How to get started with Love2D/ using lua to create games.

Question

1. Download love2d: https://love2d.org
2. Download ide of choice; I recommend Visual Studio or Atom since they have simple package managers
3. Add love install folder to your environment variables
4. Install Lua and Love2D extension

Restart your ide, and you should be good to go! Follow along with the instructions on the extensions page.

I’m making this post because I’d love to see more people get into Lua! In hopes that one day maybe solo learn will consider creating a course!

Answer 1

Hi, this is the Q&A section. Here you can ask programming related questions.

If you would like a Lua course, suggest it to sololearn via the in-app feedback function or mail them. They usually don't read here.

Answer 2

Honestly I didnt even know there are different sections, thanks!

Hi, this realy interesting thing. Can you show us your projects on lua or love2d? Have you seen pygame library for python?
