Offline LÖVE2D Documentation for 11.x

Post by alejandroalzate »

Since the topic "General > Offline LÖVE documentation for download" has been abandoned i want to contribute with my own copy of the wiki

On my GitHub
you'll be able to get a copy of the wiki that's is updated every 6 months or so, you can turn on notifications to see new updates on it! :)

:huh: Normie way to everybody but nerds:
1. Click the link above

2. Find the "Code" button and click it
(It may not appear on schmol screens / windows, it's annoying)

3. Click Download ZIP, You'll have a download going

4. Unzip > And goto love2doc/love2d.org > Open index.html With preferred explorer

:cool: Who wants to do it the nerd way here is a snippet for Linux users:
*Subject to change

Code: Select all

#Goto home folder to fail safe job
cd ~/

#Two matches may make it fail
cd ~/Doc*

#Lowercase to easy console reach
mkdir ./love2ddocs
cd love2ddocs

#The real deal
git clone https://github.com/alejandro-alzate/love2doc.git .

#Finish, Ready to use
xdg-open love2d.org/index.html

Code: Select all

target = boardIndex.getWhosPeekingThisLine()
target:setObey(true)

Stupid question, but you'll be keeping this up to date with the wiki? Do you get notifications when the wiki has additions/changes?
Any code samples/ideas by me should be considered Public Domain (no attribution needed) license unless otherwise stated.

So, this is broken. None of the links to docs for individual functions work. The git repo is filled with .tmp files for the missing pages; probably something went wrong during the scraping process.

To say the least, the page doesn't contain "Examples" sections. For instance, the section in the love.run article contains a default value that is crucial for understanding how "the heart" of one's game is really wired together, whether love.update and love.draw are always in sync with each other or not, etc.
