where are the examples images

Post by cedardoc »

Hi, I'm just starting up with love/lua and found this examples file

https://love2d.org/wiki/main.lua

Where would I find the images it refers to? When I run it as it I get the following error:
could not open file images/love-big-ball.png. Does not exist

thanks,
Dave

I have no idea what that is. My suggestion is that you pretend you never saw that page in the first place and move along.
Help us help you: attach a .love.

I suggest not trying that example. If you just want to see a game running, I suggest running goature's tutorial game:

Tut: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngEAXeoqyMg
DL: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1438288/Example_Game15.rar

Just extract the rar, zip the contents, rename .zip to .love, and run the file :) You can follow the tutorial from beginning to end if you want to understand some key concepts of lua and the like. Sockmunkee's tutorials are also great and are more directed to the beginner lua programmer. I personally learnt the basics from both of them. :)

Else, if this is your first foray into game development or programming in general, first try the "Hello World" example on the wiki.
