love.conf not using love.quit when closed

[davisdude]

It came to my attention recently that love.conf doesn't go to love.quit when closed. It bypasses it completely. I was just wondering why it did that. For speed, because of callbacks being hard/impossible?

I'm not sure what this is even supposed to mean, how is love.conf 'closed'?

[davisdude]

Oh, not love.conf, the console. My bad.
Ya' know, the little console window...

[bartbes]

You mean that if you close the console it kills love? Yeah.. that's kind of windows for you, there.

[davisdude]

No. I'm saying that when you close the window it completely bypasses love.quit.

[Davidobot]

No. I'm saying that when you close the window it completely bypasses love.quit.

Really? Never encountered that before.

[bartbes]

Kills, yes.

[davisdude]

I was just wondering why it does that? Is it just functionality, or just because?

Closing the console kills LÖVE instantly on every OS (well, at least Windows and Ubuntu), I think it's normal; the difference is that the latter actually asks you if you want to do that while Windows doesn't care and kills it right away.

Closing the console kills LÖVE whatever programs are associated with that console instantly on every OS.

FTFY.

If you don't like what it does, take it up with Microsoft.
