lvg - Lovable Vector Graphics (display SVGs in the Löve engine)

Disclaimer: This will never be a fully standards conformant svg renderer, because that includes THE ENTIRE HTML SPEC

Want to use simple SVGs with curves in your Löve game?

Try it with love ./ while in the project folder and you should see this:

Code example:

function love.load ()
	love.graphics.setBackgroundColor(1,1,1,1)
	svg_parser = require("lvg.svg_parser") --you only need one of these
	shapes_svg = svg_parser:load_svg("assets/test.svg")
	bananicorn_svg = svg_parser:load_svg("assets/bananicorn.svg")
	initial_window_height = 600
end

--we're just getting the scale factor here to also adjust the positions, so our SVGs don't overlap
function love.draw ()
	local new_scale_factor = love.graphics.getHeight() / initial_window_height
	shapes_svg:draw(0, 20 * new_scale_factor)
	bananicorn_svg:draw(150 * new_scale_factor, 20 * new_scale_factor)
end

function love.resize ()
	--only taking into account the height of the window, but do whatever you want
	local new_scale_factor = love.graphics.getHeight() / initial_window_height
	bananicorn_svg:resize(new_scale_factor)
	shapes_svg:resize(new_scale_factor)
end
