If you already have the text online somewhere, then it should be possible by using http.request:

I personally think it is easier to learn from examples than from boring explanations (that's how I actually learned programming )

So here's a very simple example on how to load/print online content:

Code: Select all

function love.load()
	http = require("socket.http")
	a, b = http.request("http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=NW3H038r")
	love.graphics.setBackgroundColor(255, 255, 255)
	if a and b then
		a = string.gsub(a, "\r\n", "\n")
	end
end

function love.draw()
	love.graphics.setColor(0, 0, 0, 255)
	if b then
		love.graphics.print("Code: " .. tostring(b), 7, 7)
	end
	if a then
		love.graphics.print("Content:\n\n" .. tostring(a), 7, 7+32)
	end
end
