Essential libraries for game making

[Kibita]

Hello guys!

What are the essential lua/love2d libraries that I should have to help me to build a game? HUMP, anim8, ... ?
Thank you!

I know this list, but I didn't mean this.

Other than those, which list the libs you should know about, you don't need any lib to actually make something.

In fact, you don't need any lib to actually make something.

All they do is implement a common piece of functionality. If you feel like getting along with it instead of implementing one yourself, you can use it.

Rather than debating if you need it or not, here's my list:

Middleclass: Best class system in my opinion.
Hump: I mainly use Vector, Gamestate, Timer and Camera.
Flux: Tweening makes things look fancy, it's better than Hump's timer system in my opinion.
Shine: Post processing shaders. I mainly use it for bloom with gaussianblur.
Bump / HC: Depending on what kind of collision type I need. Axis aligned: Bump. Anything else: HC
Imgui: Great debugging GUI, and it makes you look really cool and shit.

A GUI lib and a Gamestate lib would help!
I'm not using either, but I'm using flux for tweening, classic for OOP and a camera!
