This little utility might be useful to people, although it's not free and it doesn't have a specific LÖVE exporter (yet?)

It may help those of us looking to eventually put games on the Mac App Store if you were to outline the steps necessary to convert a LÖVE project to an app that meets their guidelines (or a link to get people started).

You could do some trickery with os.execute or os.getenv to determine the current OS. If/when LuaJIT becomes a standard part of LÖVE it has a jit.os string that will tell you.

If you're just interested in making a texture atlas/spritesheet from a folder of sprites then this seems to do the trick quite well, plus it's cross-platform, although it has much less features than that.

Sounds like you'd get about the same performance using spritebatches then, but you wouldn't have to generate RAM- and time-wasting images.

(mega-bump) I noticed you don't seem to be using spritebatches for your level geometry. Is there any particular reason for this? They'd speed up the level drawing a ton, especially for more complex levels. You'd have to put your static sprites into a sprite sheet though. This tool seems to do the jo...

Version 1.2 now allows you to reverse the snake's direction entirely by pressing spacebar. After playing around with it a bit I've decided it's pretty awesome, but harder to use in the 'fast' gamespeed.

The performance increase is marginal when compared with the real bottlenecks a typical LÖVE game has.

I do that too (store graphics getWidth/getHeight in global variables) but mainly for convenience. xres is a lot faster to type than love.graphics.getWidth().

0.8.0. The development of 0.7.2 has been pretty much frozen for a month, but it didn't get released until now.

One thing I missed earlier . How about an icon file upload field to add to the exe/app/etc? Interesting idea, although I think it might have a hint of feature creep. Having the default LÖVE icon isn't exactly ideal for when you want to distribute a game - and it isn't always clear how to change a p...
