love.filesystem.load Loads a Lua file (but does not run it). Function Synopsis chunk, errormsg = love.filesystem.load( name ) Arguments string name The name (and path) of the file. Returns function chunk The loaded chunk. string errormsg (nil) The error message if file could not be opened.

love.keyboard.getKeyFromScancode Available since LÖVE 0.9.2 This function is not supported in earlier versions. Gets the key corresponding to the given hardware scancode. Unlike key constants, Scancodes are keyboard layout-independent. For example the scancode "w" will be generated if the key in the same place as the "w" key on an American keyboard is pressed, no matter what the key is labelled or what the user's operating system settings are. Scancodes are useful for creating default con

DistanceJoint:setDamping Removed in LÖVE 0.8.0 It has been replaced with DistanceJoint:setDampingRatio. Sets the damping ratio. Function Synopsis DistanceJoint:setDamping( ratio ) Arguments number ratio The damping ratio. Returns Nothing. See Also DistanceJoint

Function Synopsis system = love.graphics.newParticleSystem( image, buffer ) Arguments Image image The image to use. number buffer The max number of particles at the same time. Returns ParticleSystem system A new ParticleSystem. Funct

Body:getLinearDamping Gets the linear damping of the Body. The linear damping is the rate of decrease of the linear velocity over time. A moving body with no damping and no external forces will continue moving indefinitely, as is the case in space. A moving body with damping will gradually stop moving. Damping is not the same as friction - they can be modelled together. Function Synopsis damping = Body:getLinearDamping( ) Arguments None. Returns number damping The value of the linear damp

Joystick:isGamepadDown Available since LÖVE 0.9.0 This function is not supported in earlier versions. Checks if a virtual gamepad button on the Joystick is pressed.
