API Reference

objects

boxes

  boxes:new (canCollide,x,y,w,h,c)

(walls)

• canCollide : collidable or walk-through
• x,y : position
• w,h : width / height
• c : hitbox color {r,g,b,a} r,g,b,a in [0,1]

entities

  entities:new (x,y,w,h,c)

(walls)

• canCollide : collidable or walk-through
• x,y : position
• w,h : hitbox width / height
• c : hitbox color {r,g,b,a} r,g,b,a in [0,1]

forces

temporary impulse

  physics:applyImpulse(e,x,y,mag,res)

(jumping or knockback)

• e : the entity (player or npc)
• x,y : coordinates of the normalized vector
• mag : magnitude
• res : resistance, the rate of diminution

constant force

  physics:linear(e,x,y,mag)

(gravity or flying )

• e : the entity (player or npc)
• x,y : coordinates of the normalized vector
• mag : magnitude

Tweening

create

local tw = tween:new(obj, { x = fromX, y = fromY }, { x = toX, y = toY }, seconds)

pause

tw:pause()

resume

tw:resume()

destroy

tw:destroy()
