LÖVE on Ubuntu 8.04

[7amza]

Hi , i installed LÖVE at ubuntu Hardy 8.04 and has a little problem.

I trying LÖVE i tried to apply this tutorial http://love.sourceforge.net/docs/Getting_started.html , though i can't drage the folder into LÖVE and make it work .!

Though the article of getting started , considers only LÖVE's windows executable file .!

I don't actually use love, but considering how dragging a file onto an application usually works in Windows.
Try:
>love /home/~user/LoveHelloWorld

That is, if your username is user and LoveHelloWorld is the Hello World application's directory which you've placed in your home dir.
Well, that's my guess anyway.

On Linux, you're probably better off typing "love path/to/my/game", like Sardtok says.

Have you tried running just "love" without any parameters to verify that it works at all? You should see a hovering mini-moose. 8-)

Love is working from the first sight . ( the first run before i post here ) .before i added the post of help , ( i tried to do )

>love /path/to/folder/game's file .

now i know what went wrong . it's working perfectly now .
Thanks a lot Sardtok and Rude .

ahh one more thing , Hot to Package a game ? i didn't notice any tutorial -yet- about packaging the game (windows , linux ) ! is there any ?

[rude]

All you need to do is create a .zip-file with all your game content, rename it to .love and run love mygame.love. Make sure that main.lua is on the root inside the .zip-file, not inside some folder!
