CBE 3.2

CBE version 3.2 is finally here!

After quite some time, CBE has finally gotten a major update. CBE 3.2 cleans everything up, modernizes everything, and better-izes everything.

In order to stay current, however, CBE 3.2 brings a few non-backwards-compatible changes to prior versions of CBE. This means that, in order to use 3.2, you'll need to make some changes in your game.

  • The module name has been changed from CBE.Library to CBE.CBE. This means that you actually don't have to even adopt 3.2 until you're ready. I recommend, however, that you do to make things easier in the future.
  • All deprecated parameters will cease to function as aliases
  • The alias library functions have all been removed; instead of CBE.NewVentGroup or CBE.VentGroup, for example, use CBE.newVentGroup
  • Graphics v1 compatibility has been be dropped
  • The parentGroup parameter and vent.content has been deprecated (still functional, but their use is discouraged); the vent has become a display group instead for better "Corona-izing" of the library
  • The x and y parameters has been renamed to emitX and emitY, and contentX/contentY to x and y - this is because the vent is now a display group and x and y are sensitive Corona properties
  • All object functions require a colon instead of a dot for calling (ventGroup:start(...) rather than ventGroup.start(...)) in keeping with Lua OOP practices
  • particle._kill() has been renamed to particle:destroyParticle()

I've also unofficially moved from calling the engine "CBEffects" to mostly calling it "CBE". This is just really a personal preference of mine. The engine's "real" name is still technically CBEffects, but CBE somehow sounds more professional :).
