Eros is a löve framework to make game development easy.

Copy the eros directory to the root of your project and then add this to the first line of your main.lua file:

require 'eros'

This will add everything you need to start working with Eros.

All the naming conventions is straight out of GM:S. I didn't wanted to create a new standard since many people (like me) already memorized all the names and workflow. A GML to Lua translation tool can be made at some point for easy porting of pre-existing projects.

You can include sprites in your game by using the "create_sprite" function.

create_sprite(path, image_number, xoffset, yoffset)

Backgrounds are sprites with less properties and closely related with the rooms. To add a background:

background_test = create_sprite(path)

If you want to set a background on a room:

example_room = {
  background_image = background_test
}

Objects are based on SECL class system. To create one is as simple as:

-- Declaring an object
obj_test = create_object()
-- Now that the object is declared you can set a sprite or other properties to it.
obj_test.sprite_index = spr_vs
obj_test.image_speed = 0.1

TTF fonts can be imported as easy as:

create_font (fontname, size)

room_a = {
  background_color = {100, 100, 100},
  background_image = background_test,
  instances = {
    instance_create(120, 20, obj_test)
  }
}

The camera needs to be adapted for a easier use and document.

• Sounds and music
• Optimize newQuad on sprite create instead of draw event
• Tile sets
• Create executable from project

Anything else that is not included here can be complemented with the default functions and libraries made for löve.

🎶 All you need is löve ~

I'm using Atom editor to work on löve games with the following packages:

• Build
• language-lua
