Getting started on MacOS

[sdeban]

Love looks like a great way to develop games using an easy language. However, I followed the installation instructions on the Love wiki site to the letter and created the minimal program as instructed, but when I run it, the app says there is nothing to run:

"boot.lua : 433 : no code to run"

My code is, as instructed on the getting started section of the wiki,

Code: Select all

function love.draw()
    love.graphics.print("Hello World", 400, 300)
end

Am I missing something? It looks like I am making a function but not calling it, however I can't find anything about how to call a function.

Any help would be appreciated.

Did you name your file main.lua? And, did you start love by passing the directory to it on the command line, by dropping the directory on it (or a shortcut to it), or by making a .love file? That error indicates love found neither conf.lua nor main.lua.

If you created a zip/love file make sure that when you open it you see main.lua and not a single folder, if you see the folder then it's packaged incorrectly

It was within a folder, so that was the problem. Works now. Thanks!
