Body:applyImpulse Removed in LÖVE 0.8.0 It has been renamed to Body:applyLinearImpulse. Applies an impulse to a body. This makes a single, instantaneous addition to the body momentum. An impulse pushes a body in a direction. A body with with a larger mass will react less. The reaction does not depend on the timestep, and is equivalent to applying a force continuously for 1 second. Impulses are best used to give a single push to a body. For a continuous push to a body it is better to use Bo

This can be used to determine whether a file is inside the save directory or the game's source .love. Function Synopsis realdir = love.filesystem.getRealDirectory( filepath ) Arguments string filepath The filepath to get the directory of. Returns string realdir The platform-specific full path of

enet.peer:state Returns the state of the peer as a string. Function Synopsis peer:state() Arguments None. Returns string state The peer's current state. It can be any of the following: "disconnected" "connecting" "acknowledging_connect" "connection_pending" "connection_succeeded" "connected" "disconnect_later" "disconnecting" "acknowledging_disconnect" "zombie" "unknown" See Also lua-enet enet.peer

Mesh:getVertices Available since LÖVE 0.9.0 and removed in LÖVE 0.10.0 Use Mesh:getVertex in a loop instead. Gets all the vertices in the Mesh. This method can be slow if the Mesh has a large number of vertices. Keep the original table used to create the Mesh around and update it when necessary instead of using this method frequently, if possible. Function Synopsis vertices = Mesh:getVertices( ) Arguments None. Returns table vertices The table filled with vertex information tables for e

love.update Callback function used to update the state of the game every frame. Function Synopsis love.update( dt ) Arguments number dt Time since the last update in seconds. Returns Nothing. Examples Run a function called think inside a table called npc once per second. dtotal = 0 -- this keeps track of how much time has passed function love.update(dt) dtotal = dtotal + dt -- we add the time passed since the last update, probably a very small number like 0.01 if dtotal >= 1

World:getContactCount Available since LÖVE 0.8.0 This method is not supported in earlier versions. Returns the number of contacts in the world. Function Synopsis n = World:getContactCount( ) Arguments None. Returns number n The number of contacts in the world. See Also World

love.thread.getChannel Available since LÖVE 0.9.0 This function is not supported in earlier versions. Creates or retrieves a named thread channel. Function Synopsis channel = love.thread.getChannel( name ) Arguments string name The name of the channel you want to create or retrieve. Returns Channel channel The Channel object associated with the name. See Also love.thread Channel
