Tool：Making Tiles with Chaos

I've made a new tool!


Using the POWER OF CHAOS (rolling a random number between 1-4, then applying the rules set) it will generate a 16x16 tile and show it in the background.


You can then save the preview out at the bottom of the page as an image.


It's held together by string, so don't expect the sliders to work fully.


You can play with the tool here: 16x16 Pixel Chaos Generator.

Love, Transparency and OBS

First of all, thank you @xkeeper for this, who found this worked even after being told "It can't be done". The code is below:

function love.draw()
-- This is all you need to do in your Love2D Code, set the background to transparent.
-- Note, this will still appear as black in the Love2D Game Window.
love.graphics.setBackgroundColor(0,0,0,0)
-- Draw things after here!
end

Setting up the OBS Capture

  1. Game Capture
  2. Mode: Capture Window
  3. Allow Transparency: True/Checked

That's It?

That's it. As long as you don't change the background, anything drawn in the love2D window will be drawn as if on top of a transparent background. Great for fun effects without having to use a chroma key.
