Managing Aspect Ratio

• This is already auto managed. Make reference to BaseState.lua and main.lua

Automatic Graphics Off-setting with Aspect Ratio

function love.draw()
    -- Offset measurement
    local xDiff = 0
    local yDiff = 0

    -- Center window graphics
    if windowWidth > (minWidth * aspect_ratio.scale) then
        xDiff = windowWidth - (minWidth * aspect_ratio.scale)
    end

    if windowHeight > (minHeight * aspect_ratio.scale) then
        yDiff = windowHeight - (minHeight * aspect_ratio.scale)
    end

    love.graphics.translate(xDiff / 2, yDiff / 2)

    -- Implement scale
    love.graphics.scale(aspect_ratio.scale, aspect_ratio.scale)
end
