Love2d Forums thread

BASIC USAGE:

• Require the module,

WINDOWS = require("path-to-lovely-windows")

You can use any variable name if you don't like "WINDOWS"...Try using "MAC" pun

• Make Tables! Key is the keyboard input, value is the width size

WINDOWS = require("path-to-lovely-windows")

local table = {
	f1 = {1024,720},
	f2 = {720,600}
}
--so if the user press f1, the new window size will be 1024x720

• Initialize

function love.load()
	WINDOW.initialize(320,200) -- your custom game size (note: it is not the same as the window size)
	
	--then add the table to the module
	WINDOW.addInputTable(table) --parameters are the table we created earlier
end

• Recognizing Inputs

function keypressed(key)
	WINDOW.keyInput(key)
end

--or if you want keyreleased, just put WINDOW.keyInput(key) in there.

WINDOW.getRatio() - returns the calculated ratio, useful for using love.graphics.scale()

WINDOW.listInput() - prints all the width and height sizes you've added. Useful with the LOVEDEBUG library

TO-DO

• Add fullscreen switch
• Add joystick/gamepad input
