i was just wondering so when the time comes and im done my game if there is a compiler that works for love. so i can just download it to a cd and have my friends play it without having to download and install love.

Steps

Create a .love
Copy the love.exe and the dll's to the same dir
Open a console (command prompt/cmd.exe)
Go to the directory where it is stored ("cd /d <dir>")
Execute the following command: "copy /B love.exe+<name of .love> <target name (.exe)>"
Distribute the new exe and the dll's

If you need more help, just ask.

I would recommend, however, that you keep the .love'd version handy for those of us that don't use Windows and don't want to use Wine or can't use Wine.

I think he's saying you can substitute the Windows executable for the corresponding ".love" ZIP archive. I don't know for sure, but if ZIP is anything like the compression formats I'm familiar with, they're fairly tolerant of having extra junk in the file that isn't relevant to the actual archive.

All his post was was a quote of mine, so I was asking if he had a purpose for a 'useless' post.
