If you are new to löve, no.

If you are a veteran to löve, then there is less "no".

You could:

1. Remove the Lua usage from the löve codebase, and re-write the API calls in c++, and then recompile it, or just compile it as a project and use löve as a library. (People don't do this)
2. Find or write a c++ interpreter written in Lua. (People definitely don't do this)

There is a other way to access C code in Lua.

There is a lua library called Alien. This lib has functions to access native code in dynamic libraries(*.dll/*.so).

You're doing it wrong.

The whole point of Löve is to avoid the hassle of going the lenghty, confusing and bug prone way of the C++.

Instead of C++, with Löve you write your code in Lua, which is much easier and safe and simple than C++, thus allowing to produce in days what would take months.

If you don't like Lua and insist of programming your application in C++, then there are a tons of C++ libraries out there aiming at providing interfaces like Löve but for C++.





If you already knew that but still need to add a touch of C++ to a big Lua project, then use package.loadlib
