Download 0.10.2 for Mac

Post by saraalkuwari »

when I want to download love 10.2 I used the version by Alex Szpakowski from the love website, and it shows me a window with a toast and some words, and I also tried to download the version from the love website it shows me a window with a chick holding a ballon. Does anyone what's the problem?. thank you

Those are the screens that pop up when you run each version without providing game files for it to run (i.e. a directory containing main.lua). They are what would pop up if you just execute the downloaded file. You're saying you get them when you press the download button?

If you're getting it when running, this is expected. It is not a Guided User Interface or Integrated Development Environment. You'll want to get whatever code editor you prefer (I use emacs, but I'm a little wierd. I hear ZeroBrane is a good IDE for lua), and write the game code in a file main.lua, then you want to run love on the directory containing main.lua (there are tutorials you can start with here: https://love2d.org/wiki/Category:Tutorials).

It's different than a lot of popular game engines that way, but it's what I love about it - it lets me work my own way, rather than only the way the creators of the engine had in mind. And rather than spending time navigating a unique interface, I can just use the same programs I do for everything else.
