- Created a new module onto Love2D dubbed
sample
that is accessed via thelove.sample
Lua Module. - The module has only one function named
doSum
which sums 2 numbers. - The file
sample-module-test.lua
demonstrates the module in action.
LÖVE is an awesome framework you can use to make 2D games in Lua. It's free, open-source, and works on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Android, and iOS.
We use our wiki for documentation. If you need further help, feel free to ask on our forums, our Discord server, or our IRC channel #love on OFTC.
Follow the instructions at the megasource repository page.
Run platform/unix/automagic
from the repository root, then run ./configure and make.
$ platform/unix/automagic
$ ./configure
$ make
When using a source release, automagic has already been run, and the first step can be skipped.
Download the required frameworks from here and place them in /Library/Frameworks/
.
Then use the Xcode project found at platform/xcode/love.xcodeproj
to build the love-macosx
target.
Download the ios-libraries
zip file corresponding to the LÖVE version being used from here,
unzip it, and place the include
and libraries
subfolders into LÖVE's platform/xcode/ios
folder.
Then use the Xcode project found at platform/xcode/love.xcodeproj
to build the love-ios
target.
See readme-iOS.rtf
for more information.
Visit the Android build repository for build instructions.
We use the 'default' branch for development, and therefore it should not be considered stable. Also used is the 'minor' branch, which is used for features in the next minor version and it is not our development target (which would be the next revision - version numbers are formatted major.minor.revision.)
We tag all our releases (since we started using mercurial), and have binary downloads available for them.
Experimental changes are developed in the separate love-experiments repository.
The best places to contribute are through the Bitbucket issue tracker and the official Discord server or IRC channel. For code contributions, pull requests and patches are welcome. Be sure to read the source code style guide.
Releases are found in the 'downloads' section on bitbucket, are linked on the site, and there's a ppa for ubuntu, ppa:bartbes/love-stable.
There are also unstable/nightly builds:
- Most can be found here.
- For ubuntu linux they are in ppa:bartbes/love-unstable
- For arch linux there's love-hg in the AUR.
