Need some suggestions on how to proceed in löve2d game dev using an android smartphone..

Post by 5hr33h4r »

Hi. I recently found "löve for android" app in playstore ..so i was thinking of making a pixel art game using löve2d and an android phone just for fun.But i have some doubt regarding that...

1.Is it even possible to make games in an android smartphone?
2.Which Lua version should i learn 5.4 or 5.1?also which version does löve2d uses?
3.Any suggestions on which apps/tools should i use ??..my findings are pixel studio,pixly,quickedit text editor..

I have some basic programming experience with c, python, java..but no experience in pixel art even though i used to draw well using colour pencils few years ago..

Hi and welcome to the forums!

1. Yes, although you might want to invest in a keyboard (at least) to plug into your phone to make things easier...

2. 5.1, but also read https://luajit.org/extensions.html because löve uses luaJIT; note that currently the DLUAJIT_ENABLE_LUA52COMPAT flag is disabled, so the latter half of the 5.2 features are not supported.

3. anything works if you can use the apps.
