[Problem]Game wont start up!

[ZFG]

Ok, so I just heard about this program and I want to start developing. But when I try make my game start, it doesn't do anything. I have tried to drag it to the EXE, not working, Zip it as a .love file, not working. So have no Idea have to get it to work. Anyone had this problem?

Could very well be that you have a box2d error and that it shuts down as soon as you start it. Try running the game with an empty main file and see if you can get a black screen at least. I tend to run it through a command prompt / terminal but dragging to the exe should also work. On windows: start>run/search>cmd, cd to the directory above the game folder and run "c:\program(...)\love\love.exe <gamefolder>" where <gamefolder> is the name of the folder of the game (the one containing main.lua).

You made sure that the folder/love file you're using have a main.lua in the root directory?

Yeah, I have. Trying the CMD method now.

EDIT: The Love program is working fine without the game files inplented.

Mind uploading the love file in question for us?

Hmmm, define 'won't start' it sounds to me as if

A) You aren't dragging the root folder with your main.lua and game.conf
or
B) You are, however your script causes an immediate crash with no error

As Skofo says - upload the love file or your main.lua and we can take at look-see.

Here you go!

Works perfectly for me. Perhaps there's something wrong with your LOVE installation.

This is what I'm leaning towards, Skofo, re http://www.sonicfangameshq.com/forum/sh ... php?t=5313 this thread when I'd tried to help him.

Comfirmed - works perfectly O.o

Hmmm - did you mention what OS you are using?

If you are using Vista it might be worth disabling that silly UAC feature or whatever it is called - fortunately I decimated mine a while back so I don't recall its name, have you tried rightclicking the .love file and 'Run as... Administrator'?
