Did you make a correct .love then? The main.lua file must be directly in the top-level of the .love.

I'm pretty sure that it is the .love file. I don't do a thing to the files inside. The main.lua file is on the top most level. Again, I'm pretty sure the problem is in my Love player. I would make a simple program (press up=thing goes up) and then make it a .love and it still wouldn't work.

EDIT= I am sorry for any trouble caused BUT APPARENTLY Ubuntu automagically makes another folder inside the zip.

Other OSs have this too, this is the normal behavior because it prevents people from unpacking .zips with a lot of files in their current directory -- causing a lot of chaos. Because LÖVE uses the files inside the .zip, that approach doesn't work there.

What works is manually putting your files into the zip (or reorganizing the zip, so everything is in top level).

This only happens when you try to zip the folder instead of the contents, so enter the folder, select all files, hit the right button on your mouse and click on create the archive. Now everything should work.

I suppose you meant "file-roller", the default graphical archive manager thingie in Gnome, the default desktop environment of Ubuntu?
Duh i'm just playing on words. ^^

I notice a bug when trying to write something in the textfields. Is this known or is it just something you just randomly forgot?

This probably is a LoveUI bug. Could you tell exactly:
  • What the problem is?
  • How we can reproduce it?

Oh, sorry I forgot to explain ^^
Go to Edit in the main menu and then Settings. Select one of the textfields and press space, the custom error screen will come up saying "attempt to compare number with nil".
I guess it's because LoveUI uses the old constants which don't exists anymore.

And a small question on top of that when still talking about GUIs, what is the function for getting the pressed key with the correct case?

Only works in the keypressed callback and is the second argument you get.
