Running Program

[RedEyedGrassMan]

I am a mac osX Yosemite user and when I drag my game folder into love nothing happens. I try making a .love file by going into the folder and selecting all the files right clicking choosing compress and changing it to .love from .zip. It then changes no problem and I know that because the picture and the default application to open it with changes. Yet when I open the file nothing happens. Will someone please help me?

What happens if you try to run LÖVE itself, without any file or folder? Do you see the nogame screen?
Also, did you try running it from the terminal? Open one (I don't know how, I've never used a Mac), then run

Code: Select all

"path/to/love.app" "path/to/fileOrFolder"

(Of course, you should put the actual paths in the quotes)

I do get the no game screen. When I run the command you said to try in terminal (the console for mac) it says -bash: Users/lucasalland/Desktop/love.app is a directory.

Oops. I meant

Code: Select all

open "path/to/love.app" "path/to/file"

It opens the folder and the no game screen seperetly. Nothing at all happens if I make the folder into a .love file

Heh, maybe I should let someone who knows how a Mac works (slime, Jasoco?) handle this

I'm not sure if I can be much help, but when I use my mac to work on love games, I keep the original love.app on the dock and I drag the game's folder on to the app. For a while, I had the actual app on my desktop and just dragged the folder on to it.

Hope you get it to work!
