/Users/[user]/Library/Application Support/LOVE/ is where you'll find your stuff. Provided you have set t.identity in love.conf, or with love.filesystem.setIdentity.

This is on the wiki: [here]

i did as wiki and as how you said it and i dont see any folder or any love at all? what i did is downloaded love and placed it under finder/applications thats all!!!
did i do wrong in order for the folder love to be hidden or not there and if it is hidden how can i show it so i can work on it????

How did you try love.filesystem.write("score" , " the score is"..scores)? What was the .love exactly, how did you run LÖVE?

Oh of course, the Library folder is hidden by default.

A quick to get to it is this. With Finder active, hit Cmd+Shift+G. This will bring up a 'Go to' dialog. Type or copy this exact text, without quotes: "~/Library/Application Support". Hit Return or click on Go. You should now find a LOVE folder and in that, the folder with the name you set in t.identity.

thank you for the command....
mac its different from windows ...

but for hidden folder? how do you active them?if in case i want to hide a folder?
windows its easy but here mac not sure what to do?

Files and folders that start with a period are hidden. Library is a special system folder, so that's hidden. I don't think you can hide or unhide folders and files any other way. Note that you'll probably need to create your hidden files and folders in the Terminal (command line), OS X won't let you create it in Finder.

how come i was not able to find love folder ???that's not a special folder for mac
weirdly i had to format mac and after it it worked but before nothing at all

[DaedalusYoung]

The Love folder is inside the Library folder. So if you can not see that one, then you can't see the Love folder.
