[Solved] Run Love with Creating .love Archive?

[firefly2442]

Is it possible to run the love main.lua file and startup the program without having to create the .love archive? I know it's essentially just a zip file, but for development and testing purposes it would be nice to be able to skip this and run the code straight away. Not sure if this is possible or not.

Cheers.

you can pass an argument to love pointing it to a directory with a main.lua file too.
I open a terminal at the location of my main.lua and type "love ."

The Getting Started page on the wiki has a section about Running Games. It tells you how you can run a project from a folder.

Also, there are some editors that allow compiling with one keystroke. There are some examples in the wiki:

You say "compiling" but you mean "running".

Thank you. Can't believe I missed that section.
