Check-out this excellent video tutorial on how to build a 2d shooter: http://cupm.net/public/love2dtutorial/
Re: is it possible to make a 2d pixel shooter
I've seen a lot of people in the same situation as poopooheadcow (where in what good God's name did you get the idea to name your profile poopooheadcow??????) getting "bashed" because of posting something like this. I guess it just goes to prove that Lovers are a different group, way more tolerant hehe.
Well poopooheadcow, I think your problem lies with this: you probably don't know a thing about game programming. Perhaps not even a great deal about general programming at all. I can be wrong, I'll admit that, but your questions lead me to that sole conclusion. I'd advise you to start low, get to know a programming language (Lua is fine), then read a little bit about game programming (just search the web for tutorials and stuff), and finally, visit the Wiki, download some demos and explore their code, try to understand them, then try changing little things and see what happens. And when you have doubs, you can try searching the forums for an answer or post for help.
Good luck.

In addition to the above post I would like to say that trying to learn hands-on is the best way to learn, pick a small project that you like - read the code - try to understand it. Slowly create a simple game (don't jump to frameworks and classes just yet) and enjoy yourself - make yourself happy that you can actually code.
Then, understand frameworks and read the Lua reference and the LOVE wiki (infact, you should always have a LOVE Wiki tab open) - read the documentation.
Anyway.. that's how I learn't. Love is much easier to learn Lua than how Anderl, Wojak(?) and I learnt Lua.

Lua is not an acronym.

Well that definitely beats how I learnt lua, disecting code from ROBLOX for about a year and a half.qaisjp wrote:In addition to the above post I would like to say that trying to learn hands-on is the best way to learn, pick a small project that you like - read the code - try to understand it.

I assume you mean playing around with programming online.
If you mean just Lua then there's the demo, which you can just play around with Lua on. For love I don't believe there's an online method.
