Where do you see Love2d in 5 years?

I hope that in five years, everyone will use LÖVE's proper name, instead of using "love2d". (It's just the domain name, folks!)

You may be interested in what was said about the future of Löve 5 years ago:

Why is this not implemented yet:

Framerate cap
Code: Select all
love.timer:setCap(100)

It is, you can do it yourself by modifying love.run and using love.timer.sleep.

Also I could see ports to consoles, like whatever the xbox will be, or ps.

Everyone loves to dance.

I doubt that. Maybe I'll be proved wrong, but I doubt that. An OUYA port would be pretty fore-seeable, at least in my eyes.

What is that?

Legit 3D: doubt it, as that would be a massive overhaul of the entire engine. Although I must confess that would be awesome.
iOS support: again, doubt it but it is more likely, but only if it is done in the same way as Corona as it violated the ToC to have an app that runs user generated games.
Side scroller support: I've no idea, its something that Eamonn said and I couldn't quote him as I was on my iPod at the time (which only allows quick reply)

If we can perfect love-android then we are pretty much done porting love to OUYA, since, as far as I can tell, it accepts .apk files.

By side-scroller support I think he meant a camera that moves one way?
