lovr.event

Edit

The lovr.event module handles events from the operating system.

Due to its low-level nature, it's rare to use lovr.event in simple projects.

Functions

lovr.event.clear	Clear the event queue.
lovr.event.poll	Iterate over unprocessed events in the queue.
lovr.event.push	Manually push an event onto the queue.
lovr.event.quit	Quit the application.
lovr.event.restart	Restart the application.

Notes

You can define your own custom events by adding a function to the lovr.handlers table with a key of the name of the event you want to add. Then, push the event using lovr.event.push.

Example

Adding a custom event.

function lovr.load()
  lovr.handlers['customevent'] = function(a, b, c)
    print('custom event handled with args:', a, b, c)
  end

  lovr.event.push('customevent', 1, 2, 3)
end
