Learn Lua / Love2D with me :)
Posted: 15 Apr 2020, 00:38
So I decided that it might be nice to learn some lua. No lua doesn't suck: https://youtu.be/LvpDE5z2_XE
Both for simple game dev, but also because the popular XMPP server Prosody 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 going to be a lot slower than you as I suck
I'll probably start with this tutorial series: https://sheepolution.com/learn/book/contents
Maybe something from here is interesting as well: http://lua-users.org/wiki/TutorialDirectory
But the medium term goal is to revive this Love2D project and get it to a fun state:

Or maybe I'll try some Godot project with this: https://github.com/perbone/luascript
