Project --> Lua Interpreter --> Love2d

The software is free, but the developer does ask for donations.

Hmm, interesting. I'll try it, as Sublime Text 2's babbling about "buy license" is getting annoying.

Edit: Ran it, and it looks like Eclipse. Not bad!

I can't stand using apps on OS X that don't feel like OS X apps. They're usually quickly thrown together UI's designed for Windows with Linux and OS X as an afterthought that they just throw a wrapper around and it ends up not feeling right.

Sublime Text 2 isn't that bad at nagging. It only does it once every few hundred saves. Be glad it's not a 30-day trial or every single time you save or a limit of 1000 characters.

Yeah, one of the reasons I love this editor is so I don't have to package the main.lua into a zipped LOVE file everytime to see how something runs. I'm sure there are other clean ways of doing it. ZeroBrane just happens to natively support LUA, which I like.

Just so you know, you can do this with both Notepad++ and Sublime Text 2 too (at least on Windows).
