has anybody been on these two site

You can't really make a game in pure Lua - there's no way to have sounds, graphics, non-blocking input... You'd basically be able to make an old-school roguelike or text-based adventure game, but that's about it.

so what are the demos and project i see some of the members making there games out off

You do realize what Love is, right?

from what i have learn so far love is a farmwork made from c or c++ and all the functions and tables are from c/c++, and second lua has to be embedded in a host to actually run so I'm guessing love act as a host program to run lua and lua just thinks it's embedded in another program

if im wrong please correct me

You are mostly correct.

Some functions and tables are provided by the framework - namely, those that begin with "love" - "love.graphics.*", "love.filesystem.*" ,etc. Not all of them are in C++ - some of them are written in Lua (for example love.run).

Other functions (for example upack, table.* or string.*) are provided by Lua directly. Notice none of them are graphics or sound-related. Indeed, if you want to use graphics or sound with Lua, you need to embed it into something else that provides interfaces to those from Lua - and that's what LÖVE does.

I want it ( it mean toturial or what ever the source is) to teach me Lua while making a game in lov2d maybe that's to much to ask for I guess the reason why I'm asking for it that way because that how I was learning c# and xna, as one and that's what I feel comfortable with and what im trying to do in the long run.

I tried to make something similar to that on my love tile tutorial. Unfortunately it is not finished. But there's a whole chapter dedicated to the basics - tables, loops and strings. Functions are taught "on the go", later on, in chapter 1, section e.

If you are interested in learning Lua as a language, you might also want to give a look at my Lua missions. They are a set of exercises designed to help you learn the language itself; LÖVE isn't used (or required) to make the exercises.

why donts my print high light like yours

function love.draw()
love.graphics.print(Message, 200, 200)
end

You mean, in the forums, right? You have to surround your code with [ code ] and [/ code ] (without spaces). So writing this:

[ code ]
function love.draw()
love.graphics.print(Message, 200, 200)
end
[/ code ]

Removing the spaces will give you this:

Code: Select all

function love.draw()
  love.graphics.print(Message, 200, 200)
end

Had you spelled it that way in the first place I probably wouldn't have asked.
