tylerneylon / rounded_rectangle.lua
Created March 25, 2013 08:57
This Lua function draws a rounded-corner rectangle when used in the Love game engine. Its parameters are consistent with the love.graphics conventions.
-- This is similar to love.graphics.rectangle, except that the rectangle has
-- rounded corners. r = radius of the corners, n ~ #points used in the polygon.
function rounded_rectangle(mode, x, y, w, h, r, n)
n = n or 20 -- Number of points in the polygon.
if n % 4 > 0 then n = n + 4 - (n % 4) end -- Include multiples of 90 degrees.
local pts, c, d, i = {}, {x + w / 2, y + h / 2}, {w / 2 - r, r - h / 2}, 0
while i < n do
local a = i * 2 * math.pi / n
local p = {r * math.cos(a), r * math.sin(a)}
for j = 1, 2 do

Learn Lua quickly with this short yet comprehensive and friendly script. It's written as both an introduction and a quick reference. It's also a valid Lua script so you can verify that the code does what it says, and learn more by modifying and running this script in your Lua interpreter.

*An interactive tool to perform elementary row operations on a matrix.*
I built this tool so I could speed up some hand calculations I was performing
while learning linear programming algorithms.
