Questions on start.

[aku]

Hello, Im LUA programmer. I've decided to make 2D game, I found Love Engine which uses LUA language. But there too many things. I was programmer on Multi Theft Auto project. I've already know how to run my game and how to make config file but I have questions:

1. From what I should start?(I already know LUA)
2. What libraries I will need to make RPG game?
3. How Can I make map, NPC'S, player controls etc.?
4. How can I make menu with load, save, options and new game?
5. Does Love Engine supports MySQL database?
6. How can I make multiplayer mode?
7. And what I should know more?

I totally green in Love Engine, wiki is not very good for beginners there are only functions and how to run your game.

Hello aku,

First, as a Lua programmer, you probably already know it's not spelled LUA.

1. From what I should start?(I already know LUA)

The wiki is a good place to start. You say it only lists functions, but that's really all you need. (EDIT: Category:Tutorials and Getting Started are probably what you need most right now.)

2. What libraries I will need to make RPG game?

None, if you are willing to write one from scratch. If you aren't, I don't think there is a library for RPG games in LÖVE.

3. How Can I make map, NPC'S, player controls etc.?

You can write them in Lua.

4. How can I make menu with load, save, options and new game?

My answer to this is the same as my previous one.

5. Does Love Engine supports MySQL database?

No.

6. How can I make multiplayer mode?

LÖVE includes Luasocket, you can use that.

7. And what I should know more?

Depends on where you want to go.

Aaand expanded a bit

1. From what I should start?(I already know LUA)

wiki and/or tile-tutorial

3. How Can I make map, NPC'S, player controls etc.?

Probably with OOP. There are a lot of them written by other lövers. Like middleclass or hump.class

4. How can I make menu with load, save, options and new game?

With state managers or simply like this

6. How can I make multiplayer mode?

Luasocket or LUBE (library)

I personally don't recommend starting Löve with RPG and even multiplayer game
