Simple Game Examples

[aqualizard94]

Hello! I am so excited about Love2d! Finally I feel like I will be able to design some games without a huge learning curve. (I hope!) In my day job I work in HTML/CSS/Javascript/PHP daily, so I am not starting from scratch, though LUA looks fairly different. But at least it is a scripting language, I figure.

I would love if someone could point me to some simple, barebones game examples. Tutorials, skeletons, game beginnings, etc.for things like:

1. break out game, with just paddle and bricks
2. lunar lander style game
3. platformer with just one screen, and player movement/jumping on statiobary platforms (like Jumpman from C-64)
4. space invaders (this one I found, sort of, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUiz1kL0QtI by Spastic Kangaroo. Very helpful, but a bit uneven.)
5. one screen frogger style example

Bottom line is I feel I can learn most rapidly with some real examples that are simple.

Thanks so much! I am super excited about this new Love2d world I am seeing for the first time. My hope/dream is in 1 year I will have some simple Android games my 5 year old daughter can play on a tablet that I designed in Love2d!

A good resource is the projects & demos section in the forum.
Most of the games you will find are very small and open source.

Ludum Dare games are also small in scope.
