How to start?

[TheGameMaker]

I downloaded the 64 bit zipped version for mac and when I open it up it opens up an application called Baby Inspector or something. How do I code?

The thing you downloaded is the executable, but the actual code has to be written in a regular code editor (like notepad++ or sublime or whatever you have on Mac)

try the löve wiki?

TLDR: Once you have a folder containing a main.lua, drag that folder onto the Löve .app and it'll run.

Step by step:

• Create a folder
• Create a file and name it main.lua
• Paste this inside the file:

  Code: Select all

  function love.draw()
    love.graphics.rectangle('fill',100,100,100,100)
  end

• Drag and drop the folder into the love.app
• Edit main.lua however you want and do step 4 again to reload your code.
• Read the wiki and have fun
