Lovely Engine Pre-Alpha 7 (2013-03-16)

[Synok]

Hello guys!

A few days ago, I saw some topic about a Love2D IDE with a quite sarcastic remark. It sounded like: "Coming March 2142" or something. So I thought to myself, "Well, an IDE?" and started to write something that feels more like a game engine. Also I did this because I need to ease the road for me on an upcoming title that will be powered by my engine, and Love2D.

Please run this as admin. Otherwise, it cannot properly copy data upon building.
Also, this is compiled using the .NET Framework 4.5 which can be found here:

Please leave a word or two if you think this can be useful. If you run into any problems, please check the Help file that comes along with it.

Enjoy. :-)

So this is Love2D IDE?

So this is Love2D IDE?

At least my version of it. :-)

If you came too early, I did a small bug fix. Should work to build project now.

It's not working for me. Lovely Engine.exe is not a valid Win32 application. I think it means that it's not capable for 32 bits, or windows xp?

[Synok]

Compiled it with Visual Studio 2012, independent on CPU architecture. It should run on both X86 and X64 CPUs.
It didn't include instructions for it to compile for Windows XP though, sorry.

[TheScriptan]

Yeah, that is my old pc, that is bullcrap...

[Synok]

All I can say is, try getting the latest .NET Framework. It uses the version 4.5. Ill try make a build that requires less. Sorry for any inconvenience.

[TheScriptan]

I did not even know that .NET version is 4.5 already

[Synok]

Sometimes I agree that it is hard to catch up on, heh.

Cool. Have you seen my IDE, love studio?

I created it using .NET, so you might be interested in forking it, or just reading the code to get some ideas.
