Ok first step, get a nice IDE. There is some discussion what to choose here: https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6915 And a awesome list here: https://github.com/love2d-community/awesome-love2d#ides I'll probably go with the ATOM IDE: https://atom.io/packages/love-ide ...

... is written in lua and I am interested in developing extensions for it. It seems fairly popular around here as well, especially in the form of Love2D: https://love2d.org So if you want to help me or just join me in learning it, this is the place. Although a word of warning... I am probably ...

I've started to work on life and mana gauges. The idea to have the UI kinda isometric like the map definitely did not help there. https://love2d.org/forums/download/file.php?id=18031 Oh, if only I was better at making animated graphics and sound effects. This would become an orgy of light, ...

... a usable state. The server already implements a chat command, but the clients lack text areas for that. While really good in graphics and sound, Love2d strangely has no support to edit strings by user input. One has to handle everything by oneself, cursor movement, delete, backspace ... There ...

I feel my motivation dropping ... but I made two new map backgrounds and tweaked the UI a little. Wasteland ground: https://love2d.org/forums/download/file.php?id=18023 And rough grass: https://love2d.org/forums/download/file.php?id=18025 I published the wasteland and grass textures ...

... 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...

... 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?

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!

... 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 ...

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 ...
