Function
Synopsis
love.update( dt )
Arguments
number dt- Time since the last update in seconds.

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 then
dtotal = dtotal - 1 -- reduce our timer by a second, but don't discard the change... what if our framerate is 2/3 of a second?
npc.think()
end
end
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 then
dtotal = dtotal - 1 -- reduce our timer by a second, but don't discard the change... what if our framerate is 2/3 of a second?
npc.think()
end
end
Change a variable var at a constant rate (+/- 3 per second in this example).
var = 10 -- arbitrary starting value
rate = 3 -- change to change the rate at which the var is changed
function love.update(dt)
if love.keyboard.isDown("down") then -- reduce the value
var = var - (dt * rate)
end
if love.keyboard.isDown("up") then -- increase the value
var = var + (dt * rate)
end
end
rate = 3 -- change to change the rate at which the var is changed
function love.update(dt)
if love.keyboard.isDown("down") then -- reduce the value
var = var - (dt * rate)
end
if love.keyboard.isDown("up") then -- increase the value
var = var + (dt * rate)
end
end
