Question 1

How do I handle mobile screen orientation changes with Push?

Accepted Answer

Push doesn't have built-in mobile support, but you can listen to `love.resize` events and call `push:resize` to adjust. Initialize in fullscreen mode using `love.window.getDesktopDimensions()` for basic adaptation.

Question 2

Can I apply multiple shaders to different parts of my game with Push?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Push supports multiple shaders. Use `push:setShader({shader1, shader2})` for global effects or `push:setupCanvas` with named canvases and shader tables to apply shaders to specific layers.

Question 3

How does Push compare to LÖVE's built-in scaling functions?

Accepted Answer

Push abstracts away manual scaling and aspect ratio maintenance, offering a higher-level API with features like pixel-perfect mode and canvas management. LÖVE's built-in functions require more code for similar results.

Question 4

What's the best way to convert mouse coordinates when using Push?

Accepted Answer

Use `push:toGame(x, y)` to convert screen coordinates to your fixed game resolution. This ensures accurate input handling, but check for nil returns when coordinates are outside the game area.

Question 5

Does Push support high-DPI displays like Retina screens?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Push includes a `highdpi` option in `push:setupScreen` to enable support for high-DPI modes, ensuring crisp graphics on compatible screens without extra configuration.

Question 6

How to set up custom canvases for layered rendering with Push?

Accepted Answer

Use `push:setupCanvas` with a list of canvas definitions, each with a name and optional shader. Then, switch between canvases during drawing using `push:setCanvas(canvasName)` for organized rendering.
