Can I port LOVE to other scripting language like Python, Ruby?
Or perhaps just in C++.

So you may port Löve to Python or Ruby. I don't see the point for C++ as there are enaugh other libs that help you out there.

I'd love to see a Ruby and a Python port. Lua's great, but it feels too limited here and there. Although if I were personally going to be porting this to another language, it'd be a subset of BASIC. Why? I'm insane, haven't you figured that out by now?

Okay, i planned to port it into Python, and need some help.

I found some file called "LuaGame.h" and "LuadGame.cpp" that parse Lua code to a runnable LOVE game.
Can anyone tell me how this things works? Can I just change it into Python by importing (embeddable) Python intepreter, do thisandthat, or something else?
I can do some C++ here.

*lol* I guess you just disqualified yourself for a project like this. You can't just replace those two files with a python interpreter as there are a lot more things written especially for lua. Every call from lua to C has lines somewhere. Just look at the OpenGL/Lua interface and you know what I mean. This is a massive project, trust me.

have you tried pygame and rubygame? they offer the same kind of functionality as love (I don't mean to drive you away from love).
