... C++, Python, Lua, as well as the games engines Löve2D and Unity. Not much interest for Unity here given it's closed source. I've thought of trying Love2D but haven't had the chance. Have you released any open source games? Anything you are interested in developing?

... create (for example) Guitar Hero like project you don't need to write it from scratch, because some engines for that already exists. I use lua + love2d framework to tools - like generate cards based on variables and sprites. For now we will be doing our own graphics - we will see what will be ...

've finished the last 2 parts of the tutorial: credits screen and packaging . http://i.imgur.com/kRt7M5J.png?1 All in all I don't like how the Chapter 3 has turned out. My initial idea has been to discuss typical problems arising in game programming on real-life examples. However, most of the code i...

Several updates in the wiki: Side Panel, Score, Fonts, More Sounds

Two more updates: simple main menu and wall tiles.

Several parts on the wiki have been updated: Add New Ball Bonus , Life and Next Level Bonuses, and Random bonus generation.
The first appendix - Storing Levels as Strings - has been added.

Well, in this case I mean variables that are visible globally and on the file scope. I know Lua is not meant for a serious work, I just try to avoid global variables. You can think of `main.lua` as being equivalent to `main` function in other languages. That way, variables with file scope in the `m...

So it uses global variables everywhere? I'm not sure what do you mean by that. For each game object, a separate table is created to hold it's properties. In the first chapter the whole code is contained in a single file and the tables representing objects are effectively in the global scope. In the...

... only those objects, that are necessary for it's working, so the code structure becomes more standard. Are there any multiplayer games made with love2d? Yes, Boss Bashing Button Brawlers for example. A networking tutorial can be found on the Love wiki. Btw, there are more games on itch, that ...

Hey! I have been writing a simple Arkanoid-type game with LÖVE framework, but at some point I've decided to turn it into a tutorial . Here is a couple of screenshots: http://imgur.com/RdKezPm.png?1 http://i.imgur.com/4ylvyjO.png?1 http://i.imgur.com/NucmQGz.png?1 http://i.imgur.com/oTcAQlr.png?1 My ...

... a dedicated IDE and a drag-and-drop code editor (which I don't). The other choices I tend to recommend (in order) are Godot Engine, GDevelop, and Love2d. I haven't used them, but they seem to be competent and easy to use from what I've seen.

Here is a new project called liko12. I think it is exactly what u were looking for!

Interesting channel, but I agree, way too much Love2D tech demos. I'm thinking about starting with really cool games like Red eclipse and Xonotic and then doing blind let's plays of FLOSS games I can find. Certainly thinking about going through the whole games section in Debian repo.

... Game Maker and GML (GML being basically like JavaScript with Pascal elements tossed in). Such an experience should also be perfectly possible with Love2D, or Godot, or some other game engine that's actually useful. On a side note, I don't even know what informatics is.

... one thing I've thought of recreating at some point. But if you're going to be doing programming in Lua, you might as well use something like Love2D.

... so that a game developer's efforts can be focused on the important aspects. In this sense, it's an alternative to things like Cocos2d and Love2d. More information can be found on the SGE website, found here: http://stellarengine.nongnu.org/ Now, version 0.24 of the SGE has been released ...

... pushed those videos to his channel. It makes the channel flooded with content and the actual good open source games are lost the ton of BGE or Love2D proof of concepts or "I'm learning programming" projects. And many videos actually show obvious bugs, quite often that can be related ...

I never used Love2D but one of the issue would be the absence of 3D and or editor. Godot scripting is very similar to python so if you want to do something "python like" it might be a very good choice. There is also a ...

... and performance are both terrible. Pygame's last stable release was in 2009; it still uses SDL 1.2 as its backend. Instead, I'd recommend Love2D as it has a very similar API, packaging is trivial and performance is great. One major downside is that coming from a language like python, Lua ...

... one of these: - GDevelop: http://compilgames.net - Godot Engine: http://www.godotengine.org - Python: https://www.python.org - LÖVE: https://love2d.org/ GDevelop, Godot Engine, and LÖVE are game engines. GDevelop doesn't need programming at all from my understanding. Godot Engine uses a custom ...

... 2d party crpg, with recover time based battles at hexagonal field. Fantasy setting (mediaval, magic, alchemy, melee). Engine uses script language (love2d + lua). Map editor. ~70 — 80% of game engine is done atm. More information later, after validating of my account.

Hello everyone. I once developed this game with LÖVE(Love2D), then I decided to port it to C++/Qt. Some of you may remember it, I've posted about it here. It's ported completely. I plan to make new levels for this one soon. It's inspired by, but not ...

... "Write once, compile on each target platform and run anywhere" which is less appealing. Anyway, it's nice to see something close to Love2D in Python. Good luck.
