Post by Tomonline »

hi there everyone,

i have downloaded and installed the "love engine" and the "examples.zip" and
tested the examples files, the two last files make the engine crash, also the hello world example
won't work from the website:

function love.draw()
love.graphics.print("Hello World", 400, 300)

Can you be a bit more clear about "crashing"? Do you get a light-blue screen with an error in it? (And if so, which one?)

Or does the entire application crash and do you get one of those windows "this program is not responding" messages?

You might have a loop that never stops. When you do, love2d crashes. Could we see the whole code?

but even the most basic example doesn't work...

=======================================================================================================================================
Making a Game:

To make a minimal game, create a folder anywhere, and open up your favorite code editor. Notepad++ is a pretty good one for Windows, and it has Lua support built in. Create a new file in the folder you just created, and name it main.lua. Put the following code in the file, and save it.

function love.draw()
love.graphics.print("Hello World", 400, 300)
end
=======================================================================================================================================

even this doesn't work
it go's white, then i get the message from windows were they ask to force quit the program because its crached...

lf = love.filesystem
ls = love.sound
la = love.audio
lp = love.physics
lt = love.thread
li = love.image

If you use this version of LÖVE, do things work? Compared to 0.8.0 it just has a bugfix applied for a crashing issue with some ATI video cards in Windows when text is printed.
