LOVE is a framework for making 2D games with Lua. It is open-source, cross-platform, and all that lovely stuff, unlike Roblox. Have you seen stuff about it or made anything cool with it? I believe xLEGOx and some of you others have.

I've heard about it (from xLEGOx), but IDK how to use it and I'm too lazy right now to learn how to use it. We should make a site to have fun with LOVE and to share programs made with it, I guess? I suppose it's way better than ROBLOX. Just so I know, what are it's features? Meaning, what can you do with it?

Anybody want to create a website community for LOVE? This program looks like it would kick Roblox's but any day and it would be really neat if a website was created for the use of sharing games and such AND that had a decent, MODERATED forum for scripting discussion that didn't care what we talked about as long as it was PG-13.

I don't really wanna do it. I've seen too many fan forums go belly up in under a week. Along with that, before you make one, make sure that people are actually using LOVE. I'd say only make one if lots of posts around here start being centered around LOVE issues and such.

I downloaded it. I'm trying to figure out how to package/run a LOVE game right now. I'd be glad to help with a website, though my HTML/CSS/JavaScript skills aren't really spectacular. And I'm not hosting it. :-)

But you can't directly make an online game with Love2D, we could use its library and create a server ourselfs though.

*cough* webs *cough* .com

I'm going to create a website on it of funny pictures; my step-dad has quite the collection. It's free if you don't care about
NAMEHERE.
webs
.com
I would prefer to learn more about the engine before creating a website though. And, the LOVE forum look decent enough.

Oh god webs, stay away from that place, you get pretty much no bandwidth or disk space, they don't allow you to upload custom webpages, I don't think you're even allowed to use Javascript on their webpages, you can use limited HTML, when you do a custom CSS you have to follow an outline for it with some things predefined, their forum plugin is crap, and pretty much everything about it sucks.

You forgot the fact that their managers hate kittens and baby koalas.

To run a LOVE game:

1. Open your command line/terminal/whatever your operating system calls it.

2. Create a folder to put your game in.

3. Put source in main.lua inside your folder.

Now, I haven't learned about the API or anything. You can go to the LOVE wiki and read there about it.

If you're making a website, make it like Roblox but with LOVE2D games instead of *.rbxl games. Include forums and a "Games" page to share our games. We can just download them and run them ourselves, unless you figure out how to automate the process. In the forums, we should be able to get help and talk about LOVE2D.

Oh, and...

4. Run with `love path/to/love/file`

It will open up a window with your game in it.

@bunny
Love2D is open sourced, we could find a way to do store it online so we can automate the process like you said.
