simpleScale

A simple library for scaling games made in LÖVE to any window size and aspect ratio.

Scales the game while maintaining its aspect ratio, adding vertical or horizontal letterboxes if necessary. Inspired by TLfres and used in SuperLuminauts.

TO USE:

1. Import simpleScale

2. In love.load call simpleScale.setWindow(gameWidth, gameHeight, windowWidth, windowHeight, flags)

   gameWidth - width of the game

   gameHeight - height of the game

   windowWidth - width of the final window

   windowHeight - height of the final window

   flags - a table of optional flags corresponding to those used in love.window.setmode https://love2d.org/wiki/love.window.setMode

3. At the start of love.draw call simpleScale.set()

4. At the end of love.draw call simpleScale.unSet()

Additional Features:

• To update the window again, just call simpleScale.updateWindow(windowWidth, windowHeight, flags)

• To change the color of the letterboxes, simply call simpleScale.unSet({r, g, b}). Alpha values are optionally accepted as well.

• If your window needs to be resizable by dragging, just call simpleScale.resizeUpdate() in love.update
