Hello fellow devs,
I have made a demo of my game that I want to distribute to some BETA testers. I made an .exe file of my game , however when I try to run it it will complain that it can not find some particular source files . If I move the excecutable to the folder where I have my source files , the application runs without any issue. The excetutable should run regardless its location, shouldn't it? I have uploaded a .love file with my game on google drive, click here if you want to access it.
Thank you in advance
In the code you're requiring things from a folder named "states" but the zip file has a folder named "States" with an uppercase S. Zip files and most non-Windows systems have case sensitive filenames which is why the game works with the unpacked files next to it.
As to why LÖVE says there's no game, I'm not completely sure why. Might be because the error happened in the main chuck of the main.lua file and LÖVE hasn't prepared any proper error handlers yet or something. I would suggest putting all loading code, including require calls (you're requiring "src/Dependencies" at the top of the file), in love.load().
Also, even if you combine love.exe with your .love file, you still need all the .dll files next to it for it to work.
Me and my stuff True Neutral Aspirant. Why, yes, i do indeed enjoy sarcastically correcting others when they make the most blatant of spelling mistakes. No bullying or trolling the innocent tho.

Yes I did that step in the first place, the problem was the one ReFreezed suggested.
