Texture Packer and ShoeBox importer and animation helper library for LÖVE.
Atlas importer is designed to use the corona exporter from texture packer. It keeps all animations related to a player sprite handy.
Texture packer automatically combines unique frames but keeps references, and preserves offset data after automatic trimming.
Texmate requires a specific class library, middleclass, to be on the packages.path. Supporting for class commons is planned for a later release.
AtlasImporter = require("AtlasImporter")
TexMate = require("TexMate")
function love.load ()
--Load atlas you want to use
--myAtlas = AtlasImporter.loadAtlasShoeBox("ASSETS/sprites","ASSETS/sprites.png")
myAtlas = AtlasImporter.loadAtlasTexturePacker("ASSETS/spriteTP2","ASSETS/spriteTP.png")
-- use the exporter marked Corona TM SDK from texture packer.
-- If using shoebox, use the settings file provided
animlist = {}
animlist["Death"] = {
framerate = 14,
frames = {
"Death001",
"Death002",
"Death003",
}
}
animlist["Run"] = {
framerate = 14,
frames = {
"Run001",
"Run002",
"Run003",
}
}
--make the sprite , arguments: atlas, animlist, defaultanim, x, y, pivotx, pivoty, rotation
--Pivot x and y is an offset from the center of the image.
sprite = TexMate(myAtlas,animlist,"Death",nil,nil,0,-30)
sprite:changeAnim("Run")
end
function love.update(dt)
sprite:update(dt)
end
function love.draw()
sprite:draw()
end
