First time here, so please let me know if I'm in the wrong section and such...
But I was wondering, how would one set up Visual Studio 2012, like one would set up Eclipse to be able to run LÖVE games by just pressing Run?
I have seen the External Tool option and created one for LÖVE but I couldn't get the arguments right... All that appeared was the rubber piggy.
Any extensions I should know about?
Thank you!

You're in the right section.
I've never heard of anyone trying to run LOVE games with Visual Studio (unless they're using the source as a base), but there's a way to do it with Notepad++, if you have that.
This might help with that.

Re: Halp, setting up Visual Studio with LÖVE
Using Visual Studio for building LÖVE projects is kind of like using a bulldozer to kill a cockroach. Any text editor that can also execute commands (like the already mentioned Notepad++ or gedit) will do just fine. The command is just "love .", it's not very complicated.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, you might need more than a bulldozer to kill a cockroach. Cockroaches are scary creatures.

Yeah, I kind of figured that.
But both killing a cockroach with a bulldozer and running love from vs have style

Re: Halp, setting up Visual Studio with LÖVE
I prefer to kill a bulldozer with a cockroach than the other way around. That is, using simple tools to achieve great things. But it's of course a matter of preference and style.
And now I've gotten quite a lot off topic
