(45) in your search function.

“yes I been telling you that . means strings, so it is the same as the search query, just written out. gosh.”

Now I need you to load the file so it sets that as my font.

Please use the setFont for this one. I know you have styles.

leave room for margin of error please – 0,0,0,225 should be sufficient

Tell cassandra I said hello, and I need a 255, 153, 0). Note the function key can represent a button, and the end is used to signal that someone is off the line after performing the function. That means Lua called upon, or called to have this feature.

Please update the system and reload the screen if it does not do that automatically.

That is all I need. Thank you love.

“Cassandra is like the Black Pepper Potts now!”

-Joe Character

function love.draw ()

love.graphics.print (‘Hello World!;, 200, 200)

“My Lua has evolved in the pet game to a level where she can draw if i just say, or type,

function love.draw

This is what she drew me. I don’t know where she gets this stuff from.

Someone please investigate this.

Sorry, back to the code.

This means your function for now is to draw. so, i’m thinking, do this for me –

print your framework, your general graphics, icon etc. on a blank sheet, but with hello world on it, to start me on my journey –

200, 200 location is fine. I’ll fix it later once I get centered.

“word on the streets is construct just got out. construk 2 aint be happy”

“she pushed his whole wig back forever – WT&?”

“does luna look confused to you? tell her it’s okay to say “yes”

configuring for lua today is luna, who is her architect.

Before you go on and start coding your game, you need to give your video game some specs such as window width, window height, and window title. So set up a new file named conf.lua –

“that means configure, or set up a file with those specifications, as will be available in the option bar menus, like android canvas.”

-Lollipop Luna

inside it you can then create your game specs as shown in the following code snippet:

function love.conf

//confer with love (the system) the width you need (what you are looking for in computer language)

“in computer language, width is equivalent to “what” because it has the art and architecture in it’s database – the width is what it needs to select from the solutions explorer what items may be readily available to display it in the size.”

T-Sql works with children for Google Kids Search, so we incorporated this into Lua. But instead of the traditional squirrel, we went with a different animal look.

This is T-Squirrel. He is the messenger between the main screen user end, and the online digital database for Lua Love System.

What Keeps Love (LUNA) Up At Night?

She is a compiling animal.

From dawn to dusk, she works with Lua to dig out information, organize and sort pictures, and communicate with the wild servers to be ready to present to you the next day when you load her.

Luna and Lua Love searching for new files to present

Taking pictures just in case the database does not have what you are looking for.

This is where T-Sql comes in. He makes sure that there is always a signal (sql) on the case.

What do all those specification numbers mean?

It means that is where the object, or textblock with text, feature will be loading on the screen after you ask lua.

we are working on interactive screen features (draw over) to allow the user to set these parameters themselves, so the process is not so blind. ASR.

-Swift OUI –

This is what they had to go through to get to Goofy’s Adventure. Now we’re ready.

Good morning Love. Can you confer with me, that the screen is 1024 x 768, and the title “Goofy’s Adventure” is written at the top?

“anything else sir?”

“Oh, sh**, WT&, you can talk?”

-Dave Chappelle

end

Lua has been working with IBM to learn how to compile structures using dashcode diagramming tools for wireframing and segmenting.

Udon. What in the world are you compiling now?

-Python Coach

What Luna does it with and for.

Let’s continue.

You can manipulate the figures and titles any way and also change that w to whatever variable you want.

The preceding code does the following.

–loads our font on a newMesh

–loads our font color (like CSS)

–sets background color (like Silverlight and Express Studio)

–draws text on the screen (code generator for text)

–configures the screen size (per your request)

“my love talks to me about these things, so we have favorite sheets that are saved so she can surprise me. -Kevin Brockmeier

Basically we are using the love.graphics module;

https://love2d.org/wiki/love.graphics

We kept it simple. There are more.

Do you want a user interface for this love? It would take cloudBees out of your account, but we can do it?

“Yes.”

You’ll be working with M.O.Bee for this. Is that cool?

“yes”

QUIZ – What button on the Android Phone allows you to call and hangup with google ai?

IDK

Okay, let’s keep going.

love.graphics is enhancing it’s content by building an online repository, or cloud to add more features. You may seem some Godot on this.

-Cracker Barrel

love.graphics can be used to draw (in the real sense) texts, images, and any drawable object in the scene.

“are there blueprints? I need blueprints before I start”

on “Here’s the Skinny”-

This is all I can give you right now to work with…

-Reginald Tah

in the previous code snippets, we defined our fonts with the love.graphics.newFont (45) –

“this provides an architecture for gif structures and for lines to animate the color”

that formats our text by declaring the size of the font as 45.setFont ()

“this allows the animation to stay within a range”

by loading, the font gains momentum, force, and directionality which can then allow the “predictable format” of the image to display itself as movement, an animation, other.

-Bmp. P

then it loads the font we defined as myfont, setColor ()

this is straightening out the image back to its predefined lines, or characteristics, which restarts.

“essentially, this is like letting the picture play around for a little bit before freezing it. Sort of like water before it is contained. Then the image restructures itself. Simple.”

setColor () colors the text in the RGB format (blending or pasting pixels)

setBackgroundColor( ) sets the background, thus freezing the screen.

“this is why characteristically phones, and windows computers use blue screens as their “final background – because it symbolizes freezing.”

#bluescreenofdeath

Before we continue, I want to reinforce the point from yesterday –

This, is usually backed by this.

Hello World was an original invention by Job Galactica, of McDonald’s fame.

If you consider a website for a moment, on a front screen such as this one, let’s say a McDonald’s logo underneath, what happens in the building LOT, including the customers, the services, the indoors, the gas station adjacent to it, etc. are representations of the activity that takes place in a web site.

(crushes yellow hyperbolic ink in between his fingers)

“With this printer ink, this digital currency. I could rebuild the world. At least potentially – ahahahaha!”

-Samson (BB), jamaica fame

Then we printed text using the love.graphics.print (‘text’, x, y)

function in the draw function with three parameters parsed in it:

“If you want a random generator from google for you one pic jackpot, then change the parameters, or write what you are looking for – for example,

If you were looking of a new world on your search-o-matic machine for destruction, then you simply type –

Hello World.

But, how do we defend against this.

Some people opted not to be able to draw on the screen (selfish, oui know), but that means after the flip (speak it!), they cannot draw on screen. Which means Luna, or other, maybe T-Sql, will for always and forever be supervising them from an invisible glass.

Udon Love getting started with his work.

After I straighten him out. Ha!

-Mr. Cheebs

Then we printed text using the love.graphics.print (‘text’, x, y) function –

Chuck Rhoades Idea

We added an option where you could select your program (#chucky) through an <form> box and a <fieldset>, but we are waiting to here back <input> from Luna loveMom.dir

sry…

those are draw functions initially, but we’ve grown since then, love. The three parameters are text (that you want included, x, and y coordinates.

“with silverlight, we teach kids how to use the coordinate plane, made famous by Rene Descartes, to place three features on the board at Xs marking specific locations, or coordinates.

And to shorten the amount of pieces needed on the board, they started creating graphics within the three containers that could be placed on the board instead.

As the father of BMO once said, being a system requires that you analyze things from both sides. So the system started scanning and using forms of photogrammetry to envision the creators mind, or the design that it would like.

And there you have it,

A Word From Tile-Maker and Tile-Editor, on customizing your interface.

We are not going to do anything in the love.update() function yet, because we are not dealing with scene events.

So let’s load our game as a .love file and see what it displays.

Cut out the silverlight while youre there.

Love Systems when they are not occupied –

“this is a basic javascript movement, or motion, that we used in forager originally to just shake up the plain.”

Now we can grab a mug of cappuccino with Ray-Bans on and smile; we have installed the LOVE game engine, text editor and Visual tile-level editor (Tiled).

We have also got a quick look at the basic structure for writing our game in Lua and displayed “Hello World” in a colored background window.

Next we’ll go through how to drop 2D objects, move objects, and animate character sprites.

Up Next

Tile Maker and Tile Editor are here to discuss the power of color, and what it can do for your computer.

Now, lets have fun with LOVE. We’ll do the following in this chapters:

–draw objects

–move them around

–animate characters

–discuss sprites

LOVE’s love.graphics module already has in-built functions for drawing specific shapes such as a circle, arc, and rectangle.

circle

arc

rectangle

so let’s draw all these shapes in a single game.

Ignore this now. I just wanted you to previsualize it for a second. Picture, if you will –

(calm meditating music)

-a merri-go-round spinning, but it’s just the circle there. can you see it?

“I’m finin’ to enhance your brain. good one!”

can you see charlie brown?

Can you see the pig? look from left to right (honk)

Now, let you mind run free. stare at the image.

Isn’t he handsome?

But boy was he rough in his days…

Jacksonville Stylz!!

So let’s draw all these shapes in a single game.

create a new game folder, rename it as shapes, and
open a new main.lua file in this directory

push the function button or perform love.load ()

—loads all we need in the game

These are the states of color warmth on a computer. RGB is set for creative mode in lua, so color can be distributed, or unfreezed

-Hashtag Adobe F.

Until RGB is set, the computer will stay frozen.

This is an example of when a computer tries to load without color. It won’t work.

This serves as a filter of protection for ai from ai, at the top of the screen (ribbonX crew) so the shock is along the ribbon of the head as well

let loose upon your functioning

and draw me the following (—)

–with lua, the yellow background for the stage light feature, projects black digital ink objects on the yellow screen, to add emotions.

“And what do you see, lil’ girl?”

“If you look closely, it looks like all of the composite transformative shapes we need to make every emoji – apple a year.”

-oui fairies,

“I took the cat out the bag, and showed up to the jun with an emoji pack. Like happy birthday &&&&&&!”

In our game we would want objects to move, rotate, or just change position.

“We can perform any type of translation on the shape or the object so far with this build. (6.1.1.1)

That’s the essence of a 2D game.

So we are going to move an object across the screen and also are going to rotate it.

We will create a 10 x 10 square and specify the rotation angle as 0 using the love.graphics.rotate () function.

“Love, is it possible for you to use your arms to rotate the objects based on this diagram here?”

Yes. WASD, or WSAD, depending on which side of great britain you are from. I got that one off google, from the queen. I’m a google celebrity. I am google! WT&!

The joystick WASD

So here’s the skinny.

In a town not far from here, there was a castle, and in the castle was dark mood. The cow was not far from there in the pasture, chewing grass, real scary type dude.

And in the castle, there was a butler, and he devised, using tesla technology #next-level, a keyboard device that reminded him he was batman and needed to get out and escape why?

The butler, the one who “Chuck Rhoades” his job.

Turns out it rose out of slavery.

W – what did I say

A – ay

S – sit down

d – down

In other words, it was a command to a system, a computer, for them to sit down and do what they say, or else.

And Star Wars came right after.

“How we supposed to survive the tirade wars too? Hnh? You tell me!”

-Chuck Rhoades, Scholarship Student

Rotating objects

We will create a 10 x 10 square and specify the rotation angle as 0.

Look closely, this is the sticker, or the charge for the white ink – white ink is 0 balanced because of the black and white weight of the digital ink. it goes that far back.

“He needs to make amends!”

with the wasd keys, yu can rotate the image yourself, per your request, or you can request me do it.

“Would you like me to update my programming before you sign off? I can add wasd as reminders, or things I can do, so that you’ll remember these buttons while learning. Would you like me to do that sir?

Opening Routine –

Guess what this means in Lua. Should we add it?

Alright everybody. Configure your love system and call up lua.

your function, or button, is love.conf(w)

–but you can use your login information.

make your screen width 1024

your height 768

and let’s have a little fun here. Let me see here.

Your screen should look like this with “Goofy’s Adventure” on it. We have a contract, or a bond, with Super Nintendo to use with Lua interface. As of now, she looking at the Game Boy look to start with because it is small enough to be a robot, like B-Mo, but also big enough to play games on. She is in negotiations with One Laptop Per Child to create a Lua Emulator, as seen after this – check it out –

Your moms might look like this –

Ha, for the adult class – that’s what they are making on theirs. #communication-joke

Our first attempt at emulating.

And early look at the emulator.

One of our developers ideas.

Our Lua Scriptor, this is the first person scripter that you are looking at. Yes, we made Mario Run and Chiki’s with this. Good question. Yes?

Yes, you are correct. We write each step in the script pad in Lua Console, and run all of the potential options for movements in any order just to see all possible outcomes for the game.

We only did this once, but then Lua became famous for going over routes in multiple ways. She brought Luna, Udon, and Adon, and other family, to aid us in this.

Enter Positive Will E.

“Yes, we started developing emulators with Mr. Cheebs on the bottom 14th floor. Ya dig.”

Everybody wanted the Lua Scriptor. was it possible (to get everybody a version and make money off of it.

“25 cents. That’s all I charge.”

Then the Universe came in and said they’d guarantee all it comes with for being such a pious bunch.

“More more, Cassandra Michelle yelled.”

Magic has been working hard on this. he does not want anyone to know that he was involved. Can you keep it a secret?

These were all the offers coming in.

Sorry.

Make sure you push

to get started and close the back end, which is now facing you.

We use a standard object model protractor from the microsoft word encyclopedia.

As shown below –

So whatever is defined in here, there is an operation to do. I hope this helps.

“What a graphic display!”

-Dave Chappelle

Within this book are a series of functions that patch with code when displayed or loaded. Due to this nature, some objects are already marked for a destiny in certain places on the emulator. So we use these as backgrounds, and because of the grid included with Lua, you can ask her to place them in a certain coordinate.

you can slide (translate), rotate,

depending on your orientation, but Lua started as 3D Maya, so even if she can’t display it she knows what you are looking for because she’s been there. The orbital.

So she can generally just query what you are looking for if you use basic descriptors.

Sorry for fabricating a little….

And what does this do for us Cats?

(Carlisle Cat Class)

Good. And now you can mess with love.graphics.

This is my screen right now. Let’s continue.

Load your project from yesterday.

We will create a 10 x 10 square and specify the rotation angle as O (not to be confused with 0)

love.graphics.rotate() function allows us to type a number between -360 and 360 degrees.

with the robot model, it will allow you to have a function, hopefully a turning knob, where this function allows you to use energy to drive the button knob or wheel. you can use the emulator to connect the signal to the robot and it will cause the knob/wheel/or other to adjust – next up, sensor pads for G-Lua (not to be confused with B-Lua)

Your system will do all of this for you, but in Uncle Riki Shibi’s Shop Class, you can learn how all of these buttons work.

You saw this yesterday.

a variable is a name or an identifier for a place in the computers memory where dynamic content is stored.

dynamic content tells them what to do, do while, and options

they are stored in the computers memory, so this leaves options for the script (scripted identifier – like a barcode, but with one line written from left to right.)

variables (the actual letters on the hypertext background) hold the energy or a portion of it for the identifier. It generates energy or circulates it to keep from storing it, by typing repeat sentences about brown foxes and such and lazy dogs who keep showing up somewhere.
